Make a choice from the dropdown menu - you can choose either just the pdf files or we can also print the A0 pattern sheets for you.
Note: the print service does not include printing of the instruction pages.
This pattern is available in the following size ranges:
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.
Size UK 6 - 18.
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 download also includes print at home - 33 x A4 pages.
Fabric suggestions - 8 - 12.5oz non stretch denim, medium weight cotton drill or canvas, dry oilskin, linen and corduroy. For the lining we would suggest using either 5oz organic dry oilskin, half panama cotton, or barrier lining.
We recommend pre washing your denim before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight denim into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the denim, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn’t have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:
When you have made your jacket we would recommend washing it inside out.
I recently emailed Maaike to ask if she would recommend this pattern being made from the chunky cotton knit and she responded promptly and gave great advice. It was so convenient to be able to have the pattern printed in A0 size too.
Quality classic pattern.
MaaiDesigns are a favourite.
I've made three of these and absolutely love them!
The fit is great and the style goes with heaps of things.
I'm super happy with this pattern
Bought the Box dress pattern as a PDF, printed and put together to make in the washed denim.Oh boy! Pattern went together really well and directions excellent.
Fabric is gorgeous and so happy with the outcome. Have put in second order for fabric and patterns and now waiting for fabric to dry before making up. QUALITY
