Liesl + Co Yanaka Jacket Pattern Size 8-20 $39.95

Yanaka Jacket sewing pattern from Liesl + Co.

A cross between a blazer and a cardigan, this chic, unlined jacket is semifitted, slightly cropped, and includes several unique features: a cutaway silhouette, cut-on sleeves, a sleeve gusset for better movement and fit, and a gentle stand-up collar.

With no set-in sleeve and no closures, this style is fun and easy to sew as well as versatile to wear.

The cut-out V-notch at the back hem adds a little extra style, and the pattern is great for colour blocking. This style includes cup sizes with added bust darts for C and D cups to help you get a perfect fit.

Suggested fabrics: This pattern works best with medium- to heavyweight woven fabrics like denim, canvas, wool coating, jacquard, brocade, and bonded fabrics.

Fabric requirements: 44″ (112 cm) wide fabric: 2 3/4 – 3 1/4 yd (2.5 – 3 m) // 58″ (147 cm) wide fabric: 2 – 2 1/4 yd (1.8 – 2.1 m).

Sizing: 0 – 20 (approx. UK 8 – 20) with A/B, C and D cups. Please check the size chart and finished garment measurements.

To determine cup size, subtract upper bust measurement from full bust measurement. Up to 2″ difference = A/B cup, 3″ = C cup, 4″ = D cup.

Notions: Coordinating thread; medium- to heavyweight interfacing (fusible or sew-in); approx. 15 yd of bias binding or seam binding to finish the seam allowances (optional); 1 – 1 1/2 yd of 1/4″ chain to weight the hem (optional).
