Meet new sewing pattern <Momiji> Walking jacket
Meet the new item from Waffle Patterns Walking jacket <Momiji> sewing pattern. It is an outdoor-wear-inspired item featuring an asymmetric front opening with functional details and many fun pockets.
Make an functional outdoor jacket with many pockets or a rain jacket with water repellent fabric or just keep it simple for daily use as you like.
View A features a hood and knit cuffs. This functional kangaroo pocket has a hand warmer layer. Also, there is a ticket pocket on the sleeve. Those handy details are inspired by winter jackets like ski/snowboarding wear. The orange sample in the photos shows View A.
View B is showing a stand collar with more simple details, like a single-layered kangaroo pocket. so this will be suitable for thicker fabrics like wool coating. The yellow plaid sample in the photos is showing View B.
There are other pocket options like a zipper pocket or chest pocket. All the pocket designs can be attached to both views.
There are other functional details like zipper guard or hood string. You can add or skip those details. But they look nice as design accents and add a professional touch.
Please choose and make your combination depending on your design intention and materials.
My personal favourite is the ticket pocket on the sleeve. It is inspired by ski wear. Since winter in Amsterdam is very cold, I see some people wear this kind of jacket on the street and use this pocket for storing a debit card or ov-card (kind of metro card). So I wanted to add this for that clever and handy usage.
The pattern is drafted for woven fabrics. Mid-heavy weight jacket/coat fabrics like wool, gabardine, twill, or canvas will be suitable. Other outdoor fabrics like softshell or water-repellent twill will be a functional option.
Please make sure that some thick fabrics are not suitable for details like zipper guard or pleats on the pocket, because of the thickness of fabric layers. If you want to use stiff or thick fabric, please consider skipping those details or using thinner contrast fabric instead.
The yellow plaid fabric is wool coating and quite thick, so I skipped the folded part on the zipper guard. Also, this type of fabric is not suitable for pleats and layers on kangaroo+hand warmer pocket.
The orange sample was made with mid-weight coloured denim. I wanted to make it a winter version, so I used thin quilted lining.
The pattern includes lining patterns. But those are intended for normal lining fabrics. If you want to use winter lining like quilted, faux fur, fleece, or flannel, please consider modifying the details. Depending in the fabric, using one size larger may be a nice idea. Here is the blog post about making winter versions. https://blog.wafflepatterns.com/post/167771075466
I want to make one more like a raincoat with water repellent twill when I find perfect materials.
I made both samples with just-fit size and it is no problem. But choosing one-two size bigger will be a better option if you want to use very thick fabric or special winter linings like fleece, faux fur, or thick quilt or you often wear a bulky sweater underneath. Also, consider using slippery lining fabric to sleeve parts for comfort.
The sewing pattern includes the 19 pages instruction and all the sewing processes are described with detailed illustrations. The pattern files are available for both home printers (A4 or US letter) and copy shop(A0 format).
