Grainline Studio: Tamarack Jacket UK Sizes 4-22 OR 18-34

A paper sewing pattern by Grainline Studio.

Designed with the transitional seasons in mind, the Tamarack Jacket is a warm and stylish quilted coat perfect for spring and autumn layering. Follow one of the two quilting designs included, or design your own to make your Tamarack totally original to you! You’ll stay toasty thanks to the inner layer of cotton or wool batting, while the roomy welt pockets will keep your belongings safe and your hands warm.

Techniques involved include straight seams, basic quilting, inserting a welt pocket, and applying bias binding.

Difficulty: Intermediate

Choose between the smaller pattern size 0-18 B-Cup (UK 4-22) and the larger size 14-30 (UK 18-34) D-Cup.

The smallest size starts at a 32" chest and the largest has a maximum size of a 56" chest.

Suggested Fabrics: Light to midweight cottons, linens, chambrays and blends. Since the fabric will be doubled and quilted to a batting avoid anything too heavy as the jacket may become too stiff.

The final three images are for the larger size pattern.

PS: I made this in the larger size and left the sleeves off to make a quilted gilet, all you need to do is bind the arm holes. Check out my scrappy improv patchwork version in the last pic!
