Closet Core Phoebe Jacket Pattern

Modern yet timeless, Phoebe is a double-breasted coat with a cocoon shape. Fully lined, it features a dramatic notched collar and lapel that can also be worn closed to stop drafts.

The dropped shoulder, roomy two-piece sleeve, and oversized fit make this coat ideal for layering over bulky winter layers.

Destined to keep you warm on the coldest of days, this pattern is a great introduction to sewing tailored garments.

View A is below-knee length with large patch pockets. View B ends at mid-thigh with inseam pockets.
