This is a sewing pattern and tutorial for a short-length bolero jacket with a front opening.
The structure is very simple, with no buttons or zippers, so it is also suitable for beginners.
The back side of the garment may be visible because of the design, so a lining pattern is also included.
The sleeve length is drafted about 3 cm shorter than the standard size. If you are concerned about the length, place the paper pattern on your shoulder and check it before cutting the fabric.
This pattern is also suitable as a base pattern for bolero-style costumes.
The side lines are drafted slightly wider.
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.
*Please press all sewn seams with an iron.
(1) Apply fusible interfacing to the Front Facing, Back Facing, and Back Hem Facing. Sew the pieces together and press the seam allowances open.
(2) Sew the shoulder seams, side seams, and center back seam of the Front Bodice and Back Bodice. Press the seam allowances open.
(3) Sew the shoulder seams, side seams, and center back seam of the Front Lining and Back Lining. Press the seam allowances open.
(4) Sew the Facing and Lining together around the entire edge. Press the seam allowances toward the inside.
* Make small cuts in the fabric hanging sections.
(5) Sew the underarm seam of the Sleeve. Press the seam allowances open.
(6) Sew the underarm seam of the Sleeve Lining. Press the seam allowances open.
(7) Sew the sleeve opening of the Sleeve and Sleeve Lining together. Press and shape the cuff.
(8) Leave an opening for turning on the Back Bodice. Sew the outer edge of the Bodice and Lining together.
(9) Turn the garment right side out through the turning opening. Press and shape the garment.
* Make small cuts in the fabric hanging sections when turning the garment right side out.
* If you want to prevent the armhole seam allowances from being visible, pull the fabric out through the turning opening and secure each armhole with stitching.
(10) Sew the Sleeves to the Bodice. Finish the raw edges and press the garment into shape.
