Description

The Atenas Jacket is a classic denim jacket. The denim jacket we know and love was released by Levi Strauss in 1953, and since then, the denim jacket remains relatively unchanged. You can’t get more timeless than that. It means once you make the Atenas, you will wear the jacket for years, and it will not go out of style. The Atenas has the classic details of a denim jacket. While you are welcome to implement each and every one of the details (chest pockets with flaps, single-welt pockets, flat-felled seams and topstitching), you are also welcome to simplify and omit those details. Regardless of your preference, the pattern instructions will walk you through every step of the way!

Atenas Jacket features:

• Options for A, B, C, D and DD cups
• Front double princess seams
• Chest pockets with flaps or faux chest pocket
• Front and back yokes
• Optional single-welt pockets
• Optional buttoned side tab at bottom band
• Slightly dropped shoulders
• Two-piece sleeve
• Functional sleeve vent with buttoned cuff
• Layers feature (print only the sizes you need)

Sizes: 00 – 20

Suggested Fabrics

Primary Fabric: Use stable, medium-weight, woven fabric with a crisp drape. Denim, twill, broadcloth are great choices. Keep in mind that if you choose to use flat-felled seams, the fabric can get quite thick, so choose your fabric accordingly if your sewing machine cannot handle thick layers.

Lining: Use a stable, non stretch woven fabric for the lining. Quilting cotton is a great choice. The lining is for the pockets.

Interfacing: Use medium weight fusible woven or weft insertion interfacing.

Notions

• Fourteen (14) (ten (10) if omitting side tabs) 0.67" (17 mm) jean buttons and tool to install them (usually just a hammer)
• Two (2) pieces of 2" by 2" (5 cm x 5 cm) medium weight fusible woven or weft insertion interfacing. No pattern pieces are included; however, the interfacing requirement below covers the amount needed.
• Topstitching thread

Choosing your Size

• Determine your cup size—subtract the circumference of your over bust from the circumference of the fullest part of your bust. If the rounded difference is 1″ (2.5 cm), use A cup; 2″ (5 cm), use B cup; 3″ (7.5 cm), use C cup; 4″ (10 cm), use D cup; 5″ (12.5 cm), use DD cup.
• After determining the cup size, compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Using the corresponding row for your cup, choose the size that best fits your bust. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
• Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size.
• Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are in between sizes, choose the smaller size.
• It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip.
• If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the dress (see instructions for details).
• It is highly recommended that you check your fit by making a test garment with inexpensive fabric that has similar weight as your final garment fabric.
