Friday Pattern Co - The Ilford Jacket - XS - 7X - Printed Pattern

The Ilford Jacket sewing pattern from Friday Pattern Co is an ideal project for confident beginners and experienced sewers alike. This versatile, gender-neutral jacket pattern features oversized pockets, a relaxed fold-down collar, and works beautifully in any top-weight, coating-weight, or bottom-weight woven fabric.

Choose linen for breathable summer wear, corduroy or canvas for fall layering, or add a warm flannel lining for winter warmth. The pattern adapts easily—cinch the waist for a fitted silhouette or add front darts for custom shaping.

Clear, beginner-friendly instructions make construction straightforward, while design flexibility lets you personalize every detail. Pair with 18-22mm standard buttons or go bold with 24-32mm statement buttons to complete your custom jacket.

Perfect for DIY sewers seeking a timeless, wearable wardrobe staple.
