Bog Jacket WITH Hood Expansion Sewing Pattern [low waste design for sizes 0-30] [paperless pattern]

[This is a digital PDF file.]

THIS INCLUDES BOTH THE BOG JACKET AND HOOD EXPANSION PACK. You can select from making the original Bog Jacket or make a hooded bog jacket using the included expansion pack instructions.

THIS PATTERN IS MOSTLY PAPERLESS. As a low waste design, based off the industry standard, a template is provided and intended to be drawn directly onto the fabric. NO PAPER PATTERN IS PROVIDED with exception to the neck opening and hood expansion pattern. If you are new to zero and waste sewing, this will be different than a typical paper sewing pattern. Instructions are provided and walk you through this process. Items you’ll need include a yard stick and fabric chalk or pen to transcribe the pattern onto the fabric. 

The modern BOG Jacket sewing pattern is inspired by the historical bronze age Bog Coat dating back 2000 years. Historically, the Bog Coat is constructed from a single piece of fabric and sewn together in a series of folds. This pattern is not meant to re-invent the Bog Coat, but to celebrate its simplicity of construction and provide modern garments based on the historical concept. 

The jacket is an unlined jacket that is both minimal in look and construction. The fit is oversized and boxy. This  booklet provides the basic jacket pattern block to inspire personal expression and variations. Some design alternatives are included but it’s encouraged to challenge your creativity to add personal details. The modern BOG Jacket is a minimal waste design. Some sizes will yield less waste than others. The overall goal of the design is to make a conscious effort to reduce fabric waste whenever possible. Some waste generated can be used for design details.

This booklet will provide instructions to select a design template and construct the garment.  All measurements on the template can easily be  modified and adjusted to fit each individual body.
