The Ottoline 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 we have included instructions to simplify Ottoline by excluding the side seams and sleeve vents if you like. We 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. All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated. Skill level - experienced, but not doing the slits on the hip or sleeves would make it a more intermediate level. This PDF pattern is made up of 2 A0 pages and 38 A4 pages. Fabric suggestions - 8 - 12.5oz non stretch denim, medium weight cotton drill or canvas, dry oilskin, linen and corduroy. *If you are a curvy size 18, we would recommend selecting the UK 18-28 size range. **Please note that for size 18 - 28 we have added a bust dart to create a better fit.
