This is a free sewing pattern for a short jacket with a heart-shaped lapel, created in response to many requests.
The collar is finished by sandwiching it with a facing, making it easier to sew than a tailored collar.
The design is made so that the front cannot be closed and stays widely open.
There are no pockets, so it is relatively beginner-friendly, but some bias finishing is required, which may be a little tricky. A related link has been provided for reference.
The sleeves are made from a single piece for simplicity.
Please feel free to use this as a base pattern for your own custom designs.
After printing, align the join lines and cut along them. The pattern includes seam allowances (S/A), so it can be used as is.
The production process is explained with translation software.
