Sew Over It

£13.50 – £20.50

Buy the Amelia Jacket sewing pattern from Sew Over It. The Amelia Jacket is a 1940s-style bomber jacket, named after the indomitable Amelia Earhart. Designed to be made out of a medium weight woven fabric, it’s a satisfying project with some great techniques to master.

The jacket features bust darts, a zipped front, flat collar, full-length set-in sleeves with elasticated cuffs, and an elasticated waistband. It is fully lined for a beautiful neat finish on the inside, and hits at the natural waist so perfect for wearing with high-waisted trousers and skirts or over dresses.
