Minerva Digital Pattern 2681

Introducing the Jacket-Cape digital pattern – Structured Fluidity Meets Modern Elegance.

KEY DESIGN FEATURES

Silhouette: Structured yet fluid, blending classic tailoring with a modern cape-like drape.

Collar & Lapel: Asymmetric design—right side features a separate lapel, left side integrates collar into lapel; standing collar at the back.

Sleeves: Set-in only at the top of the armhole with a wing-like effect; extended shoulder line for a slightly oversized, relaxed fit.

Front & Closure: Curved front hem designed for an open-front look.

Back: Clean, structured, minimal seaming.

Construction: Simplified with minimal seams, ideal for beginners; works best with non-fraying fabrics (e.g. neoprene) for easy finishing.

Style: Balances sharp tailoring with a flowing, contemporary silhouette—versatile and sophisticated.

SEAM ALLOWANCES

No seam allowances by default. If an option to add them at $1 is chosen, all seams 1 cm. Seam allowance along hem and along center front edge – 0 cm. Seam allowance along the lower edge of the armhole, seam allowances of the sleeve EXCEPT for the
upper part of the sleeve cap – 0 cm. Outer seam allowances of collar – 0 cm.

Please note that if the pattern pieces that you receive have a single contour, this means they have no seam allowances. However, if you see a double contour, this means the seam allowances are included.

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A DIGITAL PATTERN 2681

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out according to the fabric width (the fabric width can range from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much fabric you will need (don’t forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

When joining the pieces, pay attention to the notches — they must align!
