Looking for a project that’s as joyful to sew as it is to wear? This version of the Hovea Quilted Jacket by Megan Nielsen is a relaxed, easy layering piece with a loose fit and soft drop shoulders, made using beautifully quilted double-sided cotton voile in two carefully chosen colourways. Each one has its own character, but all share that softly padded, lightly structured feel that makes this jacket such a pleasure to make and wear. The fabric is quilted with a softly stepped stitch, creating gentle texture and depth while remaining flexible and easy to sew.

The Hovea pattern itself includes a range of design options, making it a true wardrobe staple you can return to again and again. This kit includes enough fabric to create either View A, the mid-length jacket, or View E, the cropped version which Anna is wearing in the photos, both finished with a clean collar band and optional waist ties for a more defined silhouette.

The reversible nature of the fabric opens up all sorts of creative possibilities. You might choose to keep things simple and let one side shine, or introduce contrast through facings, ties or subtle details. However you approach it, the result feels considered, individual and entirely your own.

Designed as an unlined jacket, this kit introduces you to Hong Kong seams, a beautifully neat way to finish raw edges using bias binding. It’s a technique that gives the inside of your jacket a polished, professional finish and adds a skill to your sewing repertoire that you’ll use time and time again.

Best suited to intermediate makers, this is a deeply satisfying project that brings together thoughtful construction and creative choice, resulting in a jacket you’ll be proud to wear for years to come.
