I was browsing through some blogs the other week when I came across Melly Sews<\/a>\u00a0and their fantastic\u00a0free<\/em> blazer pattern. With the words “free” and “jacket”, it wasn’t something I was going to pass up on, so I printed the pattern and started cutting & sticking the paper together.<\/p>\n

It’s only a one-size pattern, which unfortunately for me is too tight across the back and the arms. However, undeterred by that, I set about adding an extra inch on the back panel and side seams.<\/p>\n

The pattern calls for patch pockets, but there’s something about patch pockets that never look right to me – maybe it’s my poor quality top stitching, but they never seem to fit the look of a smart jacket. So I followed the instructions for welt pockets instead:<\/p>\n

\"Welt<\/p>\n

They aren’t perfect, they’re pretty shallow, but they’re usable and that’s what counts!<\/p>\n

I needed to make a lining, and I didn’t want to use the same fabric to line it with, so I bought some plain blue polycotton to balance out the patterned polycotton on the outside,<\/p>\n

\"Blazer\"<\/p>\n

I think this jacket looks quite similar to the CC one I spotted earlier in the year<\/a>, with the back vent and notched collar. Ok, my top collar is actually round the wrong way – the lining fabric should be on the inside not the outside, but that adds some individuality to the jacket I think,<\/p>\n

And the best part of this jacket? The only hems are on the sleeve cuffs – the lining is sewn to the main fabric around the base then turned round the right way, so there’s no massive hem at the base to sew up! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
