Tech. Description

Bound Edges Open Front Hip length Jacket

When To Wear

In spring and autumn as a light top layer over a top, shirt or dress.
With trousers or a skirt at the office instead of a tailored jacket.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, semi-fitted.

Length: Hip length.

Neckline: V-shaped, with a small notch where the neckline meets the front edge; no collar.

Sleeves: Set-in, long; the bound lower edge folds up to form a cuff that shows the reverse side of the fabric.

Front: Edges meet at the centre front with no buttons or other fastenings.

Pockets: Two patch pockets with bound top edges, topstitched 0.2 cm from the edge.

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

Finishing: No hem or seam allowance on the front edges, neckline, hem, sleeve hems and pocket tops: all are bound with tape.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Four pattern pieces and no lining or facings; the main skill is applying binding evenly around curves and corners.

Fabric Recommendations

Double-faced suiting or coating fabrics of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Binding tape (approximate length marked on the front pattern piece)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, the patterns are without seam allowances. Seam allowances: Hem allowance, sleeve hem, front edge, neckline, upper pocket edge — 0 cm, all other seams 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.

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