If you’ve been wanting to sew an easy, but beautiful blazer jacket, this project is for you! Some fun features of the pattern include:
- The blazer is unlined (which is helpful for speedy sewing).
- The construction is not fitted (which is helpful when sewing printed fabrics for minimal seam construction to not disrupt the print).
- The pattern allows for using a stable knit or stretch cotton fabric for comfort and versatility.
- The blazer is cropped for an updated look.
The Morris Blazer pattern is by Grainline Studio. Two sewing machines are recommended for this project, the Air Thread 2000D and the Skyline S7. Supplementary notes and tips are included to be used in parallel with the pattern directions.
