Welcome to the first installment of the Tasi Robe and Jacket sewalong. Today, I’m sharing some images of ready-to-wear garments as inspiration for how you can style your Tasi Robe or Jacket. I often find it helpful to see how other people style a certain design and what fabric they select. Looking at RTW is also great inspiration for making variations or hacks to a pattern.

I love how easy it is to adapt the Tasi pattern. Just by changing the proportions of the sleeves, body and pockets, you will have a whole range of garments that you can wear in your everyday life.

More about the Tasi Draft-it-Yourself Robe and Jacket:
This draft-it-yourself pattern will walk you through each step of designing and drafting your own custom fit pattern. You choose the proportions you’d like and we give you the formulas to draft all the pattern pieces. Because you’re starting from scratch, you can make this garment in any size you like for any human body. If you’re not up for doing the calculations yourself, or just want to double check the math, we’ve created a spreadsheet calculator that does the work for you.
View A is a classic robe with patch pockets, a tie belt and carriers. View B is a casual jacket with turned back cuffs, oversized pockets and a hem band. It’s easy to adjust the design of this pattern to suit your personal preferences and we even give you a few ideas for ways you can customize and adapt this pattern.
