Description

Cropped Teddy Jacket

The Teddy Jacket is a short teddy jacket with a wide collar and a zip from hem to throat.

A big collar sits open at the neck, cut deep enough to turn up against the wind, and the zip runs the full length of the front. Darts shape the front and the back so a cloth this thick still follows you, the shoulder seam drops onto the arm, and the sleeves gather into cuffs that stop the cold at the wrist.

A teddy fleece with real pile gives this its bulk, and it wants nothing underneath it.

A good first project

If you can sew a straight seam and press as you go, you can make this. Every step is illustrated, so nothing is left to guesswork.

How to print it

Open the file in Adobe Reader

Use the A4 or US Letter file. Adobe Reader is free, and it is the only reader that handles the size layers correctly.

Switch off the sizes you don't need

Open the layers panel on the left and leave only your size visible. You will use far less paper and ink, and the pieces are easier to cut.

Set scaling to 100%

Choose Actual Size, and make sure Fit to Page or Shrink to Fit is switched off. This is what keeps the pattern true to size.

Print page one and measure the test square

If the square measures correctly, your settings are right. If not, check the scaling and print page one again before going further.

Print the remaining pages and assemble

Line up the registration marks, tape the sheets together, and follow the assembly diagram that came with your files.

Prefer a copy shop? Use the A0 file

Hand over the A0 file and ask for 100% scale with no tiling. One sheet, no taping, nothing to assemble.
