Sew Smart—A Three-Seasons Jacket Pattern

Sew Smart—A Three-Seasons Jacket Pattern

Cooler weather is upon us! My newest pattern with The McCall Pattern Company will keep you fashionable and comfy. Pattern M7512 is a tapered jacket with two unique collar options and sleeve lengths—ideal to wear during three seasons. The fabric I chose to use in both versions is ponte knit, a medium weight fabric that stitches like a woven, but drapes like a knit. Look for the pattern at your favorite retailer or at Nancy’s Notions.

Choose from Two Styles

Style A: Don’t you just love the graceful curve of the hemline! The collar will instantly frame your face, making this a picture-perfect jacket.

Style B: A modified cowl collar,  3/4-length sleeves, and exaggerated cuffs make this view the perfect weekender jacket.

Sizes included with this collection range from pattern sizes 6–22.

Suitable Fabrics—moderate stretch knits (35% crossgrain stretch): ponte knit, cotton knit, novelty knit, fleece.

The random winner of a copy of the book, Doll Costume Dress Up by Joan Hinds, compliments of F+W Media is Brenda. She said: I love making costumes! I made an ET costume for my son years ago and several children have worn it since then. My favorites are probably the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood that I made for my two oldest granddaughters. The Little Red Riding Hood costume was easy, but the wolf costume was very hard and it turned out great.
