Sewing Pattern  Alteration - Full Bust - Princess Style

Sewing Friends:

Last week-end, Emma Seabrooke spoke at our Chapter of the  American Sewing Guild meeting here in Fort Myers, FL.  Emmas specializes in working with knits and princess line garments.  In her presentation, she described how to do a full bust alteration on a sewing pattern.

Many of our guild member were busy taking notes, but I am not sure they fully understood what Emma was explaining regarding the full bust alteration.

Kwik Sew Pattern No. 3236 - Patch Jacket

Sewing Friends:

If you have ever wanted to sew a classy patch jacket, Kwik Sew Pattern 3236 is one that I recommend.  My students are creating some really awesome jackets using this pattern.

The fabrics that the students chose range from various drapery silky type fabrics to batiks, corduroy, denim, faux suede and various cottons. 

Those students with short necks chose to eliminate the collar.

We added a bust dart coming out of the armhole for the students with larger busts.  This worked very well. 

Kwik Sew 3236 is not a difficult pattern to sew.  However, because of the many pattern pieces and different fabrics required, it can be a little tricky to figure out. Here are some tips to help you achieve sewing success with the patch jacket.
