Doublure pour l'anorak Kelly Extension de Patron en format PDF

This is yet another fabulous pattern from Closet Core. The pattern layers are quite easy to pick out and trace, and the instructions, as usual, are excellent. The additional sew-along guidance on the website is also really helpful. The pattern is beautifully drafted with lots of lovely details, which you can include or leave out according to your preference. I used waxed cotton (Sahara 6 from British Millerain), which is wonderful and relatively easy to sew. You can't iron this fabric, so I had to topstitch most of the seams and use sew-in interfacing. If I used this fabric again, I'd omit the interfacing as I think the seams would be crisper and the fabric is robust enough without it. I shortened the jacket, added lining, and made a high round back adjustment. I also drafted welted pockets with a flap, as I didn't want patch pockets to clutter the front of the jacket. Thank you, Heather Lou, for yet another wonderful pattern.

I haven’t made the jacket yet, but the pattern instructions look great. I also purchased the lining expansion which also looks consistent in quality with other Closer Core Patterns. I’m looking forward to making the jacket soon.

Great patterns with great instructions as always. Have the perfect fabric for this!

J’ai adoré faire l’anorak Kelly.
Chaque étape est bien documentée.

Anorak DONE!! Trust them when they rate it 'advanced'.

Just a few changes from OEM....welt pockets, detachable hood w/drawstring, cuffs on the lined version, waist drawstring on inside, curved hem on back.

Don't love how the cuffs are done - will use method from cuffed shirts in future. Burrito method for lined version doesn't make sense (as noted in their walkthru site) - it's easier to get front yokes to line up if you don't burrito. Be forewarned: There are many places where one should baste to ensure things fit together and/or line up before sewing/top-stitching.
