Draped Asymmetrical Jacket with Clasp

When To Wear

In autumn and spring over tops and blouses, with trousers or a straight skirt.
For the office or everyday wear in place of a structured blazer.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Fitted, shaped by darts on the fronts.

Length: Hip length at the back; the overlapping front falls into a longer point.

Collar: Cut in one with the fronts and joined by a centre back collar seam, then set into the back neckline. The collar edge has no seam allowance and is left raw.

Front: Asymmetric left and right fronts that overlap. A strap is threaded through a decorative carabiner clasp and topstitched to the left front; a narrow bias loop on the inside of the right front holds the under-layer.

Sleeves: Long, set-in sleeves; sleeve and side seams sewn in one pass. Sleeve hems left raw.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, no centre back seam.

Finishing: No facings or hems: hem, front edges, collar edge and sleeve ends are cut without allowance. Shoulder seams pressed open and overlocked.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Setting a cut-on collar into the back neckline by clipping the shoulder seam allowance, and placing the clasp strap and loop by the markings. Few pieces and no facings or lining.

Fabric Recommendations

Soft knit fabric with low stretch that does not fray, of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

1 decorative carabiner clasp

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 of the jacket, front edges, outer collar edge and sleeve hem - 0 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

From main fabric:

Back – 1 piece on fold
Left Front – 1 piece
Right Front – 1 piece
Sleeve – 2 pieces
Placket – 1 piece
Bias strip for the loop, 3 cm wide and 5 cm long – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Stitch darts on the front pieces. Trim the dart depth with an overlocker and press downwards.
Press the seam allowances of the long sides of the placket to the wrong side. Thread the placket through the decorative clasp and topstitch it to the left front according to the markings.
Stitch the collar seam, folding the front pieces wrong sides together, press the seam allowance open. Stitch and press open the jacket shoulder seams, overlock the allowances. Clip the shoulder seam allowance on the front and set the collar into the back neckline, press the allowance open.
Set the sleeves into the armholes according to the notches, press the allowances.
Stitch the side seams simultaneously with the sleeve seam, press the allowances towards the back.
Cut a bias strip 3 cm wide and 5 cm long. Fold the strip in half lengthwise and stitch 0.3 cm from the fold. Trim the allowances and turn the piece right side out. Adjust the loop length. Sew the loop to the wrong side of the right front according to the markings.
