Recommended fabric:
- For the jacket body: medium to heavyweight suitings or lightweight coatings with surface texture such as wool melton, wool flannel, crepe and tweed. Velvet, medium-heavy weight cotton, seersucker and linen may also be used. Please note: tightly woven, smooth surfaced suitings like wool gabardine are not recommended since they can be difficult to fuse using an iron.
- For the lining: rayon bemberg, charmeuse, crepe de chine, silky cottons like voile
- For the pockets: sturdy cotton like shirting, quilting cotton or muslin (1/4 yd / 0.25 m)

Customer Reviews
I’m in the process of sewing the Jasika Blazer and am very pleased with how it is coming together. I made two small adjustments based on a muslin. The fitting ebook was very helpful. The tutorial along with the printed instructions are excellent. I’m using a charcoal midweight cotton twill with a Cupro lining both purchased from Core Fabrics. Actually can’t wait to finish this one and start another!
I’ve been looking for a pattern that is just a really classic blazer. The Jasika fit the bill. I might have to pay for the tutorial too. There is so much I don’t know about making a fine blazer. Fun times to come!!
I feel super proud of making this and I love the result. Excited to make more. Fitting and sizing advice was great. There were a few steps that I got really confused on and wished had been illustrated. I’m glad that I’ve made many collared things and a few lightweight jackets before, it definitely helped get through it.
I really love this pattern but I have not made it yet. I am planning to start when it gets cooler. Can't sew here in summer, no AC and too hot!
