The Landgate Jacket - Merchant & Mills

This jacket is made for the outdoors! Big pockets for dog walking, a large hood for windy coastal walks, and roomy to fit a cozy jumper underneath! It features a drawstring waist (optional), side and front pockets and a funnel neck with zip fastening.

The Landgate requires a fair amount of top stitching and accuracy so we recommend you have completed some intermediate dressmaking projects first. This is also an ideal make to gift someone as a present.

Level – Advanced

We recommend using oilskin (waxed canvas) or dry oilskin, but you could also use a cotton canvas or denim.

Please note this is a unisex pattern.

We will cover the following:

• How to follow a paper pattern, learning about the pattern markings and what they mean.
• Following a lay plan and cutting out your fabric correctly.
• Learning the art of pairing fabric and pattern.
• Measuring yourself and selecting the correct size ( we will have samples to try on).
• Inserting a zip.
• Working with heavier weight fabrics like oilskin, denim or canvas.
• Making buttonholes.
• Accurate and confident top stitching.
• Inserting a casing.
