McCall's Sewing pattern 7986 XM

McCall's Sewing pattern 7986 XM is a versatile dressmaking pattern for a loose-fitting jacket or coat, designed for both men and women. With this pattern, you can create a practical outer layer with a relaxed shape and a clean, modern finish. Choose between a self-lined collar or a contrast-lined hood, depending on the look you want to achieve. The design also includes options for an exposed zip, different pocket styles and sleeve variations, so you can make the garment your own. A stitched hem or elastic casing adds further flexibility to the finish. This is a medium-difficulty sewing pattern, making it a rewarding project if you have a little experience. It gives you room to work with the details while still keeping the construction manageable. The pattern includes seam allowance of 1.5 cm unless otherwise stated, so you do not need to add it separately in most places. It comes in sizes 34 to 44 and is supplied in an envelope. If you are looking for a sewing pattern for a jacket or coat with plenty of choice and a practical result, this McCall's design is a strong option. Pair it with suitable fabric by the metre for the style and function you want, from lighter outerwear fabrics to warmer, more structured dressmaking fabric.
