Pattern and Instructions: The Final Exam Blazer
Your graduation project for the 2024 Charm School curriculum is a closely-fitted, unlined knit blazer with bias bound edges (and optional interior seam binding and elbow patches, for extra credit).
The Final Exam Blazer has a slightly-shrunken silhouette, front and back princess seams, patch pockets, and a two-piece tailored sleeve. It’s a preppy classic with a vintage fit!
I’m so proud of all the hard work you’ve put into this year, and I am excited to see all of your creations. Cheers to the 2024 Charm School graduating class!

what skirt is worn with the blazer?
Would make a great hogwarts prefect cosplay or costume!
😍😍😍 The interior of this jacket is so aesthetically pleasing!!
Looks nice but a bit like a fitted school blazer. Its not for me, I prefer longer and semi fitted jackets. Tailored is even better!
Am I the only one who's disappointed that it's a knit? I have terrible experiences with knit blazer,s after one or two times wearing them they always lose the crisp look that make blazers so nice and become incredibly frumpy. I would have much preferred a woven blazer with a lining
Have you thought about upgrading your fabrics? I have a slightly stretchy blazer from Anthropologie that looks tailored but is my favorite
😍😍😍
It’s KNIT!!! Even more in love!!
Same!!! It means it'll make up nice and quick!
Um I LOVE it 😍
Super cute!!!!!!!
Wahoo - I guessed right! Love this, lovely shape… 💖 And those 💖 elbows!!! I actually thrifted a gorgeous princess seamed pink jacket yesterday that’s 2 sizes too big and was thinking I’d like to use a pattern to remake it instead of trying to alter it. It’s a woven so I’ll need to upsize the pattern but think this will be a perfect match for the design! 🤩
Darn it… 😢 Realised the princess seams go into the arms not the shoulders on my jacket. Never mind, I think I’ve some Ponte I can use. 😜
You are definitely daring me to do a Fem 11th Doctor cosplay.
This blazer plus the bow tie?? Do it!
Super cute!! The heart elbow patch is chef's kiss .
I’ve been waiting for this pattern! Thanks for making it!!!!
Truly awesome, I am thrilled! 🎉🥂 ideal complement to many outfits and good for winter weather. Thank you Gertie!
Love this!!! ❤️
I was hoping for a blazer and I’m so happy it’s in a knit. Now I have something nicer than a cardigan as an option when the weather is cooler
Super cute! I love the heart patched elbows 💜💜
I was hoping for a blazer and I’m even more thrilled that it’s a knit!!!
Same!! Long live the knits!! I was telling a friend on Saturday if it wasn't a blazer then they wasted the charm school theme since a blazer is like the pinnacle of school attire.
