 Hello Nehzat,

Thank you very much for your very detailed instructions on sewing; I have learned so much in very little time.  I love tailored jackets and will like to make them but I am not sure how to proceed from the block bodice pattern.  Can you give me some direction please?

Thanks very much.

Linda

Re: Adjusting the Bodice Block for a Jacket

 Dear Linda,

Thanks so much for the kind words. We will be making a lesson in the future covering this topic.
However to convert the bodice block pattern into a jacket pattern you need to make it larger along the side seams, widen the shoulder seams at the armholes, widen the armpit on the front and back at the armholes and lower the armhole at the top of the side seams.

Happy sewing, 

Nehzat
