2. Pattern with seam allowance
Seam allowance
Your pattern includes a 1 cm seam allowance.
Thread direction is important
The arrow on the pattern piece should always be parallel to the fabric edge to ensure the pattern piece is placed correctly on the fabric.
Notches / Markings
Remember to cut the small notches marked on the pattern pieces. The markings help ensure the individual pattern pieces align correctly when sewing them together.
Stitch length
I use a stitch length of 2.5 (9 stitches per 2 cm) to sew the jacket together.
For decorative stitching, a stitch length of 3 is recommended.
Choose the stitch length that best suits your fabric and machine.
Symbols in the Pattern
This pattern uses different symbols to clearly indicate which pieces should be cut from fabric, lining, and interfacing.
There is also a symbol that marks pattern pieces to be placed on the fold of the fabric, as well as notches that help align the pieces correctly.
Follow these symbols carefully for the best results.
