The Ormond Jacket is a chore style jacket which is the extra layer you need for the changing seasons. Finishing at the high hip, it’s a versatile piece that will coordinate with lots of outfits in your wardrobe.
The jacket features raglan sleeves which are easy to sew and have a simple hemmed finish. The flat collar, also known as a convertible collar, allows the jacket to be worn fully buttoned up or open for a relaxed look.
There’s satisfying topstitching on the jacket, which highlights the design features, such as the angled front pockets. These roomy pockets are just the right size for holding your essentials, or an extra pair of gloves should the cold weather return!
To complement the fabrics we’ve sourced antique brass jeans style buttons, which give the jacket a work-wear edge. On the inside though it’s all about the beautiful finish and we’ve included super soft and smooth Liberty Tana Lawn to bind the seams with.
In her top tips video Lauren demonstrates how to make your own continuous bias binding using this fabric and also explains how it can be used in the under collar for a flash of colour!
The Ormond is a handy jacket that you’ll find yourself constantly reaching for as you leave the house - the extra layer you didn’t know you were missing!
Each kit includes enough fabric to make the hip length jacket version of this pattern.
This kit is available in four gorgeous spring colours: ecru, lilac, old blue and sage
The fabric we’ve chosen is the Sevenberry Cotton Twill, which is perfect for outerwear. It is hardwearing, yet not stiff and has a lovely softness to it. It is 100% cotton, giving it great breathability, with a weight of 267 g/m².
We’ve paired these fabrics with Liberty Tana Lawn, for a beautiful finish on the inside of your jacket. Liberty’s lawns are renowned for being made from finely woven cotton, which will add a touch of luxury to your make.
