Nutmeg Trench and Jacket

TRENCH SEWING PATTERN AND JACKET OPTION

Our first trench sewing pattern and jacket is here! With Nutmeg, you can opt for the trench in a gentle A-shape and knee-length or for the jacket, laying just below your hips and offering a closer fit. Both versions come with optional front patch pockets with flaps and with in-seam pockets for the trench. The sleeves have a slight gather at the crown and a full gather at the bottom and you can finish them with a normal cuff or with a sleeve placket and a cute bow. The flat collar is easy to assemble and has an optional ruffle running along the outer curve. Also, the trench comes with a belt and belt loops and both versions feature a front button placket. Lastly, the seams are finished using bias binding.

Without a lining, Nutmeg is the best garment to wear in between season or to layer up all-year-around and a great first outwear project for a beginner. You can use many different fabrics to get a more structured feeling using canvas or oilskin or a more drapey feeling using tencel twill, for example.

With lots of detailed instructions, technical drawings and tips to get the best results, the Nutmeg Trench sewing pattern and Jacket will become a staple, with a twist, in your handmade wardrobe.

*On our website you can find other sewing patterns, tutorials and a blog packed with tips and all things sewing. We also have a YouTube channel where you can learn how to make some of the most difficult steps of Nutmeg and any of our other sewing patterns as well as hacks, fabric hauls and more.
