Buy the Hendrix Sleeveless Jacket sewing pattern from Ready to Sew. Hendrix is a sleeveless jacket or vest with a loose, effortless fit, designed to combine comfort and character. Its wide armholes provide ease of movement, while the two large patch pockets add both practicality and style.

The choice of fabric completely transforms Hendrix. Go for corduroy for a retro cosy "grandpa" vibe, denim for a grungier edge, or beige gabardine for a sleek reporter-style look.

Versatile and easy to wear, Hendrix layers perfectly over a boxy T-shirt, a sweater, or even a hoodie. With its relaxed cut you can size up for an oversized feel or down for a more fitted silhouette.
