Pattern - Sew Liberated - Lichen Duster

Skill Level: Confident Beginner to Intermediate
Sizes Included: 0–30 (all sizes included)

Wrap yourself in ease and elegance with the Lichen Duster—a timeless layering piece that works beautifully as a lightweight coat, robe, or wrap dress. This versatile silhouette is perfect for building a capsule wardrobe, whether you're dressing up or winding down.

Designed with thoughtful heirloom details like a shawl collar, princess seams, hand-stitched facings, and four skirt gores, the Lichen Duster is as fun to sew as it is to wear. Choose between a sweeping high-low hem or a straight hem to suit your style. The included fabric belt lets you cinch the waist, or you can pair it with your favorite belt for a fresh look.

Layer it over dresses, jumpsuits, jeans, or pajamas—it’s stunning in midweight linen, yarn-dyed cotton, or even velvet for a dressier feel. The pattern is unlined, with interior facings finished in the same fabric for a clean and simple construction.
