To sew a down jacket or a warm jacket, we need three types of fabric and applied materials:

• raincoat fabric - fabric for the "top";
• lining - fabric for the wrong side;
• insulation - fabric for laying between the "top" and the wrong side.
• tape for sealing seams;
• zip fasteners;
• buttons;
• laces, trailers and clips for drawstrings.

“I bought a pattern for my daughter, a novice craftswoman. Together with her, we sewed a hoodie with a difference in lengths.

But this pattern was a pleasant surprise. The product without darts perfectly sat on a difficult figure from the first fitting. The sleeve fit into the armhole to the nearest millimeter.
