The Falda jacket is all about the sleeves. Those sleeves! Developed using a combination of draping and flat paper pattern making, the Falda Jacket is a nod to the classic Chanel tweed with the sensibility of a bomber jacket and the humour and volume of a Victorian era sleeve.

You can choose from two styles to sew Falda, depending on your fabric weight choice. A jacket weight cotton with patch pockets for the transitional seasons or a fulling lined wool coating version with welt pockets for winter warmth.

Difficulty: Intermediate/advanced

Sizes: 6-16 included (see below for measurements). It might look complicated, but this pattern is easy to lengthen the sleeves and body length.
