Pattern Puzzle - Soft Pleat Jacket

This design has been developed using a kimono jacket block suitable for woven's.  If you'd like all the pattern making detail, jump over to the website blog.

If you turn the piece over and stand it up straight you can see that it is the front right side of this jacket with extra length added to the wrap to make the soft drape pleat between each button.

  1. I LOVE this jacket!! I just don't know how I would transfer you sketches into a working pattern that I could use. Any pointers? Sorry, I'm a beginner.

  2. Hi Michelle, great to hear from you. No need to be sorry, this is a complex pattern to make and most suited to sewers with intermediate experience at least. So far it has been very popular and with a little luck and more hours in the day I will produce either a fully detailed set of patternmaking instructions or the pattern itself as a download.

    I am only at the beginning of building my pattern making instructions as downloadable PDF's. So much more to come. There is a worksheet on the website for beginners to make a skirt block. Perhaps that would be a good place to start? Always happy to answer questions as you go along.
