McCall Misses' Jackets and Vest Pattern — Sizes 14–22, Button-Front Jackets & Lined Sherpa Vest

McCall's Misses' Jackets and Vest pattern offers loose-fitting, button-front jackets and a vest with yokes, multiple panels, and three length options for custom outerwear sewing.

This pattern (McCall) supplies printed pieces and step-by-step instructions to create easy-to-wear jackets and a vest in women’s sizes E5 (14–22). Designed for woven fabrics such as denim, twill, cotton blends, chino and tapestry for contrast B, the designs include details like flaps, welt pockets, contrast yokes and purchased trim. The pattern notes allowance for nap, one-way designs or shading and recommends extra fabric for matching patterns or pre-shrinkage.

What styles and design details are included in this pattern?

The envelope contains three main garment variations: two jacket views (A and B) and a vest (C), each with distinct trims and construction options. View A and D feature flaps; View B includes welt pockets, contrast yokes, under sleeves and middle front/back panels; View C is lined with Sherpa underlining for warmth and texture.

• Button-front closure on jackets and vest
• Yokes, side-front and back panels for shaping
• Flaps on A and D; welt pockets and contrast pieces on B
• Underlining option C with Sherpa for added structure

Which fabrics and notions work best for these jackets and the vest?

Choose midweight woven fabrics that hold structure—denim, twill, chino and cotton blends are ideal. For View B contrasts, tapestry or purchased trim creates a tailored look, while Sherpa underlining for View C adds loft and warmth without bulk.

• Main fabrics: denim, twill, chino, cotton blends
• Contrast: tapestry for View B or coordinating woven trims
• Underlining: Sherpa for View C to add texture and insulation
• Notions: buttons, purchased trim, thread, interfacing as instructed

How does sizing and fabric planning affect cutting and sewing?

The pattern is graded for size E5 covering 14–22; refer to the printed pattern pieces for specific cutting layouts. Because the instructions allow for nap, one-way designs or shading, you may need extra yardage to match directional prints or plaids and to account for shrinkage if prewashing the fabric.

• Sizes included: E5 (14, 16, 18, 20, 22)
• Check layout for nap/one-way design before cutting
• Allow extra fabric for pattern matching or prewash shrinkage
• Follow provided interfacing and underlining notes for structure
