Wonderful makes from the month of October

This month has been such a blur as we've been back-to-back filming workshops but we're so thrilled to have launched our latest Darcy Coat Workshop and the Art of Outerwear in time for your end of year projects. There isn't a better, more cosy time to focus on slow sewing in the comfort of your home. But now it's time to share the brilliant makes that have been shared with us over the last month!

We hope these makes have inspired you to make your own Modern Sewing Co. piece. Recently, we've had a couple questions about the Art of Outerwear so we'd be keen to share...
1 - What does the Art of Outerwear include?
The Darcy Coat workshop + PDF pattern
The Naomi Blazer workshop + PDF pattern
The Potters Jacket PDF Pattern
Upper body fitting guide, extra photo guides and resources
The total is worth £135 but the Art of Outerwear is £110 (so the Potters Jacket pattern is essentially free plus an extra discount!).
2 - What if I already have a workshop or pattern that's included?
If you already have the Naomi Blazer workshop + pattern, you can upgrade using the code UPGRADE (valid until 9th November - make sure to sign into your account first before applying the code.) If you already have one of the patterns, we can swap in another patter; please reply to your receipt email with your choice.
3 - Is this suitable for beginners?
The Art of Outerwear covers our more complex and challenging patterns, so we would recommend this to intermediate sewists. If you've already done one of our workshops before, like the Art of Shirt Making, you will be very well prepared to tackle outerwear.
