Cropped Alina Design Fulton Sweater Blazer

Two months I bought some sweater fabric to make a cardigan. But when I wanted to prewash it it had discolouration at the foldline.

Looking for an alternative I came across the Fulton sweater blazer. The lapel collar and the open front were for the key elements to purchase this pattern. Plus the advantage of the back seam so I was able to hide the discolouration in this seam.

I didn't had enough to make a knee length version so I decided to make a cropped version. I did set-in sleeves instead of sewing a sleeve in flat.

This cropped version of the Fulton Blazer is perfect for my body type. I topstitched the back seam and finished the back facing with a reverse coverstitch for a more sporty, casual look.

This pattern comes with well written instructions and illustrations. It also has two options for sleeve length as well as hip and knee length. Besides the instructions there's also a sewalong online available.

More photo's can be found in my blogpost.

Camel coloured sweater blazer

Pattern Description:

The Fulton Sweater Blazer is an open-front knit jacket with a slimming relaxed fit. Polished, yet comfortable, this layering piece will instantly escalate casual outfits while adding a layer of warmth as you transition to and from seasons.

Easy to dress up or dress down, this pattern can be worn anywhere from the office to the park to a night out.

The 3/4-sleeves layer nicely over short sleeves, while the full-length sleeves are practical for cooler weather. Both sleeve lengths can be folded up and cuffed to expose a thick facing (use a fun contrast fabric here!).

The hip-length version (View A) is extremely versatile while the knee-length version (View B) can be made in warmer fabrics more suitable for cold weather. Large patch pockets serve to catch all of the essentials on-the-go.

This pattern is unlined, making it easy to sew, and can be made on any home sewing machine.

I made view A.

Pattern Sizing:

From bust size 32 – 44.5 inches, and hip size 34 – 46.5 inches

I cut a size 16 through the bust, shoulder and arms and graded out to an 18 over the waist and hips.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yes.

Were the instructions easy to follow?

For the most part very good and a comprehensive set of finished garment measurements are provided. I did find the written instructions for the collar a little hard to follow, but there is a video tutorial available which is clearer.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I like the finished garment. It feels comfortable and is very easy to wear. Nothing to dislike.

Fabric Used:

A viscose mix ponte knit in camel colour.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

0.5 inch FBA which brought a bust dart in (the pattern is drafted for a B-cup).
Added 5/8ths inch to the front and back side seams.
For next time: I think the bust darts have to be moved down an inch, and I have already done this on the pattern, but this seems to vary depending on which bra I am wearing, lol.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

I might make again. A longer length in a heavier fabric might be nice. Yes. I recommend.

Conclusion:

Easy to wear but a step-up from a cardigan; definitely a great piece to have in your wardrobe. Full details on my blog: https://sewmanju.com/2019/04/24/alina-sewing-and-design-company-fulton-sweater-blazer-diy-camel-ponte-knit-casual-blazer/
