SIZING

RECOMMENDED FABRIC

Main fabric for woven blazer: Mid- to heavy-weight wovens, such as suiting or tweed, made from wool, linen, or wool blends. Lightweight coating also suitable. Avoid fabrics with a very smooth surface like gabardine, as they will likely shine when pressed.

Main fabric for stretch blazer: Mid- to heavy-weight knit fabric such as stable ponte, or mid-weight stretch wovens such as stretch suiting.

Body lining: If using a non-stretch woven, use a light- weight woven lining such as rayon bemberg or crepe de chine. If using a stretch woven or ponte, use a knit lining for the body, such as ITY or other slick jersey.

Sleeve lining: Light-weight woven lining such as rayon bemberg or or crepe de chine, for both stretch & non-stretch blazers.

Pocket lining: Stable woven such as quilting cotton or shirting.

Interfacing: Mid-weight weft fusible interfacing and mid- weight knit fusible interfacing. Optional: use heavier weight interfacing for pocket welt; fusible horsehair canvas can be used for chest shield interfacing.

Great pattern

The pattern is written well and the instructions are clear. And I love that it is size inclusive and sized correctly

Learned a lot from this blazer

Overall really liked making this blazer. I found the instructions well-written, and referenced the photos from the sew-along for one question I had about sewing the hem. I did size down in the bust for this, because i wanted to be able to wear it open without it looking super baggy in the front. I probably should have sized down 2 cup sizes because it's still a TAD baggy when I wear it open - but it fits perfectly when I button it. I learned the bound buttonhole for this jacket and it took me about 4 tries in practice scraps to get it - but it does add a very polished look!

I used silk noil for the main fabric and crepe de chine for the lining, both were easy to work with.

A big project - and worth it

I love this pattern. I made it in navy twill linen, lined with silk from an old sleeping bag liner, and it turned out beautifully. The instructions are clear and thorough. I was looking for a big project, and boy did I get it. There are LOTS of steps. My one suggesion is that psychologically it's tough to start with a bound buttonhole and welt pockets. They're tricky, especially the pockets. I reckon it's better to sew a few big seams first to get into the groove (e.g. start with the sleeves). I will definitely make this pattern again, but I need some recovery time first!

Difficult to

Perfect accomplishment of narrow shoulders (think size 8) to generous bust (think size 14-16). Wonderful

Love the fit!

It's awesome to get a pattern that only needs minor tweaks for an amazing fit (usually it's easier draft up a pattern on my personal block with other designers).

I made the back darts have a little more dart value rather than a sway back adjustment and graded from a 12 shoulders, 14 waist and through to 18 hips

I freestyled mostly but the instructions I did read were nice and clear (even if I still didn't follow them) and you can tell it was drafted with a lot of consideration for getting a quality finish.

Great Blazer Pattern

Awesome pattern! Very few fitting adjustments were required!
