Simple sewing instructions are written on the pattern paper.
This pattern is for people who want to make a blazer, but think a tailored collar is difficult and troublesome to make.
This is a beginner-friendly blazer pattern. It is made as easy as possible, and it looks like a tailored collar.
The collar part has a simple structure. It is only inserted between the facing pieces.
The pockets are box pockets, but you can make the sewing easier by using fake dummy pockets.
After printing, align the pages along the guide lines, paste them together, and cut out the pattern pieces. Seam allowances are included, so you can use the pattern as-is.
* When making a full lining version, use the facing lines as a guide and create the lining pattern.
(1) Apply fusible interfacing to the front facing, back facing, fake lapel, collar, and welt pieces for welt pockets (1) and (2). Sew the facing pieces together, press the seam allowances open with an iron, and finish the edges.
