Customer Questions and Answers
Hi, Could it be used to make a dress shirt? What adjustments do you think I should make, besides eliminating the back pleat? Thanks
F|S Team
If you'd like, we have quite a few shirt patterns on our site which may suit and help you avoid needing to adjust this patterns. See Noa, Mykonos, Zina or even Paola patterns.
For the Mara — Painter Coat what weight of linen would you suggest?
F|S Team
We love our heavyweight linens for this coat. Try looking for 4C22 and IL090 on the site to see which one strikes your fancy.
What is A4 paper? Thanks for the freebie also!
F|S Team
Our pleasure! A4 paper is a paper size similar to US letter. You can print this pattern on US Letter or A4 :)
Is there a way to have this in the format for a print shop? Thanks, KW
F|S Team
Hello, In order to offer so many patterns for free we only offer them in this format.
I'd like to see a line drawing of this pattern before I commit to it. Where can I find that?
F|S Team
Hello, this pattern is a free download, so you can find everything you need in the downloadable pattern booklet.
What are the fabric requirements. It says on the blog that it is provided on the pattern, but not that I see.
F|S Team
Hello, We recommend 4 yards for all sizes. This information is located in the downloaded file on page 4, with the size guide :)
Do I need to buy special A4 size paper or can I print it on regular letter size, 8.5 x 11" paper?
F|S Team
You can print our pattern on A4 or Letter sized paper :)
Does Fabrics-store sell a hard copy of this pattern? Thank you!
F|S Team
Sorry, we only have this available digitally as a free pattern.
Fabulous pattern! Is there a A0 printable pdf please? Many thanks.
F|S Team
Hello, At this time, we don't offer A0 pattern formats. Thanks for your question :)
Wondering if I could make this jacket in the heavy weight instead of canvas? Want to make it in black and don't see many color options in canvas. Thanks!
F|S Team
Yes! This pattern also works well in our heavyweight fabrics like 4C22.
Hello, where can I find the size and pattern guide? Thanks.
F|S Team
Hello, We have updated the pattern booklet to include this information. Simply re-download and you will have a copy :)
Great Jacket Pattern
Another great free pattern from F-S. Instructions are good. Fit is spot on. Very pleased.
A good pattern for a summers coat. Finished the seams with bias binding and it's cute inside out,
This is my Mara muslin made from a thrift store sheet. I went ahead and finished it as I think it will make a good spring coat. Pattern instructions are easy to follow (see The Thread tutorial).
Your jacket is beautiful, Lyn! Love that you thrifted a sheet - I would never guess that this was a sheet!
Made the Mara in 4C22 Reed - shortened the length. French seams throughout. First time sewing with the heavier weight linen. I really like it for jackets. Need more color options!
