BurdaStyle 11/2018 - 119 Blazer

I loved this blazer from the November 2018 issue and since there is no collar and only fake pockets it is a lot easier to make than you might think.  The buttonhole is in the waist seam so that is easy too.

11/2018 - 119 Blazer


For this version I did things slightly differently and made it from a ponte knit (really only because I have lots and it takes up lots of space in my stash!) and left it unlined.  I also lengthened it as I plan to wear it with jeans or pants and prefer my butt to be covered, with a skirt or dress I think the original pattern length would be better for me.





All the seams were finished together on my serger and then I topstitched to flatten and define the seemliness and edges.

The instructions are to interface the whole front of the jacket, but I decided this was not necessary in my fabric.  I only interfaced the back neck facing, 1 pair of pocket flaps, front peplum facing and the inner front band.  In a lighter suiting material I would use more.




I'm really happy with how this turned out, and dare I say this might be my new TNT blazer pattern.  As I mentioned it is pretty easy to make for a jacket and the clean collarless front mean it can work with lots of different options underneath.

Update since drafting this post.....I've already cut another one in a teal crepe, very similar to the magazine original!

  1. This looks really nice. Good to know this pattern makes up well in ponte.
    Don't quite see point of fake pockets (except they are easier) and wouldn't make a jacket without them. Whenever Burda has fake pockets (or even where there are none at all)I turn them into real ones.

    1. Haha you are right, I am just a bit lazy and also don't really use pockets except in coats. I think it would be easy to add them in here though at the waist seam.

  2. Looking very sophisticated there Allison. The stitching is perfect and the seams so crisp. The length looks great on you with jeans, great move!

  5. Very nice! I once thought a unlined ponte jacket would be clingy but when I finally made one it was an instant favourite. I love the style lines of this pattern!
