Burda Sewing Pattern 5656: two stylish parka versions

This versatile pattern lets you sew a women’s coat or sporty jacket in sizes 36 to 48. The first version has a comfortable, practical feel with a stand-up collar, concealed button fastening and large pockets – ideal if you want an easy-to-wear coat. The second version turns the classic anorak shape into a real couture-inspired statement, with plenty of room for creative touches such as fine snap fasteners. The medium difficulty level makes this a good choice if you have some sewing experience and want a project with a little more challenge.

Creative options for your own coat

You can really make this design your own. Try bold cotton prints for a striking look, or add decorative trims and tassels for a more refined finish. The finished coat works well with jeans and boots for a casual outfit, or layered over a dress for something smarter. Clear instructions help you work step by step towards a beautiful result you’ll be proud to wear.

Burda’s tip for Burda Sewing Pattern 5656:

📌 For a coat or jacket, the right fabric choice is key to the final fit and look. Choose a firm, non-stretch fabric such as cotton or a soft wool blend so the pockets and stand-up collar hold their shape well. Pay close attention to the grainline when cutting, especially if you are using a bold print, and consider adding a smooth lining fabric for extra comfort.
