Buying a thing in the store, people face a number of problems. Either there is no suitable size, or the color of the buttons is not to your liking, or it does not fit well, or the sleeve is too wide. In general, it is not always possible to find the ideal model.

Each of us at least once thought about sewing things on our own, but often this is postponed until later. Only a few bring the matter to the end, starting to sew things on their own. The rest continue to wear purchased items that they do not quite like. But once you decide to experiment and sew an ideal model for yourself a skirt, shirt, dress, thing for a child, and then, having gained experience, you can move on to more complex models. For example, you can sew outerwear yourself, then your jacket or coat will definitely be unique and inimitable. Let's try to sew a product on the pattern of a men's jacket. Your man will be pleasantly surprised to receive a new jacket as a gift.the right size and perfect fit.

Where to start?

The most difficult thing for a beginner seamstress is to find a good pattern. It is not necessary to have a ready-made pattern for a men's jacket in stock. You can take an old jacket, inspect where, where and what is sewn on, draw a model on paper that is planned for sewing. Then take a suitable sample of a men's jacket pattern and build a pattern yourself.

The pattern of a men's jacket is the basis of all work. The fate of the finished product depends on the quality of its execution. Therefore, you should take this stage of work very responsibly. So, we start building a pattern for a men's jacket by drawing the desired model on large sheets of paper, then cutting out pieces on unnecessary fabric and fitting them to the mannequin. Thus, having a perfect finished pattern, you can proceed directly to sewing.

Step 1. We prepare the necessary materials

For sewing, we need a sewing machine and all sewing accessories: threads, scissors, needles, ruler, pencil, centimeter and other little things. It is also important to decide in advance what fabric the jacket will be made of, how to insulate it, decorate it.

For a warm autumn men's jacket you will need:

• artificial leather canvas,
• raincoat fabric (for individual parts of the jacket)
• lining material
• insulation (synthetic winterizer)
• 1 long zip fastening
• 2 small zips on pockets
• a little fabric for trim
• fur belton the hood.

So, having prepared all the necessary materials and patterns for a men's jacket with a hood, let's get to work.

Step 2. Transferring the pattern to fabric

Using a piece of chalk or soap, transfer the elements of the jacket from paper to the main fabric and insulation, adding a couple of centimeters along the edges to the seams. We get the same pattern of a men's jacket, but already on the fabric. When everything is drawn, carefully with sewing scissors we cut out along the contour of the jacket part from the main fabric and insulation. It is also necessary to cut out the details for the hood and 2 patch pockets.

Step 3. Sewing pockets

To make the pockets the same and beautiful, it is desirable to draw a pattern for them too.

The sewing process itself begins with sewing on the insulation. For convenience, it is better to make a double layer, so the first one needs to be stitched with the top of the jacket, the second layer with the lining. An important point - if you are going to make the top of the jacket quilted, then you need to leave good allowances, 7-10 centimeters along all seams, since the fabric is pulled together when stitching. You can prepare pockets. To do this, take a cut out pocket and attach a zipper to it. We repeat the same with the second pocket. You can sew on a zipper immediately on a sewing machine, without weaving, as traces may remain on the raincoat fabric from weaving.

On the second part of the shelf we sew stripes, a little larger in size than our pocket will be. We fold the shelves with the front sides, mark the pocket and stitch. Cut off the excess insulation. Furtherwe put a pocket zipper on the stitched rectangle and also sew it at a low speed of the sewing machine. We cut out the pocket burlap itself from the lining and fleece and attach it to the zipper. We repeat the same with the second pocket.

Step 4. Collecting the jacket

To assemble the upper part of the jacket, you need to make darts on the back, then sew the shoulder seams, mark the places for the sleeve.

We take up the sleeves. We sew a heater to the wrong side of the sleeve, sew a lining on top of it and attach everything on a sewing machine. Similarly, we repeat with the second sleeve and briefly put it aside. Now, based on the pattern of the men's jacket, we sew the lining. This is done by analogy with sewing a jacket from the base material. We transfer the pattern from paper to fabric, cut out and attach the front parts to the back, sew the shoulder seams. When there is already a sewn lining and sewn parts from the base material, we do the same from the insulation material. Thus, we have, as it were, 3 unfinished jackets and fully finished sleeves.

Now it's the turn of the hood. To do this, we take a hood pattern, transfer it from paper to fabric, to the lining and insulation, cut it all out and baste it.

Do not forget to cut off the excess insulation so that nothing sticks out under the seams. Now we decide whether we make the hood removable or not. If the hood on the jacket is not removable, then attach the main fabric of the hood to the main fabric of the jacket, betweenthey will be a heater, and we sew the linings together. If the hood is removed, then we attach it to the jacket in the same sequence, but with the help of a zipper, namely: we attach one strip of lightning to the hood to its lower part, sew the second half into the jacket.

It turns out we have a ready-made hood separately from the jacket, which, if necessary, we can fasten. Buttons can be used instead of a zipper for a detachable hood. For beauty, you can sew a fur edge on the edges of the hood. It can be made in one piece or with a zipper so that it can be removed if necessary. If the hood itself is one-piece, then there is no point in making a detachable edge.

Step 5 completion

Now you need to connect all the details of the jacket together. We have the jacket itself, a hood and 2 sleeves. Turn the jacket inside out and sew on the sleeves. We connect the lining with the lining, the main part with the main part. We fasten the hood - and the jacket is ready. If you wish, before sewing on the sleeves, you can make cuffs from a dense fabric or knit so that the lining does not accidentally stick out from under the sleeve.

We conclude that it is not difficult to sew a jacket if there is a good pattern, because it is the basis for a men's jacket, as well as for tailoring for any product.
