Tracey is a versatile, unlined, shirt style jacket that effortlessly transitions through the seasons as both an outerwear topper and a layering piece.

Opt for a medium weight woven fabric for spring or autumn, and choose thicker fabrics for the colder months. Keep your hands warm in the roomy self lined patch pockets!

Rich in details and abundant topstitching, this jacket is an ideal project for the intermediate or confident beginner. Key features include a shirt style collar and cuffs, a front placket opening for snaps or buttons, two upper and two lower patch pockets. The back yoke adds a tailored touch. The shirt tail hem, finished with a facing, falls just beyond crotch level, with the back extending slightly longer.

The boxy fit allows ample room throughout, making it easy to wear over other layers.

About Minerva Exclusive Patterns

We are thrilled to be able to bring you Minerva Exclusive Patterns, our very own range of designs, created by sewists for sewists. We have worked with designers, dressmakers and pattern testers from around the world to bring you accessible, wearable designs that you will love to sew and add to your me made wardrobe.

We develop and test each style in two separate size ranges. Size group A-J has a bust range of 78-106cm and is drafted for a dressmakers B cup. Size group K-T has a bust range of 104-150cm and is drafted for a dressmakers D cup.

Minerva Exclusive patterns are available in both traditional paper and PDF digital formats.

Our printed patterns include a beautiful full colour instruction booklet, A0 pattern sheets and a woven label for you to add to your garment.

Our PDF digital patterns are available to download instantly after purchase from your Minerva account. They are not a physical product and you wont receive anything in the post. Our digital patterns include 3 formats. A tiled file that you can print out at home on A4 or US letter paper. An A0 copy shop file, so you can have your pattern printed onto large A0 sheets. A projector friendly file so you can trace your pattern directly onto fabric using a projector (no printing required), plus your instructions. All file types are layered patterns, so you can print all sizes or just the sizes you need and hide the rest. You will need Adobe Reader (free to download) to print at the correct scale.

The instruction booklets include links to inspiration for this pattern from the Minerva community and a top fabric picks video to help you in choosing the right fabric. As well as the instruction booklet, we also include a free sew along video to help guide you through the pattern from start to finish, with lots of helpful hints and tips along the way.
