AUBURN BLAZER • Pattern
By CASHMERETTE, the Auburn Blazer is a paper sewing pattern.
Garment Details: Finally, a blazer that fits curves! Experience the joy of a classic lined blazer designed specifically for a full bust. Say goodbye to blazers that don’t button up, or are hugely oversized at the shoulders—with Cashmerette's C-H cup sizes and thoughtful design, it's the perfect blazer for curves.
The Cashmerette Auburn Blazer features sleek princess seams, a sophisticated notched collar, and a single button closure. Complete the look with angled welt pockets and two-piece vented sleeves, or go for a cropped length and a clean sleeve finish. Whether sewn in a woven, stretch woven, or stable knit, the Auburn is sure to add polish to your wardrobe and style.
Sizing: This is a multi-sized pattern in US sizes 12-32, includes 40-62” bust and 42–62” hip & three cup sizes (C/D, E/F, G/H). The sizing calculator will tell you exactly which size to make. Finished garment measurements and fabric requirements can be found here.

Fabric Suggestions: Main fabric for woven blazer: Mid- to heavy-weight wovens, such as suiting or tweed, made from wool, linen, or wool blends. Lightweight coating also suitable. Avoid fabrics with a very smooth surface like gabardine, as they will likely shine when pressed.
Main fabric for stretch blazer: Mid- to heavy-weight knit fabric such as stable ponte, or mid-weight stretch wovens such as stretch suiting.
Body lining: If using a non-stretch woven, use a light- weight woven lining such as rayon bemberg or crepe de chine. If using a stretch woven or ponte, use a knit lining for the body, such as ITY or other slick jersey.
Sleeve lining: Light-weight woven lining such as rayon bemberg or or crepe de chine, for both stretch & non-stretch blazers.
Pocket lining: Stable woven such as quilting cotton or shirting.
Interfacing: Mid-weight weft fusible interfacing and mid- weight knit fusible interfacing. Optional: use heavier weight interfacing for pocket welt; fusible horsehair canvas can be used for chest shield interfacing.
Trims required: Matching thread,
Universal (for non-stretch) or stretch needle, hand sewing needle, thread
