How to sew a bomber jacket
The materials you will need to make this bomber-style jacket are:
- A downloadable pattern in sizes from 36 to 46: PDF A4 BOMBER-KATIA-NAIRAMKITTY (1 cm seam included)
- PDF Instructions
- 1.50 m of Padded metallized in Blue color that you can find available on our website HERE
- Removable 50 cm coat zipper. You can lengthen the jacket up to 5 cm more at the bottom >> Buy the appropriate zipper size for the length you decide
- 40 cm of cuff fabric or 2 packs of finished cuff ready to sew.
- 1.50 m of solid color jersey fabric Country Blue to use as a lining (you can also use any of our poplin, sweats or viyellas.)
Recommendations
Before starting we give you a series of recommendations:
- Remember to use a specific needle for elastic fabric (ball point or jersey) when you are sewing the lining. To sew the quilted fabric, we recommend using a Microtex or Universal 80 needle.
- Being a synthetic fabric, we recommend making sure you make sure of each piece that you are going to sew and even baste whenever you see it necessary.
- The sewing machine leaves marks on the fabric that cannot be removed later
- Use a double feed foot to more easily sew all parts of the coat except the cuffs.
Cut & Sew
Watch the video tutorial that Marian has prepared for us to make it and follow each step carefully to get a result of 10. The pattern comes with the included 1 cm seam on all contours.
1- Start by cutting all the pieces: Exterior: 1 time the back to the loin, 2 times the front and 2 times the sleeves. Do the same process for the lining. 1 time the neck to the loin, once the waist to the loin and twice the cuffs.
2- Face right against right back and front and sew the shoulders. Repeat the same process with the lining.
3- Sew the sleeve as we show you in the video. Repeat the same process with the lining.
4- Sew the waistband at the bottom of the outer fabric.
5- Sew the zipper first to the outer fabric and then the lining.
6- Sew the collar in a sandwich between the outer and the lining. Cut the excess zipper from the ends, turn, and seat.
7- Bag the lining on the outside and sew the cuffs.
8- Sew the hem of the lining to blind stitch.
9- Make an overload stitch next to everything the length of the zipper on both sides.
