Closet Core Patterns - PDF Sewing Pattern - Fowler Barn Coat + Quilted Jacket
Sew your own timeless outerwear with the Closet Core Patterns Fowler Barn Coat + Quilted Jacket PDF Sewing Pattern. This versatile downloadable sewing pattern includes two modern jacket styles: a practical workwear-inspired barn coat and a cosy quilted jacket. Designed with an oversized, gender-neutral fit, Fowler is made for layering and everyday wear.
View A is a classic barn coat featuring double-layer patch pockets, a breast pocket and clean topstitched finishes for an authentic utility look. View B is a quilted jacket with rounded patch pockets and bound edges, giving it a relaxed, contemporary feel that's perfect for cooler days.
With dropped shoulders, a boxy silhouette, two-piece sleeves and a simple bandless collar, Fowler is comfortable to wear and easy to customise. Choose between button or snap fastenings, experiment with quilted fabrics or classic workwear textiles, and create a jacket you'll reach for season after season.
Designed for intermediate sewists, Fowler is a rewarding outerwear project that works equally well as a durable barn coat, a lightweight quilted jacket or a stylish layering piece.
