Make a Jacket

Step 1Choose a jacket pattern that you like, and that has any features you need, such as a hood or pockets.
Step 2Buy fabric for the jacket, following the guidelines on the pattern envelope for how much fabric you need and what type to use.
Step 3Buy fabric for the lining of the jacket, if needed. Lining fabrics are usually lightweight, such as polyester or mesh (for nylon jackets), or even silk or satin for dress jackets.
Step 4Buy thread that matches the fabric, as well as any other needed materials listed on the pattern envelope, such a zipper, separating zipper, buttons, or interfacing. Fleece jackets and windbreakers tend to use zippers, while more dressy jackets tend to use buttons or just belts.
Step 5Cut out the pattern pieces for the jacket, using the cutting line for the size you need. Most jacket patterns already include extra room for wearing the jacket over other clothing, but if you plan to wear the jacket over a sweater or bulky winter clothing you may want to make the jacket a size bigger than normal.
Step 6Smooth out the patterns. You may want to iron them with a cool (low-temperature) iron to get out the all the wrinkles and make the patterns more accurate.
Step 7Follow the cutting guide in the pattern directions to pin the patterns to the fabric and cut out the pieces. If the jacket has several different options (such as an optional hood or several collar choices), make to sure to cut only the pieces you need.
Step 8Follow the directions that came with the pattern to sew the pieces of the jacket together.
