The Ottoline is a boxy workwear jacket with cuff and side seam splits and inside pocket. Although a lovely design detail the vents are a little tricky, so M&M have included instructions to simplify Ottoline by excluding the side seams and sleeve vents if you like.
M&M have found that a heavy duty thread (we love to use Mara 70 thread) rather than a standard topstitch thread gives a more authentic look and is easier to use. You may find you get a better stitch using a matching 'sew all' thread in the bobbin.
Sizes: 6-18, 18-28
Skill level - experienced, but not doing the slits on the hip or sleeves would make it a more intermediate level.
