No. 18 Los Angeles - Version 1

Jacket with quilted shoulders, patch pocket and elastic band in the waist. The sleeves are bell-shaped and cut on the bias for more comfort and flexibility. The jacket has a built-up neckline, and all edges are finished with a bias band.

Fabric choice:

Light to medium weight woven fabric. Cotton, Silk, Wool, Viscose, Cupro, Linen or Polyester. Works well in fabrics with comfort stretch. Not suitable for jersey.

Find Your Size:

Take your measurements and choose the closest size from the measurement chart see measurement chart here

Fitting:

We recommend that you always make a muslin (also known as a toile) before you cut the fashion fabric. This will ensure your finished style fits you perfectly.

Cutting Fabric

Match the lettered pattern pieces (A, B, C etc.) to the cutting layout plan for the view you have chosen.

NB! Find the length for the bias tape in the measurement chart below.
