Auburn Blazer 12-32 PDF pattern

Auburn blazer

I made this in a black polyester suiting fabric. It was great to have a pattern whereby I didn’t need to adjust for a full bust, it was all done for me! I found the pattern to be really well drafted, the pieces fitting together with ease. The instructions were thorough and I’m really pleased with the result

Great pattern

The pattern is written well and the instructions are clear. And I love that it is size inclusive and sized correctly

Learned a lot from this blazer

Overall really liked making this blazer. I found the instructions well-written, and referenced the photos from the sew-along for one question I had about sewing the hem. I did size down in the bust for this, because i wanted to be able to wear it open without it looking super baggy in the front. I probably should have sized down 2 cup sizes because it's still a TAD baggy when I wear it open - but it fits perfectly when I button it. I learned the bound buttonhole for this jacket and it took me about 4 tries in practice scraps to get it - but it does add a very polished look! I used silk noil for the main fabric and crepe de chine for the lining, both were easy to work with.
