Find Your Perfect Fit

The Perugia Peplum Blazer and Pants Suit Sizing Guide is based on the suggested design & wearing ease for this style. You can also choose the size according to your desired finished garment measurements, blending between sizes as needed. Measure the printed patterns to make sure the dimensions are according to the desired fitting and adjust if needed before cutting the fabric. For best results, sew a test garment in a similar fabric to adjust your pattern.

*The pants leg includes 4 inches to make them floor-length for standard (regular) sizes when worn with heels. You can adjust the length according to your preference or needs. To maintain a floor-length look, reduce 2 inches for petite sizes and add between 3 and 5 inches for tall sizes.

Note: Always read all the instructions before cutting the fabric!

How to Sew The Perugia Peplum Blazer and Pants Suit

The instructions provided below are designed to guide you through sewing the Perugia Peplum Blazer and Pants Suit from start to finish.

3 Tips for Sewing with Brocade

⇒ Find a way to seal the raw edges of the seam allowance throughout the garments. Brocade will fray like crazy and your garments will last so much longer if you serge the raw edges, or even finish them with a zigzag stitch or a french seam.

⇒ This part is totally up to you, but since this fabric designed in such a way that parts of it are printed and parts of it are solid, you may want to plan out ahead of time where you want to put your pattern pieces on the fabric so that they floral design is distributed evenly throughout the garment.

⇒ Use a fresh needle before this project because brocade has a tendency to pull and get caught on tiny nicks in the needle.

HOW TO SEW A PEPLUM BLAZER

Step 1 

BLAZER DARTS

1. Mark the darts on the wrong sides of the front blazer pieces with tailor’s chalk.
2. Fold the front blazer pieces right sides together and pin down the darts.
3. Iron the darts open and flat toward the side seams of the blazer.
4. Repeat these steps for both lining and main fabric pieces.

Step 2

BACK PANEL

1. Pin and sew the center back seam right sides together.
2. Lay the back side pieces right sides together against the sides of the back center pieces.
3. Pin and sew the back side pieces to the back center pieces along the curved edges.
4. Repeat these steps for both the main fabric and the lining.

Step 3

PEPLUM DARTS

1. Mark the darts on the wrong side of the peplum pieces.
2. Fold the peplum pieces right sides together and pin the dart.
3. Sew the dart down.
4. Iron the dart open and flat toward the side seams.
5. Repeat these steps for both the main fabric and the lining.

Step 4

BACK PEPLUM

1. Sew the center back peplum piece right sides together down the center back seam.
2. Place the side back pieces right sides together with the center back pieces. 
3. Pin and sew the side back pieces to the center back pieces.
4. Iron all the seams open and flat.
5. Repeat for both the main fabric and the lining.

Step 5

PEPLUM SIDES

1. Lay the front peplum pieces right sides together with the back peplum piece.
2. Pin and sew the side seams of the peplum.
3. Iron the side seams open and flat.
4. Repeat for both the main fabric and the lining pieces.

Step 6

SEW BODICE

1. Place the front and back bodice pieces right sides together with the shoulders and side seams lined up.
2. Pin and sew the shoulder and side seams.
3. Iron the shoulder and side seams open and flat.
4. Repeat for the main fabric and the lining.

Step 7

ATTACH PEPLUM

1. Place the bottom of the bodice and the top of the peplum right sides together.
2. Pin the peplum to the bodice with the darts and seams lining up with each other.
3. Sew the peplum to the bodice.
4. Repeat for both the main fabric and lining.

Step 8

WELT POCKETS

1. Mark the welt pockets with tailor’s chalk on the front of the blazer (Note: The pocket welts are aligned vertically with the side seams of the blazer and are 1.5 inches below the seam that connects the peplum to the bodice. This makes the pockets sit at an angle).
2. Fold the welts in half long ways, wrong sides together, and iron the fold.
3. Place the welts so that the raw edges are touching each other inside the rectangle that marks the pocket location.
4. Pin and sew the welts in place along the top and bottom lines of the rectangle marking the pocket.
5. Cut a hole from the wrong side of the blazer that matches the shape of the hole in the third photo below.

Step 9

POCKET BAGS

1. Sew one of the short sides of the pocket bag directly on top of the seam you just sewed to connect the welt to the front of the blazer, right sides together.
2. Sew the other short side of the pocket bag to the seam connecting the lower welt to the front of the blazer, right sides together.
3. Flip the welts and pocket bag so that the raw edges of all the pieces are tucked toward the wrong side of the blazer.
4. Pull the triangular pieces that were cut in the last step toward the wrong side of the blazer (the inside of the jacket) so that they are laying flat against the short sides of the pocket welts and the wrong raw edges of the pocket bag.
5. Sew a straight stitch down both sides of the pocket bags, connecting the top and bottom welt, the triangular flaps, and the pocket bag together.

Step 10

POCKET FLAPS

1. To make two matching pocket flaps, place the pocket flap pieces right sides together.
2. Pin and sew the sides and bottom of the pocket flaps together.
3. Clip the bottom corners of the pocket flaps to make it easier to turn right sides out.
4. Turn the pocket flaps right sides out and press the seams flat.
5. Tuck the raw edge of the pocket flap into the wrong side of the flap and sew it folded shut.
6. Sew a straight stitch over the folded edge to finish the top of the pocket flap.
7. Pin and sew the pocket flaps at an angle directly above the welt pockets.

