Tech. Description

Winged Bolero Jacket

When To Wear

Over sleeveless dresses and tops in spring and autumn.
As a light cover-up for evening dresses.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Boxy and cropped, ending above the waist; the back is one piece cut on the fold.

Collar: A tall stand collar cut as one piece. The right front neckline and lapel edge are laid over the collar and stitched along a marked line, so the front is asymmetric. On the left front the collar is joined wrong sides together, leaving the trimmed seam allowances on the outside.

Front: No buttons or other fastening; the fronts have rounded lower edges and overlap at the centre.

Sleeves: Wide, short sleeves sewn only into the upper part of the armhole; the lower armhole and the sleeve edges stay open and unfinished.

Finishing: No hems or facings: 0 cm allowance at the hem, front edges, lower armhole, sleeve edges and outer collar edges. Side and shoulder seams are trimmed to 0.5 cm and pressed open.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Only four pieces and a few straight seams; care is needed when stitching the lapel onto the collar and setting the sleeve into the upper armhole.

Fabric Recommendations

Non-fraying fabrics of natural or blended fibres, such as neoprene.

Additional Supplies

No fastenings or interfacing are required

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Seam allowance at the bottom edge and front edge – 0 cm. Seam allowance at the lower part of the armhole and on the sleeve edges except for the sleeve cap – 0 cm. Outer seam allowances of the collar – 0 cm. Attention! First of all, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side.

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 2 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Collar – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

On the right front, cut off the seam allowance along the neckline and lapel.
Stitch the side and shoulder seams. Trim the seam allowances to 0.5 cm and press open.
Place the right front onto the right-hand part of the collar and stitch along the marked line. Clip the seam allowance at the corner.
Clip the collar seam allowances at the marks. Stitch the collar into the back neckline, trim the seam allowance to 0.5 cm and press open. Stitch the collar into the left front neckline, placing the pieces wrong sides together, so that the seam allowances end up on the right side. Trim the seam allowances to 0.5 cm and press open.
Set the sleeve into the upper part of the armhole. Press the seam allowance.
