It feels like expensive couture, and looks like it too. With modern details and precision stitching, it’s the jacket you’ll reach for every time. Suitable for many fabrics, this design is a year-round option that completes any outfit, from casual to office to evening. It’s your Go-To Jacket—a little bit of everyday couture.
In this in-depth course, Cynthia shares the special features and construction techniques for two jackets (one shorter, with an open front, and a longer version with a zipper). They are fully lined, and designed to be comfortable and look good on a range of figure types. You can wear it open, partially closed, or fully zipped, and it will attractively accommodate any style of top beneath it.
This comprehensive tutorial leads you through every step of creating both jacket versions. Each chapter offers not only instructions for this jacket, but an unparalleled assortment of sewing techniques that will surely improve all your garment projects. With Cynthia’s detailed guidance these jackets are within reach of intermediate-level sewists and above. If you’re an ambitious beginner who has sewn a garment with a collar and sleeves, you can successfully tackle these patterns, too.
The course includes a nearly one-hour class as a bonus: Cynthia’s “Seven Core Sewing Skills.” From finding the fabric’s grain to seam accuracy, clipping and pressing, and perfectly matching seam intersections, Cynthia’s techniques give you the confidence to sew any garment and get professional results.
