How to make the Loren Jacket | Style Arc Sew-along

Today we are going to sew the Loren Jacket from Style Arc. Makers this pattern is rated medium, but we feel that if you are looking to improve on your sewing skills you should give this pattern a go. It is a three-quarter length unlined jacket with a shawl collar and two pocket options. You can do a patch pocket, or you can do an inseam pocket.
It’s perfect if you are looking to test out your hacking skills by creating a lining for it, or even putting in a welt pocket in lieu of the other options included. As with most Style Arc patterns it is up to you to finish the seam allowance. We recommend two different options, you can slipstitch the seam allowances and facing for a finished and understated look or you can have a little fun by binding the seam allowances with bias tape for a Hong Kong finish.

Thanks a million! I've had this pattern for years but was too scared to start because of the very minimal instructions on the pattern itself. I'm excited!

You are so welcome!

Very thorough and such a lovely professional result. Thanks so much 😅

Loved this video and pattern

Thank you so much for this indepth tutorial. The best tutorial I have seen for any garment. It follows the process every step of the way and leaves nothing out. I hadn't encountered this pattern before but it is now on my shopping list.

We are so glad you found it helpful! It's a lovely pattern to sew

Thanks Minerva for the free sew-along!

Beautiful jacket, Alex! The style and color are a perfect marriage. Thank you for sharing this beauty😊

[@nadinamedlin3432]

I loved this sew along! I've been looking hard at how to construct a shawl collar. To put it mildly, I'm very intimidated by Style Arc patterns. This video made it feel much more accessible!

Glad it was helpful!

Looks great. Love the fabric & choice of colour too. Great tutorial 👍🏻🤩

[@debraeverett5557]

It turned out beautifully.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Minerva, I am new to your site, and happy to follow along creating the Loren jacket. Question: My patch pocket pattern piece does not have the deep top fold that yours does. I guess I can fold it over deeper like yours, so I can turn it and trim the sides. Please advise! Thank--you, Rita

Two questions: is the boucle washable? are there Minerva instructions for constructing a lining for a pattern that doesn't have a lining pattern?
