Style Arc Harriet Jacket - MLJW025L

This pattern is rated as medium difficulty. It is recommended for sewers who have some experience with basic garment construction techniques, including setting sleeves and potentially lining a garment.

While the pattern is designed for woven fabrics, experienced sewers might experiment with stable knits like ponte. However, the boxy fit is best achieved with fabrics that have some structure.

The pattern works well with a variety of light to medium-weight woven fabrics such as cotton, linen, chambray, suiting, or lightweight wool blends. The choice of fabric will greatly influence the final drape and style of the jacket.

Yes, the pattern allows for both unlined and lined versions of the jacket. Separate instructions or considerations for lining are typically included.

The pattern includes a multi-sized range from Australian sizes 18 to 30, printed on 60gsm paper with each size in a different color for easy identification.

Yes, all seam allowances are included within the pattern pieces, simplifying the cutting process.

The Style Arc Harriet Jacket pattern is designed and printed in Australia.

Carefully unfold the nested pattern pieces. Use the different colored ink for each size or the distinct pattern lines to identify your chosen size. Refer to the key provided on the pattern sheet if available.

Ensure you are using the correct needle and thread for your fabric. Check your machine's tension settings and consider using a walking foot for heavier fabrics or when sewing multiple layers.

Make sure you have accurately matched the notches on the sleeve and the armhole. Ease the sleeve into the armhole by distributing the fabric evenly and pinning securely before stitching. Ensure the shoulder seam and side seam are sewn accurately.

Pre-wash your fabric before cutting to account for any shrinkage. Consider using a stabilizer or interfacing for delicate or very lightweight fabrics to provide more body and structure.
