THE FLYNN JACKET • Pattern

By IN THE FOLDS, The Flynn Jacket is a paper sewing pattern.

Garment Details: The Flynn jacket is a loose-fitting jacket designed for woven fabrics. With two different styles, it is the perfect layering piece for autumn and winter.

The Flynn jacket features a kimono-style collar, a highlow hem and in-seam pockets. All seams are finished with bias binding, for a beautiful and high-end finish.

The Flynn jacket can be worn open or closed discreetly with a hook and eye.

VIEW A The Flynn jacket has a dropped shoulder and sleeve with a hem facing. It also features an inverted box-pleat in the back.

The sleeves on View A are designed to be worn either straight or folded back, for a more casual look.

VIEW B The Flynn jacket is sleeveless and features armhole facings and a flat back piece (no pleat). It has been designed to be worn over long sleeve tops and dresses. 

View B has a closer fit to View A, due to its sleeveless design and flat back piece.

Fabric Suggestions: The Flynn jacket is compatible with bottom-weight fabrics such as: denim, cottons like canvas, duckcloth and drill, and heavyweight linens.

Skill level: The pattern is placed at a Level 2 on the In the Folds pattern skill scale, and was designed for advanced beginners who are ready for new challenges. Through careful drafting and beautiful finishing techniques, this pattern will have you feeling very proud of both the inside and outside of your new handmade jacket. It is a great entry level jacket as it does not require lining, and due to its oversized silhouette, it is easy to achieve a good fit.
