From Merchant & Mills:
The Ottoline is a boxy workwear jacket with cuff and side seam splits and inside pocket. Although a lovely design detail the vents are a little tricky, so we have included instructions to simplify Ottoline by excluding the side seams and sleeve vents if you like.
We have found that a heavy duty thread rather than a topstitch thread gives a more authentic look to the topstitching and is easier to use. You may find you get a better stitch using a matching 'sew all' thread in the bobbin.
Recommended Fabrics: We recommend using 8 – 12.5 oz non-stretch denim, medium weight cotton drill or canvas, dry oilskin, linen and corduroy.
Difficulty: This is an experienced level pattern, but not doing the slits on the hip or sleeves would make it a more intermediate level.
Sizes: UK 18-28 (for sizes UK 6-18, click here)
Bust/chest 112 cm/44" - 143 cm/56.25"*If you are a curvy size 18, we would recommend selecting the UK 18-28 size range.
