Let's agree that transitional jackets are an absolute must-have in your wardrobe. For the changing seasons, a transitional jacket is a practical and functional piece that not only protects you from the weather but can also be part of a stylish outfit.
The jacket should keep you warm and protect you from the elements. And of course, it should have a great design that suits your personal style.
On this page, we help you get started sewing a transitional jacket. We show you the best fabrics and patterns and of course have plenty of inspiration for you.
The purpose of a transitional jacket is to make the transition from winter to spring and summer to fall much easier. When it's not yet warm enough to go without a jacket - or too warm for a winter jacket - it's ideal to complement your outfit with a stylish transitional jacket.
Use your transitional jacket as often as you like, and if the winter is mild, you may not need to invest in an expensive winter jacket, but can make do with the transitional jacket.
Sewing your own jacket allows you to choose the fabrics, colors and designs that suit your personal style. You can make a unique jacket that stands out from the crowd and expresses your own creativity.
You can add pockets, adjust the sleeve length and choose a smart zipper in the variant that suits your style.
We have many different fabrics suitable for transitional jackets. Below you can see which ones and why they are our favorites.
Quilt
Our ribstop quilt is windproof and waterproof with a water column pressure of 5,000 mm. This makes this quilt perfect for the outdoors.
Quilt is a lightweight and comfortable material that gives you many options for designing your new outdoor outfit. It comes in a variety of colors so you can choose your own personal look.
Teddy
Teddy is a soft and fluffy fabric that is perfect for transitional jackets. The soft layer is heat-insulating and there's a bit of stretch in the fabric, making it incredibly comfortable and easy to move around in.,
We have many beautiful colors, each with its own unique look and feel.
Upholstery teddy
Upholstery teddy is soft and fluffy, just like regular teddy, and makes a great addition to a transitional jacket. In addition, this fabric has a very high abrasion resistance. So not only can you create a great-looking jacket, you'll also enjoy it for a very long time.
Fur
Faux fur is popular in the fashion industry and adds an exclusive look to your transitional jacket. The soft fur is great for creating cool details and contrasts with other fabrics and sewing accessories.
Wool
Wool gives a classic and timeless look. The material is durable and has a water-repellent effect. In addition, wool has a natural insulating ability that can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.
Fusable batting
Our fusable batting is suitable for outerwear. It gives a more puffy look to your jacket and also adds a bit of insulation. We recommend doubling it up for extra insulation and bulkiness.

Looking for a great lining that insulates well and keeps you warm? Meida Alum insulating lining is a great choice!
Lightweight and soft, this liner is made of antibacterial polyester, which is covered with aluminum-coated polyethylene film on one side and white cotton wool on the other.
It's the aluminum coating that protects the liner from heat and cold - and the liner is also breathable and does not retain moisture.
