Simple instructions are included in the pattern.
This is a pattern for a double button jacket that has been highly requested.
It looks like a tailored collar, but it is a mock tailored collar made with a separate collar and fake lapel.
This design is very easy for people who are not comfortable making a tailored collar, because it is simply sandwiched with the facing.
The length is slightly longer, so please adjust it to match your preferred style.
After printing, align and tape the pages along the joining lines, then cut and use.
Seam allowances are already included in the pattern, so you can use it as it is.
* When making with lining, refer to the facing line and create the lining pattern.
(1) Apply fusible interfacing to the front facing, back facing, fake lapel, "Collar", and "Cuff". Sew the facings together, press the seam allowances open, and serge/overlock the edges.

(2) Sew the fake lapel and "Collar" together and prepare them so they can be inserted.
* If you use bias tape on the fake lapel and "Collar", do it here.
(3) Serge/overlock the shoulders and sides of the "Front bodice" and "Back bodice". Sew them together, press the seam allowances open, and serge/overlock the hem.
(4) Fold the decorative belt along the fold line, then sew it to the position on the "Body".
* This step is not needed if you do not use the decorative belt.
(5) Sew flat bias tape at the bias position on the left "Front bodice" (left front only).
(6) Align the fake lapel and "Collar" to the alignment positions and temporarily sew them.
(7) Insert the fake lapel and "Collar" into the "Body", then sew the facing to secure.
(8) When turning the facing inside out, trim the thick or pulling parts of the seam allowance, then finish the hem.
(9) Sew bias tape at the front edge bias position of the "Body".
(10) Sew buttons at the button positions on the right front, and make buttonholes on the left front.
* Make the button and buttonhole through the facing to secure it.
(11) Sew the "Cuff" into a loop, press the seam allowances open, then sew it with another piece so it can be inserted.
How to sew sleeves and sleeve cuffs
* If you use bias tape on the "Cuff", do it before or after making the loop.
(12) Serge/overlock the sleeve sides, sew them together, and press the seam allowances open.
(13) Attach the "Cuff" to the sleeve hem, then sew the "Sleeve" to the "Body" and serge/overlock the armhole.
(14) To prevent the fake lapel from lifting, sew the back side of it to the "Collar" where it cannot be seen.
