Sylvan Jacket sewing pattern

We recommend a medium- to heavy-weight woven fabric that has no stretch. The drape or hand of the fabric will impact the look of the final garment — softer fabrics will fall more gently, and more stable fabrics like canvas will emphasize the utility look. Some wonderful choices are canvas, denim, and twill. Lighter fabrics will produce an almost overshirt-like feel, while heavier fabrics will enhance the jacket’s outerwear vibe. Recommended fabrics are opaque, and range in weight from 7 oz to 12 oz (240 – 400 GSM). Lining may be added in the form of underlining. Choose a fabric that is not too bulky, and that will slide with ease over the layers that you wear underneath. Excellent options are cotton lawn, a stable cotton like shirting, rayon challis, and even quilting cotton. You could line the Sylvan jacket with flannel, but be aware that it doesn’t slide over sleeves very easily! A bulky or quilted lining is not recommended.
