Making the Black Jacket from The Queen's Gambit + PATTERN

This is a technically much harder garment than the gingham dress from my last video. But I had MUCH better luck with the pattern, right off the back, which provided me with enough motivation to get this sewn up over the course of two afternoons. 

I had a few little mistakes with the collar, but I got that sorted out and ended up with a pretty lovely garment, if I do say so myself!

The pattern is attached if any of you would like to try your hand at it - I made a few tweaks, like fixing the collar width so it doesn't have to be eased to the neckline. And extending the facing so it fully covers the buttonholes even when hemmed by 1/4". 

Much like with the last pattern, this is made to be printed on 8 1/2" by 11" paper. It should print properly without any adjusting, but there is a 1" square on the first page. I'd recommend printing that page on its own first, and using a ruler to measure the square to make sure it prints properly before investing in printing the entire pattern! It may take some fiddling with the default printing margins on your printer.

Let me know if you have any questions! :)
