Pattern printed of the Ibis bomber jacket by Instinct Couture (size 32 to 48)

The Ibis Bomber is a decidedly feminine jacket with its V-neck 
This bomber is fully lined and has the features typical of its kind, namely, it is zipped and has ribbing at the neckline, cuffs, and waistband.
Thus, it has a so-called balloon cut, the ribbing at the waist creating a blousing effect.
It can be worn both as a mid-season jacket or as a cardigan for colder weather.

 By sewing the Ibis, you will learn to:
       Sew a lined jacket
       Sew a separating zipper
       Sew ribbing

For this bomber, mainly consider your bust measurement. The ribbing at the waist allows you to disregard the hip measurement.

If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size.

Supplies

For all sizes:

• 130 cm of fabric (140 cm wide)
• 130 cm of lining (140 cm wide)
• 60 cm of ribbing (70 cm wide)

Recommended fabrics

This bomber can be sewn in both non-stretch fabrics, such as upholstery fabrics (velvet, jacquard), or stretch fabrics such as fleece or sweatshirt fabric. It is designed to be sewn in fabrics with body; the result will differ with soft fabrics. For the lining, we recommend a non-stretch fabric like polyester to allow your arms to slide easily into the sleeves.

Level: 3/5

Time: 3/5

This bomber is accessible to motivated beginners who have already sewn a few garments; it is also preferable to master sewing stretch fabrics (ribbing). But by following the instructions, you should achieve a lined bomber with great finishes without too much difficulty.
