October Contest: Coats and Jackets!

October 15, 2026

For 50 years, you’ve been stitching up our patterns, and we’ve loved seeing what you make. To celebrate, we’re hosting another contest this month focusing on coats and jackets, and we want you to join in!

What We’re Looking For

Coats and jackets sewn from any of our patterns, from any of our 50 years. Whether it’s a classic you made last month or a favorite you finished a decade ago, it counts. Past projects are welcome, so dig through your closet and your photo albums.

How to Enter

It’s easy. All you need is one photo of your finished coat or jacket. Send it to us by November 1 at info@folkwear.com. Please include your name and the pattern you used.

What You Get

Everyone who enters receives a coupon code to use in our shop, our thank-you for sharing your work with us.

We’ll also choose 3 winners! Two will be staff picks and one will be a randomly drawn winner. Winners will be announced the first week of November, and will receive a $40 gift card to Folkwear.

Also! Don’t Miss Our Coat and Jacket Pattern Sale!

At the end of this month, we’re holding our annual coat and jacket pattern sale. If this contest inspires you to start something new, or you’ve been eyeing a pattern for a while, this is your chance to stock up. Watch your inbox and our shop for details.  You can see all our jacket and coat patterns here.

Ready to Join In?

Grab your photo, send it our way, and show us what you’ve made. We love celebrating 50 years of sewing with you!
