Schnittchen of the Month – Sewing Pattern Jacket Mona

schnittmuster-mona-futter-1

O.k. I admit September is coming almost to its end and I only now present you the Schnittchen of the Month. I wanted to offer the Jacket Mona, though it was my ambition to develop a lining for jacket. But this had to be adapted and a sample had to be sewn and therefore I present you the Schnittchen of the Month pretty late.

With my Jacket Mona with lining I also would like to join the the Selfish Sewing Week, which was ushered on Monday by Imaginegnats in cooperation with Kollabora. The motto of this wonderful project is self-explanatory this week is all about selfish” sewing projects that – once they are ready – you can upload at Kollabora here. At Imaginegnats you can also win a lot of patterns from independent pattern labels (schnittchen is attending!). As I think this idea is so nice and that you should be very busy sewing for your own this week, I give you the whole week until September 28th a 20% discount on all patterns. Simply enter the coupon code “selfishsewingweekwhen ordering.

For selfish sewing week I am still planing to sew the Pants Lisa. Sophie I have already sewn and I’ll  show you the blouse later this week.

But now back to the Schnittchen of the Month back to sewing pattern Jacket Mona. Lined it is a bit tricky but in the end a really pretty affair! So, whodares” to sew Sewing Patterns Jacket Mona with lining it is now available as pdf-download with any purchase of Sewing Pattern Jacket Mona. Those who want to keep it somehow easier there still is Sewing Pattern Mona without lining. A detailed Sewing Tutorial with photos you may find here.

My jacket Mona is made with a wonderful Viscose Fabric I found at the French online shop AnnaKaBazaar. Great to handle and the jacket turned out quite beautiful. As lining I chose a light blue cotton fabric. While sewing I took pictures of each step and I hope the following Tutorial will help you sewing your lined jacket!

  1. Hello, I just purchased and downloaded this pattern and can’t wait to make it. Such a cute design! I’m so glad you have a tutorial here on your blog. I would like to line my jacket, but don’t see anything in the pattern instructions about cutting and inserting lining. Do I cut the lining pieces same as jacket pieces?

  2. Hallo Silke,

    ich habe vor kurzem das Schnittmuster MONA gekauft und würde gerne die Variante mit Futter nähen. Leider finde ich nicht, wo ich den Futterschnitt herunterladen kann.

    Viele Grüsse, Christina
