Pattern Hacks & Inspiration
I have not had the time to finish my blazer, but I'm very happy with the detailed instructions and especially with the alternate pieces for larger bust sizes! It makes a complicated project one step easier and I wish all patterns had these options. A lot of the hardest work has been done for you. I have made my muslin (most important alteration was taking off 3 inches of length overall, as I'm very short) and I'm confident I can turn it into a proper blazer with these great instructions.
Would definitely recommend!
Shall I compare the Jasika Blazer to a summer's day? Thou art more stylish and more inspiring than the darling buds of May. Okay whatever, just get yourself this pattern, Sewists of the World. Thank you Closet Core for not dumbing down this blazer, but also giving sewists ample support and encouragement via your course (upgraded my sewing game forever), tailoring kit and general online rah-rah presence. I thought after I made it, I wouldn't want to sew another blazer for a very long time. Not so! I made one in Harris tweed and immediately made another in linen for summer while I still had the pattern pieces strewn about my space and Heather Lou's double clapper song in my heart. The FBA on a platter was like a shiny, golden gift from the boob god(desses). Every time I see my blazers hanging in the closet I have a little moment of "I can't believe I made that" and every time I've sewn a garment since then (I'm looking at you, Blanca Flight Suit and Ginger jeans) I feel like I'm sewing with more love, integrity and skill because of all the nuggets of wisdom the Jasika course bestowed upon me. One million freakin' stars!
I love this pattern. It's really well drafted and the instructions are very clear. I also bought the online tailoring tutorial which was full of useful tips. I especially liked the fact that I could watch and re-watch each lesson.
Very well drafted pattern. Instructions are clear and easy to follow.
I had only been sewing for a couple of months and I decided I wanted to have a go at a blazer. Many said I should try easier projects first but I wanted to try! I’m so glad I did because not only did I end up with a gorgeous blazer that I wear a lot, I also learnt so much. In the two years since, I’ve made at least four Jasikas for myself and others and I have a feeling there will be more.
Fast and quick shipping. I haven't made the Blazer yet, I purchased the pattern for a project in January.
