Elbe Textiles Sewing Pattern - Solberg Jacket (Gender-Neutral)
About the Solberg Jacket
The Solberg Jacket is an elevated layering piece, designed for woven fabric.
Both views have a relaxed fit with a drop shoulder and 3/4 length sleeves. The back has pleats opening up at the waist and the front features topstitched seamlines. The opening of the jacket is finished off with a facing, topstitched in place. This pattern can also be considered as a gender-neutral design.
View A is a plain front, while View B has an additional asymmetrical panel that closes with straps and a D ring closure.
It’s recommended to make a toile first in an inexpensive fabric to work out any fitting alterations you may need, before cutting into your chosen fabric.
