LANGUAGE: ENGLISH

This sewing pattern uses zero waste pattern cutting and is designed to fit on a particular size fabric. It comprises of instructions showing you how to draw shapes directly onto your fabric, leaving no waste. With the exception of some small printable templates to help in the cutting process, no large paper pattern pieces are required. You can purchase this pattern as a PDF Sewing Pattern or Printed Sewing Pattern. For more details see below:

PDF SEWING PATTERN: This is a PDF sewing pattern download which includes the sewing instructions, cutting instructions and printable templates required to make this garment. All instructions are formatted for A4/US Letter paper and can be printed easily on a home computer. The only printing required for this pattern are the templates, all other instructions can be viewed as a PDF. 

PRINTED SEWING PATTERN: This is a PRINTED workbook which includes an Instruction booklet, a Cutting Plan booklet, and templates all contained in a brown card folder measuring approximately 21cm x 30cm. All printing and assembling is done in Sweden.

*This pattern is for personal and non-profit use only and should not be used for commercial purposes in any way.

The Method

Zero waste pattern cutting is a bit like a puzzle. It is a method of pattern drafting where you utilise a length of fabric end to end by strategically planning your pattern pieces so that everything is used. This pattern does not require printing of large pattern pieces, instead you draw your pattern pieces directly onto your fabric with the aid of a cutting plan and templates. We love working with this method for 3 reasons:

1. More flexibility: This method allows for easy changes such as using different fabric widths and making simple fit and design changes yourself. Using patterns that fit into a zero waste square or rectangular block is a very efficient way to work. It means that it is easier to patchwork together remnants or use left over fabrics you already have lying around.

2. An easy way to learn to self draft your own patterns : Working this way will help you to start building a toolbox of skills, and you will learn an alternative method of self drafting your own sewing patterns, which are super easy for beginners to understand.

3. Less fabric and paper waste: Without having to print full scale paper patterns for all pieces you save on a lot of paper, and you will have little to no fabric waste during the cutting and sewing process!

Fabric + Notions

Fabric Type

This style works really well in light weight cotton fabrics, as well as light weight linens. For best results wash your fabric before cutting out to account for any shrinkage.

Yardage required: 115cm / 45"

Size L-2XL

Recommended Width: 115cm - 150cm / 45 - 59 inches

Size 3L-6XL

You will need one length of light weight cotton bias binding to finish the neck, 3cm / 1.2" wide x approximately 75cm/ 30" long (see template E in your size for exact measurements). Purchase by the metre or cut yourself (on the bias) using a scrap piece of fabric.

Suprisingly good quality and a great looking jacket
I have been searching for a ring master jacket for a circus themed gala where I will be the Auctioneer/Ring Master. All the other jackets I looked at were either cheap costume stuff or just looked a little too much military Hussar style with all of the added gold tassels. This has just the right class and definitely the right look. I was worried it would fit weird or just not be constructed well but I could not be any happier with this jacket- the sleeves are a perfect length when my arms hang at my side, as is the high waist cut and the length of the tails are also just right- and best of all the sequins really shine. I spent my career in the circus and the performing arts and this would have been more than acceptable on stage for someone to wear as a ring master or to look fancy and sparkly, assuming nobody will be standing on your shoulders and popping off your sequins. It is comfortable to wear, although I would not say it allows for full range of motion relative to a costume I would have actually worn in a circus while doing acrobatics. But that would be a totally hand made costume with flexible material and 4-10x the price. Overall it cannot be beat for your average wearer!

Well Made, Runs A Little Small
I bought this on short notice for a drag show. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but it exceeded my expectations in a lot of ways. The interior feels like the inside of a standard suit coat, and is comfortable for long term wear. The sequins are sewn on in a pattern, and there's little, if any, fallout. I've only found a couple sequins on the floor. I've used it a lot since the drag show, for a lot of things (live streams, videos, etc). Absolutely worth the price, and I've already gotten my money's worth out of it. It does run a little small, but it still mostly fits according to the size chart. A few notes: - It doesn't have button holes, so if you're looking for something that buttons up, look elsewhere. - Washing instructions say to machine wash cool, warm iron (do not tumble dry, do not dry clean). I'd say run it on the gentlest cycle you can muster, or just spot clean stains and the pits (if you're sweaty). I don't know how well this thing would survive a wash, but I haven't needed to wash it yet.
