From the Envelope Back
Even if you don’t live in Siberia, there probably are times when you long to climb inside a warm, cozy coat. This extra-roomy, easy-to-sew Parka pulls on easily over your head when the cold winds start to blow. Based on a smock worn by men in western Siberia, we’ve added pockets to keep your hands toasty, too. This type of Parka would traditionally be made of tanned leather, but you can make it of any outerwear fabric, from serious wool to up-to-date polar fleece. And, made of sweatshirt fleece, it’s the perfect cover-up for those chilly nights at the beach.
Pattern Specifics
Folkwear 153 includes the full-size pattern pieces, and instructions for making the Siberian Parka. Enlarge the photo for a better look at the details. Let me know if you’d like to see the envelope back. This is sized for adults XS-S-M-L-XL (31-1/2 to 44″ chest). The envelope measures 11-1/2″ x 9″. The instructions are printed on bond paper; the pattern pieces are on tissue/vellum.
Condition
See photo. The envelope is in very good condition for age (1994) with some lighter storage, particularly on the corners, as would be expected. The pattern and instruction sheets are as new in original factory folds. No names or other markings. From clean, smoke-free home.
Shipping
Generally sent the same day you pay. Unless you request otherwise, I will back this with one piece of box cardboard (to help prevent the Post Office from bending it), wrap it in plastic wrap (to help protect the item from moisture or torn packaging), then send inside a manila envelope when sent via First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation. This is the cheapest postage option that includes both item protection and tracking. See the shipping page to give you an estimate on the cost of a First Class 2 package. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
