The Francesca Coat is a wonderfully versatile layering piece that combines effortless style with everyday practicality. Designed as an unlined coat or jacket, it features a modern dropped shoulder, generous patch pockets and a simple open-front silhouette that works beautifully across seasons. The collarless design creates a clean, contemporary look, making Francesca a timeless addition to any handmade wardrobe.
Available in a range of lengths and sleeve options, Francesca can be adapted to suit your style and the seasons. Sew a lightweight linen version for warmer weather, choose a soft denim or cotton for everyday wear, or create a cosy winter layer in boiled wool, melton or tweed. Its relaxed fit and simple construction make it a versatile garment that you'll find yourself reaching for again and again.
Ciao Patterns are designed with clarity in mind. Each size is colour coded for easy tracing, while unique line styles ensure sizes remain easy to distinguish when printed in black and white.
