Description:

This is a casual soft cotton canvas from India in a mid blue with a hint of grey and a chalky matte finish. This fabric is not pre washed, always pre wash your fabric to get rid of any shrinkage (see below). The fabric will soften after being washed.

We’ve called this a soft canvas as although it has a canvas appearance it isn’t ideal for garments that need lots of structure. If you choose to make something like the Ottoline or Foreman it will be a lightweight jacket, more of a ‘shacket’. Same with trousers, we would pick something like the 101’s that have a some gathers over the Eve’s which are more suited to structured cloth. This cloth would also make a great All State or Arbor shirt, or something like the Cawley or Etta dress. You could also use it for bag linings or cushion covers. The image of the jacket is a pattern hack we did for our Foreman jacket, click resources to read about this.

The Foreman Hack
The Foreman Hack

This is a hack for making our men’s pattern, the Foreman, a neater fit for a woman. The jacket and sleeves are shortened and it is taken down a grade at the shoulder. To work out which size to make, we would suggest looking at the finished chest measurement ad either compare this with a jacket you like the fit of, or use a tape measure around your bust to check size/ease.

We shortened the jacket by 15cm for this hack. For a shortened version, the fabric requirements remain the same as the original, except for 110 wide sizes 42-46, 140 wide 36-40, 150 wide 36-44, which can be reduced by 30cm.

Our model is a size 10, 5.6, and is wearing a 38 (which has been graded to a 36 at the shoulder). The jacket is made out of our Soft Cotton Canvas in Sizzle. 

The Foreman pattern can be found here.
