Free Jacket Patterns
If a project includes a printable pattern, you’ll see a “p” next to its title. If a project doesn’t include a
pattern template, don’t despair! It likely consists of simple fabric shapes (like squares and
rectangles) that you can easily measure and cut yourself.

Note that some projects may be designed for a specific type of sewing machine. But don’t let that
discourage you! If a project you like calls for, say, complex embroidery stitches and you have just a
simple zigzag machine, you can try experimenting with a satin stitch, hand-embroidering a design, or
adding purchased embellishments instead.

Sewing Quick Tip:

To determine how large to make a buttonhole, measure the diameter and thickness of your
button and add these two measurements. Or, measure the diameter of your button and add
about 1/8”.

Test this buttonhole length by cutting a slit this size in a scrap of your fabric and passing
your button through it, making sure it has just enough, but not too much room to pass
through.

You can also sew a couple of test buttonholes in a scrap of your fabric before making the
final buttonholes in your finished item.

Sewing Quick Tip:

To make scissor
cutting easier,
wipe the lint build-
up from your
scissor blades with
a clean, soft cloth
after every few
cuts. Your scissors
will cut more
smoothly and
you’ll experience
less hand fatigue.
Sewing Quick Tip:

To lengthen a
pattern, fill the gap
with graph paper
instead of plain
paper. Lay the cut
edges of your
pattern pieces
against the
horizontal lines
and lay the grain
line arrow of each
piece against the
vertical lines.
