NIETOS is the ultimate coat to keep you warm in the winter months or provide protection during the transitional seasons. This versatile pattern offers two variations to choose from.

The long coat version features quilted padding for maximum warmth and is ideal for advanced sewists. With side slits, an inside pocket, front zipper, press studs, elasticated sleeves, and a protective hood, this coat will keep you cosy from neck to toe. The drawstring at the waist allows you to adjust the fit to accommodate the layers you want to wear underneath.

For the quilt batting coat version, you’ll need a main fabric, lining, and batting fabric. Choose medium to heavy-weight materials like cotton canvas for the main fabric, 5.3–7.5oz/180–250 gsm batting (preferably natural fibres such as wool, cotton, or bamboo, or recycled polyester), and batiste or other breathable yet durable fabrics for the lining. For the unlined jacket version, choose heavyweight fabrics with non-toxic waterproof treatments. Feel free to experiment with wool, plush fabrics, or twill for added texture and style.

Winter Wonder Hood can be made in a multitude of ways, so have fun with it! Many variations can be achieved by using different fabrics, affecting the size of the face opening. For versions made with woven fabrics, choose a larger opening than for versions made with knitted fabric. Adjust the width and length of the neckband to change the look and feel. Or leave off the neckband and just hem the bottom to create a cute little hood! You can add a pom-pom to the top for a bit of fun, or leave the hood unadorned for a more practical look.

A quilted cotton works well to give the hood a bit more structure. Use wool coating for a warm, woolly, non-stretch version. Alternatively, you could use a waxed canvas lined with flannel for a rainy-day option, or even make a lightweight cotton version.You could also use a fluffy sweatshirt fleece for a stretchy, cosy option.

In addition to the main fabric, you’ll need a ribbed or knitted fabric with at least 25% stretch for the neck ribbing and face opening ribbing. For the quilted version, you’ll need batting, preferably natural fibres such as wool, cotton, or bamboo, or polyester batting made from recycled materials.

The MOVEMENT jacket is a captivating blend of style and activism. This cropped statement piece features tapered raglan sleeves, a peplum option, and a protest patch on the back.

LILLY is a sleeveless A-line dress that is perfect both for warm summer days or worn layered with a fitted top, tights, and boots in the colder months. It has a notched collar and is closed with buttons at the front. The dress has bust darts for a better fit and a yoke at the back, which provides perfect seams if you need to make adjustments for a rounded back, for example.

Choose a lightweight woven fabric such as poplin, Tencel, muslin, linen, viscose, silk, or thin wool. The drape of the fabric will give your garment a very different look. A more structured fabric, such as poplin or linen, will create a clear A-line shape whereas a drapey viscose will fall straight down.
