I AM Patterns - Mira Vest (New Packaging)

About Mira 

Most paper I AM patterns are size 36-46.  They offer a larger size range in PDF. 

Mira is an oversized sleeveless jacket that comes in a range of options depending on the fabrics you choose. It's fully lined and can be fastened with buttons or a zip. It can be finished at the neckline with a collar, hood or with a round neckline. There's a choice of 2 pockets: a welt pocket or a large patch pocket. Choose between three length options: hip, below-knee and maxi. All versions have a drawstring at the bottom.

The pattern can be made in 54 versions. The different options are:

• 3 lengths: hip, below-knee, maxi
• 3 pocket options: welt, patch or without pockets
• 3 neckline finishes: with collar, with hood or jewel neckline
• 2 types of fastening: button fastening or zip fastening

In an effort to reduce paper usage some pattern pieces overlap with each other, so you will need to trace the pattern on paper or use Cloth Edit’s Vilene Light.  It is fantastic for tracing patterns, and you can even sew it, which makes it great for fitting.  (Note - the overlapping is neither extensive nor hard to discern).

This pattern is in the NEW packaging which is a white envelope style that's easy to open.
