This is my 2nd jacket. The first one had some sizing and user errors. (orange fine wale cord, was epic fabric!) I used a too-stiff interfacing on the first one, so this one i softened it up. The orange one i made the C cup and it was too big, even though i did create a muslin for sizing. I did find the C-cup dart too sharp, it needed some modification to not be so 'pointy'; the teal one i used the standard front and not the C cup. The pattern was well designed and well instructed. I wore this to a Chamber of Commerce event last night and received many compliments!
finally I left away jasika pattern for myself :too much modifications on front pattern
The pattern and tutorial were great. I am 74 years old and took tailoring classes in 1967. It had been a long time since I made a tailored blazer. I am fairly pleased with my completed blazer and am staring on a new one. I found the step by step videos to be helpful and inspiring. When my blazer was completed I ordered the pattern from the copy shop which will make the next one much simpler. I ordered the packet with to complete the inside and found it to be very helpful.
I completed the blazer during a time while healing from an injury which prevented playing pickleball 😩. What a great distraction.
I recommend the pattern and tutorial.
I have not made this yet and after looking at the pattern I feel its too much work. I guess I thought it would be simpler. I also dont know where I can locally buy some of the interfacing that is required. I really dont want to order on line.
I have not had the time to finish my blazer, but I'm very happy with the detailed instructions and especially with the alternate pieces for larger bust sizes! It makes a complicated project one step easier and I wish all patterns had these options. A lot of the hardest work has been done for you. I have made my muslin (most important alteration was taking off 3 inches of length overall, as I'm very short) and I'm confident I can turn it into a proper blazer with these great instructions.
Would definitely recommend!
