1 Piece Jacket PDF Sewing Pattern

1 Piece Jacket

The 1 piece jacket has been sitting on the back burner for 37 months!

This jacket is inspired from a vintage jacket pattern. I was very intrigued that the body and sleeves are all connected. I have completely reworked the pattern into a modern fit with modern sewing techniques. I added a fun peter pan collar and built in facings to make finishing it easy without a lining.

Throughout the lessons I will show you how to change the length, add a lining and create bound buttonholes. You can choose the difficulty of the sewing depending on the techniques you choose. The easiest version will be the one with no lining and you could even skip all of the bias binding and opt for serged edges. If you are looking to take your skills to the next level you will want to try the fully lined version with bound buttonholes.

The style of this jacket really takes shape depending on the fabric you choose. I picked a casual dark denim for one version with no lining and a Chanel tweed with gold lining for a more fashion forward look. I have also made it up in olive green wool with a cream lining and blue stripes! The options are endless for this cute spring jacket. I know you are going to have so much fun creating the 1 piece jacket.

Happy Sewing,

Pattern sizing

This pattern comes in sizes XS-6X and you can find the size chart on the pattern or to the right of this description. If you need help grading the pattern from size to size be sure to check out my tutorial on that.

Printing the pattern

When it comes to printing the pattern, you have two options to choose from – the home printer version or the large format version. The home printer version is great for those who prefer the convenience of printing at home on standard size paper. Simply download the PDF file, ensure your printer settings are set to actual size, and print out the pattern. Your other option, the large format version is ideal for those who want to skip the taping of multiple sheets together. You can take the large format file to a local print shop or use an online printing service to have the pattern printed on a single large sheet. I like using PDFplotting.com.

Whichever version you choose, make sure to double-check that the scaling is correct before cutting into your fabric. Measure the test square. This will ensure that the pattern is being printed at the right size. Once you have your pattern printed, assembled (if necessary), and you are ready to start on your project.

This file is full color layered PDF so you can print just your size or a few sizes for grading your pattern. 

You will get both print files with this download. The Letter/A4 version and the A0 large format version.
