What Makes the Harper Everyday Jacket a Must-Sew?
Two Jacket Length Options - Choose the silhouette that best suits your style. The cropped length hits between the waist and high hip for a modern, fashion-forward look that pairs beautifully with high-waisted jeans or skirts. The high hip length provides slightly more coverage and creates a classic everyday jacket you’ll wear season after season.
Two Neckline Styles - Customize your jacket with a crew neckline for a clean, minimal look, or choose the scoop neckline for a softer, more relaxed shape that frames the face beautifully.
Professional Finishes - Harper is designed with thoughtful details that give your handmade jacket a polished result. Flat-felled seams and clean facings provide a neat interior finish, while hemmed sleeves and sleeves with cuffs create a crisp, tailored look. The front zipper keeps the jacket practical and easy to wear.
Optional Back Seam for Fit Adjustments - The optional center back seam not only adds shaping but also makes it easier to perform a swayback adjustment, helping you achieve a better fit through the back if needed.
Optional Patch Pockets - Add functional style with patch pockets in multiple sizes. Place them on the chest for a modern utility look or on the waist for classic everyday functionality.
Designed for Woven Fabrics - Harper is designed specifically for woven fabrics and works beautifully with medium to heavyweight materials such as: Jacquard, Cashmere, Wool and wool blends, Tweed, Faux leather, Suede, Mohair, Corduroy, Velveteen
These fabrics give the jacket structure, warmth, and texture: perfect for transitional weather and layering.
Flexible Files for Every Setup - Your pattern includes layered PDFs in Letter, A4, A0, and projector formats, so you can print and prep your pattern in the way that works best for your sewing space.
Guided Every Step of the Way - with full photo instructions and a step-by-step video sew-along, you’ll feel supported from first cut to final stitch.
Timeless, versatile, and packed with customization options, the Harper Everyday Jacket is the perfect pattern for sewists who love practical pieces with polished style.

I absolutely love this jacket! The instructions were very easy to follow. I used a pearl studded tweed fabric to make the cropped length version. I decided to add a lining to my jacket. I have received so many compliments. I will definitely be making this again in different fabrics.
Oh wow, a pearl-studded tweed version sounds absolutely stunning! 😍 You have incredible taste—that looks like a high-end boutique piece!
Adding a lining to a cropped jacket is such a brilliant, professional finish, and I am not at all surprised that you are swimming in compliments. You truly made this pattern your own, and that is the absolute best part of sewing.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review and for sharing your creativity with us. I cannot wait to see your next versions in different fabrics—please be sure to share photos in our community group so we can all swoon over them! Happy sewing!
I love my Harper jacket, it's quick to make and versatile 😍
I can wear it in all seasons. I wore it under a coat in the winter, I wear it instead of a transitional coat in the spring and fall, and it will also serve well on summer evenings when it's a little cooler.
Jackets can be intimidating but this worked great! I get so many compliments every time I wear this jacket!
I can’t believe how quickly this jacket came together. It looks really tricky but was easier than I’d expected and I’m so pleased with the result. Have worn this so much.
Lovely single layer jacket. With loads of instructions for a neat finish on the inside. Like a French seam or a flat felled seam. Perfect to pick up a few new techniques!
Love this jacket
It fits almost perfect, just a little adjustment needed
As usual, per this company, the instructions were easy to follow. I was excited to complete the french and felled seams, something that seemed so intimidating and that I would not have attempted without guidance. The fit was good except for the arms which were comically long. This most likely was user error as I was confused by the different lines on the sleeve pattern. I shortened them and now have a great looking jacet made by me!
