   Just finished the Smith jacket this morning. Love, love , love it!!!! The instructions ARE a bit tricky in parts but that’s part of Style Arc’s charm. The jacket is amazing in cream linen. I followed Alex Judge Sews YouTube channel for the burrito method yoke and I sewed and topstitched the cuffs to the sleeves before sewing the sleeve seam. The diagram relating to the insertion of the sleeves shows gathering stitches but I didn’t find this necessary with a bit( a big bit) of fiddling. Style Arc, I love you!

   Great jacket! I struggled with the instructions for the placket but I made it work. I made a size 6 and lengthened the body 2 inches and had to make a wider cuff to lengthen the sleeves.

   I made this loose fitting jacket in an olive green 100% linen. It has military vibe to the style and the color suits it. This pattern does have quite a few instructions with pictures included as well as a tutorial posted on the SA website. I think the instructions and tutorial help but not completely, fortunately I am a very experienced sewer so I was able to figure out all the tricky parts eventually. The only adjustment I made was to shortened the sleeves about 2 1/2 inches and the body length 1!/2 inch and the jacket fits perfect in a size 12. I gave it 5 stars because of the styling, the directions I would give a 4. Very fun jacket/shirt for fall! I will make it again for early spring in a mauve linen.

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
