Made a muslin out of a fleece blanket. Found the in-seam pockets far too far back – you really have to pull the whole frnt forward in order to get your hands in – and the arm cuffs too narrow (and I don’t think I have particularly fat arms!). Would make it again in a heavier fabric but put the pockets in the front band seam instead and increase the width of the cuffs by a good 2 or 3″.

A very easy jacket to sew. I used a Medium weight double knit, the jacket drapes beautifully and is very flattering to wear.
I love this pattern.

Made from a woven wool cashmere. Worked really well, interesting structure and a quick sew. Great pattern.

I’m wearing the jacket today with a wide leg pant and the Evie top.
The jacket took a bit of concentration to put together. Once I figured it out is became very intuitive. I don’t use social media, but I can send photos.

Very flattering shape and very easy to put together. It was my first project with heavier wool fabric and I didn´t struggle at all. I went down a size after reading the final garment measurements, so I appreciate they send multiple size PDFs. It´s still quite roomy everywhere but the sleeves. I used a wool fabric with no stretch and quite like the structured final look. I plan to sew it with a medium weight knit fabric next, which I´ve seen online looks more like a cardigan than a coat.

This was the first Style Arc pattern I made, and I really love it. I found it runs big. I made size 10, per size chart, but I used a chunky wool fabric and I had to take a bigger seam allowance to make sure the fabric is caught in the serger seam, so I think it ended up a size smaller. It fits great, so I just know to make size 8 for the future. The pattern is great, and I love how it looks on me.

Love the look. I made it with a real drapery, but not real stretchy woven rayon. A little bit of a mistake. There was too much on the sides for me, and ended up serging out an inch and a half, including the pockets, tapering to the sleeve. I saved it, and I’ll wear it again, but I won’t make it again unless I follow the pattern with a knit.

I love this pattern. I have made it in so many combinations. I even put fancy silver zippers in the pleat of the pants. So comfortable.

How Do I Know What Size I Am?
Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.
When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:
A. Shoulder Breadth
Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.
B. Upper Arm Girth
This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.
C. Bust
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.
D. Waist
This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.
E. Hip
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
