Skill Level – Advanced beginner upwards
Options – You can either use a serger for a quick finish, or there are instructions for an all traditional denim jacket finish with hidden seams on a sewing machine.
Sizes – Children’s sizes newborn to 12 years, Ladies’ XXS to 5XL and 18-inch doll
Fabrics – Denim for the body of the jacket is most suitable. However, any medium weight woven fabric will work, and many heavier weight woven fabrics will work too. Great options are: denim, stretch denim, bull denim, low-pile corduroy, cotton canvas, twill, or even an old pair of jeans up-cycled. The sleeves, hood and waistband for this add-on all need to be in a knit or stretch fabric. Serger/overlocker optional but NOT required.
Format – This trim-free pattern is a downloadable PDF and comes in A4 or US letter printable sizes. An A0 format (pattern pieces only) is also included should you wish to have your pattern printed professionally. PDF Layers allow you to select and print only the size/s you want.

The Kingston Add-on’s were a great addition to an already fabulous pattern! The finished items are comfortable and look fantastic. The instructions are very detailed and easy to follow, so this made for a rewarding sew with very happy customers (my children) at the end!

This was my First Time Sewing The Kingston Jacket I was Very tempted to Overlock the seams but instead went for the Recommended Flat Felled Seams, This is a must to me the seams once i had got my head around them are so easy to do and they look really smart finished.

This pattern was surprisingly manageable! I opted to sew the knit sleeves and hood with the side pockets. My 8 year old loves it and asked to wear it to school tomorrow. A huge win for this Mama sewist.

I made a jacket and so can you! The Kingston Jacket with Add On Knit Sleeve. Rebecca Page Patterns are so well written with great pictures and tutorials. There are many options with this jacket.

The KIngston jacket has been my most rewarding sew to-date so I was excited to see this add-on! It has many possibilities for changing the look of the jacket with the variety of pockets and the hood and sleeve options. I did a knit sleeve and hood and can absolutely see doing another one for my daughter! Great addition to an already awesome pattern!

I have been eyeballing this pattern since it was released! I’ve had something in my head to sew like this for my girls for QUITE some time, so this just made the perfect Christmas surprise for my daughter! I was a little intimidated, but the pattern is so well written, it really wasn’t as daunting as it seemed! I was super excited to learn some new sewing skills with this: the welted pocket – that just gave it such a smooth, professional-looking pocket, and it’s actually usable!; and then the cuffs – I’ve never made cuffs before, but they weren’t as difficult as I thought either!
I’m just over the moon with how well this pattern came together and the end results are just so sleek and fabulous! I can’t wait to make one for each of my girls and I think I’m going to HAVE to make myself one as well! Do yourself a favor and purchase this one! You definitely WON’T be disappointed!!”

Great pattern with great instructions. The finish of this jacket looks really professional. And I love the Hood Add-on, it was perfect for my 5 year old boy.
