From Fibre Mood:
Every season should start with a new jacket. This short oversized jacket with collar and lapels requires some perseverance, but it pays off beautifully in the end. The slash pockets and double-breasted front only add to Adria’s allure. And the tabs at the sleeve hems and decorative topstitching make this pattern look extra on point. Plus, twinning is winning! Have a child in your life? Then make Reese as well for a match made in heaven.
Did you know that the undercollar of a coat or jacket is often cut on the bias? This has a very specific reason: The undercollar is smaller than the upper collar. By rotating the grainline 90° and cutting it on the bias, the undercollar becomes more elastic. This prevents it from peeking out on the right side of the collar.
Do you have Fibre Mood edition 21 in your house? And are you planning to make the Adria coat? Be sure to cut pattern piece 6 on the bias. Unfortunately on the pattern sheet for Adria in the printed magazine, pattern piece 6 (undercollar) is printed on the grain - the pattern piece itself (the shape, notches and sizing) is correct! We are very sorry for the inconvenience. You can download the pattern piece 6 with the rotated grain line here.
Recommended Fabrics: Adria can be made in all kinds of different fabrics, whether in a print or a classic solid. Some options include woven jacquard, felt, flannel, bouclé, boiled wool, padded fabrics and... even denim!
