No. 01Jacket · Unisex
Original Fleece Jacket
A continuous-body fleece jacket with a soft stand collar — the quickest sew in the library and our most requested pattern.
A Massachusetts nonprofit
Princess Peacoat gives families free children's coat and jacket sewing patterns — and connects gently used clothing with community drop-off partners across the Commonwealth.
Our mission
A coat is a small thing.
Warmth is not.
Princess Peacoat is a 100% Massachusetts-based nonprofit focused on helping the citizens of the Commonwealth. Founded and run by a high school senior, our goal is to help neighbors who are struggling with the effects of our current economy.
With inflation, tariffs, and cuts to government aid, we call on communities to come together — by providing sewing patterns for children's attire and drop-off locations for donations. I believe Massachusetts can overcome our current crises hand in hand.
