Megan Nielsen - Paper Sewing Pattern - Hovea Jacket & Coat

The Hovea Jacket & Coat is a loose-fit, drop-shoulder layering piece with six customisable variations, perfect for transitional dressing. With unlined, fully lined, or quilted options, Hovea is designed for versatility, whether you're after a light throw-on jacket or a cosy quilted coat.

The deep, angled pockets provide a striking design detail and practical storage, while the choice of collar bands, binding finishes, or a belted closure lets you personalise your look. Choose between a cropped jacket, mid-length coat, or full-length coat to suit your style.

Make it in cotton, linen, wool, or pre-quilted fabric—Hovea is the ultimate adaptable outerwear pattern for sewists looking to build a handmade wardrobe of timeless, wearable pieces.
