This is a PDF sewing pattern from Birgitta Helmersson, that uses zero waste pattern cutting and comprises of instructions to draw shapes directly onto your fabric. With the exception of some small printable templates, there are no large pattern pieces to print out and tape together. The cutting plan/templates document for the ZW Bell Jacket requires printing of 11 pages in A4/US Letter Paper.

The ZW Bell Jacket is an oversized jacket with a rounded collar, front button closure, 3 front patch pockets, an inverted box pleat at the centre back neck, and wide sleeves that are perfect for fitting all of your winter layers underneath. The Bell jacket gets it’s name from the bell shaped sleeve, created with several darts sewn into the hem of the sleeve. This jacket is fully lined.

There are 2 size options for this jacket with slight design variations between each. The size TWO has 2 panels at the centre back body and has more of a dropped shoulder than the size ONE. For measurements, please swipe for size charts.

This pattern links embedded into the PDF Instruction booklet taking you to to online tutorials with colour images, to help with most of the more involved sewing instructions.  It also comes with 2 hack options, a shirt with a square collar and a quilted version, un-lined. Both of these have online tutorials for the extra steps.
