Description
A jacket requires about 1 1/3 yard (6 quarters) of stripe linen, silk, worsted, or printed cotton. The lining requires the same 1 1/3 yard (6 quarters) linen. The sleeve cuff contrast requires about 1/2 yard (2 quarters) of stripe linen, silk, worsted, or printed cotton. Some fabrics such as stripes & printed cottons will require more yardage to keep the pattern running in the correct direction. All yardages are only suggestions & are at your discretion.
Notions required include a spool of 60/2 linen thread or 80/3 linen thread to match & 3 1/3 yard ribbon for jacket sleeve & bottom trim. The original front has 3 yards of plain twill ribbon, but a variation calls for 3 yards fancy ribbon & 3 sets of ribbon ties. Another variation allows you to close the front with medium pins for finer fabrics, large pins for heavier fabrics or hooks & eyes.
