Simplicity Sewing pattern 3142

With Simplicity Sewing pattern 3142, you can make a smart, sporty outfit for women: a blazer and skort in sizes 48 to 56. This medium-difficulty sewing pattern is supplied in an envelope and is ideal if you enjoy dressmaking with clear shape and practical details.

A versatile blazer and skort set

The loose-fitting, unlined blazer has a notch collar, patch pockets, two-piece sleeves, a back vent and length variations. The fitted skort has an asymmetric front, back waist darts, an invisible side zip and length variations. Together, they make a stylish set you can wear as a coordinated outfit, or separately with other wardrobe favourites.

Useful sewing details

Seam allowances are included at 1.5 cm unless stated otherwise, so you can get started more quickly. The instructions are in English and French.

Fabric suggestions

Choose fabrics with a bit of structure for the best result, such as crepe, gabardine, medium-weight stretch woven fabrics, ponte or twill. For sections C and D, you will need lining fabric, and a light fusible interfacing is suitable for the finish. If you are shopping for fabric by the metre, this pattern works beautifully with a range of dressmaking fabric qualities.

Who is this pattern for?

Simplicity 3142 is a good choice if you want a practical yet polished project with a sporty feel. It suits sewists with some experience who are looking for a neat, modern result and enjoy making women’s clothing with thoughtful details.
