How It’s Made

The Tallulah Jacket is worked in one piece from the top down, beginning with the yoke and skirt. Once these sections are complete, the sleeves are stitched directly onto the jacket, followed by the decorative lace collar.

The textured lemon peel stitch creates a beautiful, classic fabric, while colour-coded sizing and stitch counts help you stay on track as you work.

Extensive video tutorials are included for all major stages, making this pattern accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of skill levels.
