2. A set of patterns in a pattern and a description of the design of a large volume jacket

2.1. Complete set of simple patterns of a jacket - a down jacket of a large volume

(picture 1)

1. Back pattern.
2. Shelf patterns - left and right.
3. Pattern of a non-stop sleeve.
4. Collar patterns - left and right.
5. Attached hood pattern.

The patterns of the headbands and the lining are not included in the kit, since the lining and the headband are cut according to the same patterns as the details of the "top". Cutting lines are marked on the patterns for the front and back.

2.2. Description of the design of the jacket - down jacket

This is an asymmetrical straight cut.

There are markings on the patterns that allow you to cut out both the jacket and the “coat”.

The armhole is lowered, the sleeve is without landing with the marking of the line of the elbow roll for cutting the pattern for reasons of economy.

Using the same patterns, you can sew a warm quilted vest or a transformer vest - a jacket with detachable sleeves (see the photo).

3. What to sew this jacket or down jacket from

Any raincoat fabric is suitable for sewing.
More about choosing a raincoat fabric

How to choose a heater

The thickness of the insulation for a short jacket can vary from 140 to 250 grams.

And for a long coat - a down jacket from 200 to 280 gr.

The consumption of raincoat fabric for a short jacket will be about 230 - 270 cm, with a width of 150 cm.

The consumption of raincoat fabric for a long jacket is approximately 270 - 350 cm.

Lining fabric consumption - 150 - 200 cm.

Insulation consumption depends on the chosen tailoring option.

The most rational option for sewing a jacket or coat - a down jacket of a large volume is the option with separate quilting of the "top" and "lining" with a thin or medium-weight insulation.

The consumption of insulation is calculated based on the consumption of raincoat fabric.

5. How to cut a jacket - a large down jacket according to a finished pattern

With the seeming simplicity of the style, its cutting is complicated by asymmetry.

Cutting is performed on one layer of fabric from the front side and the inscriptions of the patterns should “look up”.

Before cutting, you should have a clear idea of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe sewing sequence in order to select the desired seam allowances.

If we assume that after cutting the details of the "top" the stitch will be performed, then the seam allowances should be increased by 1 - 3 cm compared to the standard ones. In this case, the rule is observed - the denser the stitch, the greater the allowances.

After stitching, the parts are aligned according to the patterns and the seam allowances are left as standard.

Let me remind you the standard - 1 - 1,2 cm.
No allowances are added along the neck, sprout, armhole and round.

As for the patterns themselves, inexperienced home couturiers should make duplicate patterns, the cut of which is asymmetrical.

As mentioned above, the patterns of the shelves and the hood are marked with lines along which the patterns are cut for the subsequent cutting of the bands and lining (picture 2).

It is important to remember that if cutting will be carried out according to the same patterns without making duplicate patterns, then the inscriptions should be turned to the fabric.

An approximate layout of the details of the "top" is shown in 3 drawing. Please note that the sleeve template is cut along the line of the elbow roll for the most rational use of the fabric. Of course, you can not do this and cut the sleeves entirely.

The cutting of the lining is shown in 4 drawing.

Since of all the details of the lining, only the details of the shelves are asymmetric, it is convenient to cut it in two stages - the back and shelves, sleeves and hood. The rectangle in the upper right corner is a detail of a lined pocket.

At the first stage, fold the fabric in half along the width of the back and lay the middle line on the fold of the fabric. Then the shelves. The shelves of the lining should be mirrored to the shelves of the "top".

Fold the rest of the fabric in half and cut out the sleeves with a hood.

After quilting, we repeat the cutting (basing of parts) with standard allowances for each quilted part.

As for cutting the insulation, it is already cut out according to the details of the cut of the “top” and “lining” with allowances for the insulation of 2–3 cm. These allowances deviate from the cuts of the details of the “top” and “lining”.

An example of cutting insulation shown in the instructions for cutting and sewing a coat - a down jacket with a hood in figure 4.

6. How to sew a down jacket at home

(the simplest option is considered)

If we attribute the operations of quilting the details of the "top" and the details of the "lining" with subsequent basing to cutting, then sewing should begin with the assembly of the "top" and "lining".

However, the sequence in this case depends on the stitch itself.

You can quilt the back and shelves separately or after sewing and ironing the side seams. The same can be said about the lining.

In any case, before stitching, the details of the “top” and the details of the “lining” are basted or pinned onto the details of the insulation.

An example of basting parts on a heater shown in the instructions for cutting and sewing a coat - down jacket "Lolita".

If the part is not quilted, then the insulation is attached to it along the edge with a machine stitch after preliminary basting or pricking.

Based on the foregoing, the approximate sewing sequence, then it looks like this:

1. Basting or piercing the details of the "top" and the details of the "lining" on the insulation.
2. Stitch.
3. Basics.
4. Making pockets.
5. Top assembly.
6. Lining assembly.
7. Compound.
8. Clasp.
