Suitable for knit or stretch fabric.
You will also need:
- Thread to match
- Optional cord for hood
A serger or overlocker is optional but not required.
- The lighter weight the fabric, the easier you will find it to manipulate and sew.
- The heavier the fabric, the more labor intensive the sew will be. Heavier fabric is generally thicker and harder to manipulate so it will take longer to press and pin. You also need to sew slower in order to not break your needles.
- For an advanced beginner or intermediate sewer, I would recommend any medium weight woven or denim.
- I would only recommend heavier weight fabrics and denims (ex. a traditional jean-weight denim such as 12-14 oz.) for more advanced sewers.
- Example - I made a long sleeve women's version for myself in a 14 oz. denim. It took me twice as long as a 2-3 years version I made for my daughter in a light weight cotton denim. My women's version was beautiful, I adore it, and it was worth every moment, but it was a labor of love for sure!
- Fastenings:
- Either 5/8 inch wide buttons or snaps.
- If using snaps, go for metal or heavy-duty snaps.
- You will need 5 for Dolls size, 5 for all Children's sizes, and 6 for all Women's sizes.
- Add 2 additional buttons/snaps if doing the long sleeve version.
- Add 2 additional buttons/snaps if doing the optional waistband tabs.
- Add 2 additional buttons/snaps if doing the Front Pockets.
- Optional single fold 1/2 inch wide bias tape - If you are using a regular sewing machine, the bell sleeve, trumpet sleeve, and underarm seam can all be finished with bias tape. You will need 1 yard for Doll size, 2 yards for Children's sizes, and 3 yards for all Women's sizes will be more than sufficient. You will not need this if you are using a serger. You can use store-bought tape or see the cutting section for notes on making your own.
- Optional lining fabric for Collar lining and for Side Seam Pockets. The Side Seam Pockets are completely optional and require a light weight woven (e.g. cotton). The Collar lining can be cut either from the same as your main fabric or from a lighter weight lining fabric such as cotton. A 1/4 yard length will be more than sufficient for both Pockets and Collar for all sizes.
- Optional Light Weight Interfacing - If you are going to embroider on the Collar Lining in Step 7, you may also wish to use interfacing on the back of your Collar Lining to give it strength. Prepare this during the Preparation Step.
- For Optional Hood:
- 1-2 yards of shoe string, cording, or other tie option for all sizes. Not recommended for 0-24 month sizes due to safety restrictions.
- Grommets can be used in place of buttonholes if desired.
- Thread to match. You may want to use specialty top stitching thread. This is usually a heavier weight and you may need more than you are used to as there is generally less on a spool. You will need 1 Spool for Doll size, 1-2 Spools for Children's sizes, and 2-3 Spools for Women's sizes.
- Sewing machine
- Scissors
- Pins or clips
- Tape measure or ruler
- Buttonhole Presser foot
- A hammer or mallet may also be helpful for attaching your buttons.
- If you are using heavy or denim fabric, you will also need a specialty needle (either a 'denim' needle or a heavy-duty needle such as the sizing '70/10 - 110/18'). Make sure you have several available. There is a lot of top stitching in this pattern and and if you are using denim or thicker fabric, it will blunt and be placed under pressure over the course of the sew. Sewing slowly over bulky sections will help reduce this, however, switching to a fresh needle part way through the sew can help make the sewing easier.
- If you are using heavy or denim fabric, you may also find using a 'clapper' helps. A tailor's clapper is a wooden tool which absorbs moisture from seams after pressing. It helps give a crisp edge and flattens seams too. When working with heavy fabrics such as traditional denim, this can help avoid broken needles and make sewing easier and more accurate.

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!!”

Rebecca Page has done it again! This denim jacket pattern made a daunting task easy to accomplish. The instructions are so well written and lots of pictures that I knew what to do the whole way through. A determined beginner would be able to successfully make this jacket. The finish looked professional.
