From Merchant & Mills, the Ottoline pattern is a boxy workwear jacket with cuff and side seam splits and inside pocket.
Although a lovely design detail, the vents are a little tricky, so they have included instructions to simplify Ottoline by excluding the side seams and sleeve vents if preferred.
- Skill Level: Experienced
- Sizes: UK 6-18
- They have found that a heavy duty thread, rather than a topstitch thread, gives a more authentic look to the topstitching, and is easier to use.
- You may find you get a better stitch using a matching 'sew all' thread in the bobbin.
- 1.5cm seam allowance is included in the pattern unless otherwise stated.
- Fabric suggestions: 8 - 12.5oz non-stretch denim, medium-weight cotton drill or canvas, dry oilskin, linen and corduroy.
