Best Beginner Blazer

At first, I was a bit intimidated by this pattern (my first blazer), but thanks to the ace instructions and sewalong on YouTube this pattern is quite manageable. I shortened the blazer by 10 cm (for me it was too long) and made a matching pair of pomona pants for a casual suit. This pattern does take up a lot more time than other friday patterns but that’s mostly because it’s lined.

I think there is a misconception about this pattern in that others think you should size down. While this is more of a boxy blazer it definitely isn’t oversized. I made the mistake of sizing down during my first wearable toile (too tight in the back and arms) but when I made my proper size it fit like a dream. Would for sure recommend.
