   What a great jacket to sew! I have made 2 Loren jackets and receive compliments every time I wear them.

   I love this pattern. True to size, relatively easy to sew. The neckline is a bit tricky and I’m not sure I made it as it was suppose to but it turned about pretty good in the end.

   I bought the Loren Jacket pattern because of the Style Arc autumn capsule plans. It was my first Style Arc pattern that I sewed up and was really pleased with the results. I did feel like there were too many markings on the individual pattern pieces but I used YouTube video sewing tutorials to help me understand the instructions. However, I re-read the instructions after completing my first wearable muslin. Then I realized that the instructions were simple and straight-forward to understand. Sometimes you just have to ignore the hype. If you understand garment construction and have previously made shawl collars, then you will understand how to sew this collar. If not, there are online sewing tutorials. I made my first version – a wearable muslin – out of an orangey-yellow French terry knit. I finished all the seams with bias binding because this material frayed a lot. I am making another 2 versions – one mustard and one bright red – out of wool blend coating fabrics. For these versions, I will be adding a lining and plan to cut the back piece twice so that I can create some back shaping along the centre back seam. I have a full bottom so the back shaping will help smooth the fabric over my bum. I feel like I will be making this jacket on repeat. I love it!

   The pattern was great easy to use as I have been sewing for along time, silly me used a plaid pattern but the coat pattern was simple enough to match up lines so everything matches up, unlike some coats in shops that are terribly wonky. Easy to wear and people complement on my fabulous coat.

   The Loren jacket went together with no problem. I watched a YouTube video which helped me. I made it in a wool mix and it looks fabulous. I’m so pleased with it. The next one is already planned.

   Love the final result but the instructions were lacking clarity and images.

   I love this pattern! I wear a lot of cardigans, but I wanted something a little more sophisticated when the occasion calls for it. This is perfect. I love some of the options – line or don’t line, cuff it or leave the sleeve hem plain….
   I am never disappointed by Style Arc patterns.

    Simple shape with nice collar. I made it in an unlined brushed ponte and inseam pockets. I topstitched the pocket bags to the front and did the same to the facing to hold everything in place. I will make this again, maybe sleeveless as a change.

    So far it’s been very easy to put together. I’m in the middle of making this at the moment and about to add a lining.

    Jacket turned out well in the end but did find the instructions a little hard to follow. Easy transaction and download and appreciated getting a size either side of my chosen size.

    I made this jacket in a glitzy fabric suitable for evening wear. I lined it as the fabric needed to be lined, I was very happy with the pattern, it went together very well. I had some difficulty with the hems as I hadn’t done this type of garment with lining for a long time, however I eventually found instructions on Y Tube which helped.
    An excellent pattern which I will probably use again.

    This is an easy sew. I made this jacket for my daughter from Sherpa faux fur and turned out great, she is very happy with it. The only drawback is limited instructions so if you were a beginner it might be confusing.

    This jacket went together very quickly, a satisfying sew. I made it in a soft, thick fabric and found that using a clapper when pressing made the shawl collar lie perfectly. I lined the sleeves. I’m very likely to use the pattern again and will probably use inseam pockets next time, just for variety.

    I made the Loren Jacket in a wool and was so please how it turned out and how easy the pattern was to follow. I am sure that I will use it many more times in different fabrics.

    Great pattern – very versatile.
    I made my first one using pointe and it went together beautifully.
    I plan to make another in wool and add lining.

    I have made three of these now. Still not happy with the shawl collar but you can’t see the issue. This is a boxy easy to sew pattern and easy to make changes. The third one I made has no collar and was made with a fabric that I made from pinwheel quilt blocks. It is lined with a cozy bambpo quilt natting, quilted, then fully lined. I would love to figure out how to down load pictures. This is a good pattern

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
