Sewing Level
The Suraya Jacket is designed for precise intermediate to advanced level sewers.
Fabric Suggestions
We recommend medium weight woven fabrics with drape for the Suraya Jacket, such as linen, viscose linen, and certain mid weight crepes and twills. You could also use some lightweight wool suitings. We recommend avoiding anything crisp-feeling or with a lot of structure. For the lining we recommend lightweight wovens with a silky finish, as the lining will help the sleeves to slide on and off easily. Choose satin, acetate, or even silk charmeuse for all-out luxury.

Fabric Requirements
The Suraya Jacket sewing pattern is sized between UK sizes 6-30. The pattern is split into two different blocks, sizes 6-20 (B cup) and sizes 18-30 (D cup). See the chart for details on fabric requirements.
Like all our patterns, the sizes are nested to make it easier to grade between the sizes, depending on your measurements.
What will I receive?
The downloadable pattern file contains:
- printable pattern (in both tiled print-at-home and copyshop format)

The Suraya Jacket pattern is either 39 A4 pages, 42 US letter pages, or 2 A0 copyshop page (sizes 6-20), or 48 A4/US letter pages, or 2 A0 copyshop page (size 18-30).

So what is a PDF pattern?
A PDF pattern is a downloadable pattern that you print yourself at home on A4 or US letter paper. Alternatively you can choose to have the copyshop files printed on large A0 paper, and posted to you at home. If you’re using the A4 or US letter options, simply download, print at home, tape together and let the sewing begin! When you print the pattern, print at 100% (you might have to uncheck the scale box). Print page 1 first, the square should measure 10cm x 10cm.
