Jaime Jacket | PDF Pattern

£14.00

The Jaime Jacket is a casual menswear piece designed to feel quietly smart and easy to wear. It may look simple but it’s full of carefully considered features to elevate it from other ‘over shirt’ style jackets.

The cut features a curved yoke that flows straight into the under sleeve seam which turns into a slit opening at the cuff. This flowing seam travels from cuff to cuff with a wide run & fell seam. The front pockets have a dual opening and the back loop is on the outside of the jacket to create a unique and subtle design detail.

Sizing: Mens sizes XS2 - XL3 / Women's sizes 4 - 20 (with PDF Layers)

Skill level: Intermediate sewers.

You can search instagram for customer makes with the hashtag #msjaimejacket

The Jaime Jacket is cut to be relaxed but not oversized. Selecting your ‘true size’ will give you a jacket that fits like an over shirt. If you prefer to have more room around the shoulders and chest to layer with thicker jumpers, or if you have a very thick or sturdy fabric we recommend sizing up. We recommend paying attention to the shoulder and sleeve measurements - the pattern comes with 3 sleeve length options so you can choose the right length for you.

This pattern is a fitted jersey piece and it should feel like a second skin.

The sleeves are slightly cropped to sit above the wrist and the body length sits just on the hips.

Construction techniques: Zip fly construction with flat binding finishing, one-piece waistband, flat felled seam, patch pockets & ankle cuff construction or hem.

Suitable fabrics: The Daphne Trouser works very well in structured heavy to mid weight twills, drills, denims and canvas fabrics. Tougher fabrics will give you a closer fit to the body (although before starting check you can easily sew through 5 layers of the fabric) and lighter twills and denims are lovely in the summer as the lighter weight fabrics will give you a slightly looser fit.

Fabric requirements: Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.

Fabric width 150cm | Sizes 4 - 12 = 180cm | Sizes 14 - 20 = 240cm | Sizes 22 - 28 = 250cm

Fabric width 110cm | Sizes 4 - 12 = 230cm | Sizes 14 - 20 = 270cm | Sizes 22 - 28 = 290cm

Materials list: Self fabric, a small length of bias binding binding (optional), 18-20cm zip, 1 x button (around 2.5-3cm), thread, about 20cm of good quality fusing

Darcy Coat | PDF Pattern

£15.00

The Darcy Coat is an elegant and comfortable coat that is designed for throwing over any outfit. Whether you're wearing chunky winter layers or a simple summer outfit, the Darcy Coat will drape over the top and work with your body not against it.

You can create winter or summer versions which can be lined or unlined (you will receive instructions for both options). You can also choose between welt pockets or patch pockets depending on your skill level and your intended style for the piece. This is the probably the most complex make in our range but it is well worth the effort.

Sizing: Sizes 4 - 28 (with PDF Layers)

Skill level: Intermediate / advanced sewers (there are design options for first time coat makers and also experienced sewers)

You can search instagram for customer makes with the hashtag #msdarcycoat

The Darcy Coat is very oversized and roomy with plenty of room for thick layers to be worn underneath. Due to the amount of volume it’s best to size down if you’re in-between sizes.

To help minimise wardrobe decisions in the morning, this cut gives you everything you need in an outfit that’s suitable for all year round.

The Jesse Jumpsuit cut is relaxed but not oversized. The torso is cut to finish just above the hip with the elasticated waistband pulling it up to sit on your waist.

Construction techniques: Welt pocket, french seam side pockets, collar with neck facing, full sleeve, elasticated waistband, mock fell seams, topstitching details and optional zip fastening.

Suitable fabrics: When choosing your fabric for the Jesse Jumpsuit you need to consider a few things. It should be very comfortable and breathable to wear as it covers your whole body (not itchy or scratchy). It’s a nice idea to choose natural fibres to allow your body to breath and the shape of this pattern benefits from having a fabric that is soft and supple with a bit of drape.

Suitable fabrics include light/medium denim, light/medium twill, light weight canvas, needlecord, wool suiting, linen (beware as linen will crease heavily).

Fabric requirements: Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
