Tech. Description

Zip-Front Hooded Jacket

A women's cropped hooded jacket with short cut-on sleeves, a separating zip set between front plackets and an elasticated hem band. Unlined, with no pockets.

When To Wear

Cool summer evenings and spring days, over a T-shirt or a top.
With high-waisted trousers, jeans or skirts, since the jacket ends at the waist.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Loose, boxy body drawn in at the hem by the elasticated band.

Length: Cropped, to the waist.

Collar: Two-piece hood with a centre seam, sewn to the neckline; the outer edge is turned 1 cm and then 2 cm and topstitched.

Sleeves: Short, cut in one with the front and back, finished with a folded band sewn into a ring.

Closure: Separating zip set into double front plackets (outer and inner), topstitched 1 cm from the zip.

Back: One piece cut on the fold.

Waist: Folded hem band cut on the fold, with 4 cm wide elastic threaded through and secured at the front edges.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Few pieces and straight seams; the zip set between two plackets and the elastic casing need careful, accurate stitching.

Fabric Recommendations

Jacket and raincoat fabrics made from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Separating zip
Elastic, 4 cm wide, 4 cm shorter than the hem band

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: Outer seam allowance of the hood - 3 cm, all other seam allowances - 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Front – 2 pieces
- Back – 1 piece with fold
- Placket for front edge – 4 pieces
- Bottom placket – 1 piece with fold
- Sleeve placket – 2 pieces
- Hood – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

Stitch shoulder and side seams. Overlock seam allowances and press towards the back.
Fold the bottom placket in half lengthwise, right side out, and attach it to the bottom of the jacket, overlock the seam allowance and press upwards. Thread the elastic tape into the placket and secure it at the edge of the front opening.
Attach the outer placket to the front edge, direct the seam allowance towards the placket. Attach the zipper to the outer placket. Place the inner placket on top of the outer placket and stitch the corners and the front edge, starting and ending the stitching strictly at the marked stitching line. Fold the inner placket to the wrong side. Fold the seam allowance inwards and topstitch into the attachment seam. Topstitch along the front edge 1 cm from the zipper.
Stitch the sleeve placket into a ring. Fold in half lengthwise and press. Attach the outer side of the placket to the sleeve. Fold the seam allowance of the inner side inwards and topstitch into the attachment seam.
Stitch the hood seam. Overlock the seam allowance. Fold the outer edge of the hood by 1 cm, then by 2 cm and topstitch. Attach the hood to the jacket. Overlock the seam allowance, press towards the back and front.