Step 11

SLEEVES

1. Fold the sleeves in half, right sides together.
2. Pin and sew the sleeve seams shut.

Step 12

ATTACH SLEEVES

1. Pin the sleeve caps into the armscyes of the bodice, right sides together.
2. Sew the sleeves into the bodice (Note: If you find yourself struggling with this part, I recommend sewing a basting stitch around the armscye and the sleeve cap. This way, if the lengths of the openings are not perfectly equal, you can pull on the basting stitch a little bit to make them fit snuggly with each other).
3. Repeat for both the lining and main fabric.

Step 13

CLOSE BLAZER FRONT

1. Place the lining inside of the main fabric blazer right sides together.
2. Line up the front opening of the blazer and pin the lining to the main fabric around the entire front.
3. Sew the front of the blazer together.
4. Flip the blazer right sides out and iron the lining so that it doesn’t show from the right side of the blazer.

Step 14

FINISH SLEEVES

1. Reach into the bottom hem of the blazer between the shell and the lining pieces.
2. Reach down the sleeve and grab the raw edges of the lining and main fabric at the bottom of the sleeve.
3. Pinch the lining and main fabric together between your fingers so that they are right sides together.
4. Pull the sleeves out through the bottom of the blazer and place a pin where you were pinching the fabric.
5. Pin around the rest of the sleeve, attaching the lining and main fabric right sides together.
6. Sew around the entire edge of the sleeve hem along the pinned edge.
7. Pull the sleeve right sides out back through the arm hole.
8. Iron the sleeve opening so that the lining is hidden inside of the main fabric at the wrist.
9. Repeat for both sleeves.

Step 15

BLAZER HEM

1. Flip the blazer inside out.
2. Pin along the entire bottom hem of the blazer, connecting the lining to the main fabric.
3. Line up the seams of the lining with the seams of the main fabric.
4. Leave a 6 inch hole at the bottom of the hem where the hem will NOT be sewn.
5. Sew along the entire bottom edge of the hem, EXCEPT for along the 6 inch hole.
6. Flip the blazer right sides out through the hole in the hem.
7. Iron the bottom hem so that the lining is hidden inside of the main fabric of the blazer.
8. Hand sew the hole closed in the hem using a ladder stitch.

Step 16

HOOK & EYE CLOSURE

1. Hand sew the eye piece of the hook and eye closure to the front of the blazer on top of the seam that connects the peplum to the jacket. Make sure to try on the blazer at this stage to make sure that the eye piece is sewn in a spot where the waistline of the blazer will be fitting along your own waist.
2. Hand sew the hook piece of the hook and eye closure to the inside (lining side) of the blazer, opposite to the hook piece. The hook and eye closure pieces should line up with each other so that the seam connecting the peplum to the jacket lines up on both sides of the front opening.

Step 17

POCKET FACINGS

1. Fold the long diagonal edges of the pocket facings towards the wrong side of the fabric by ½ inch.
2. Iron the folded edge down.
3. Top stitch pocket A facings to the A pockets and pocket B facings to the B pockets with ⅛ inch seam allowance.

Step 18

PIN TUCKS

1. Place the front center and front side pants pieces right sides together.
2. Pin and sew a straight stitch along the center front seam to connect the two front pieces.
3. Open up the seam and iron it flat.
4. Fold the front pants legs wrong sides together along the seam you just sewed.
5. Sew along the folded seam with ⅛ inch seam allowance so that the total amount of fabric taken in at the front pintuck is ½ inch.
6. Open the front pants legs, iron the seam open, and press the pin tuck toward the side seams.
7. Repeat all these steps for the pintuck on the back pant legs, except with the back pintuck pressed toward the back crotch seam.

Step 19

FAUX WELT

1. Mark the welt location with tailor’s chalk.
2. Fold faux pocket A in half long ways, right sides together.
3. Pin and sew faux pocket A to the bottom line of the chalk mark with the raw edge of the welt lined up with the center line of the chalk mark.
4. Pin and sew faux pocket B right sides together with the main fabric on the top line of the chalk mark.
5. Cut a hole through the main fabric on the back pants piece that matches the hole in the photo below.
6. Flip all the welt and faux pocket pieces into the wrong side of the fabric, being sure to tuck the triangular flap from the hole you just cut into the wrong side of the fabric as well.
7. Pin and sew the faux pocket to the seam allowance on the bottom chalk mark that connects the pocket welt to the pants.
8. Pin and sew the sides of the pocket shut, being sure to catch the faux pocket, the pocket welt, and the triangular flap of the back of the pants all in the seam.

Step 20

ATTACH POCKETS

1. Place the pockets A against the front pants pieces, right sides together.
2. Pin and sew pockets A to the front pants pieces, being sure only to sew down to the point on the pocket bag where it begins to straighten out with the pants.
3. Repeat these same steps with pocket B and back pants pieces.

Step 21

SIDE SEAMS

1. Place the front pants pieces on top of the back pants pieces right sides together with the pockets and side seams perfectly overlapping each other.
2. Pin and sew around the perimeter of the pocket bag and the side seam of each leg, being sure to leave a 6 inch gap on the bottom of the pant leg that is unsewn to leave room for the side slit.
3. Finish raw edges of the side seams and slits with a serger or zigzag stitch.

Step 22

TOPSTITCH POCKETS

1. Iron the side seams of the pant legs so that the pockets lay flat and towards the front of the pants.
2. Pin and sew the top of the pocket bags to the waistline on the pants to hold them in place for the rest of the sewing process.

Step 23

BACK CROTCH SEAM

1. Place the two sides of the pants right sides together with the crotch seams lined up in the back.
2. Pin and sew the back crotch seam together.

Step 24

LINING PANTS

1. To put the pants lining together, the steps are the same as above, except without the pintucks.
2. Make sure to leave the front crotch seam and inseam open on the pants lining for now.
3. Place the lining pants inside of the main fabric pants, wrong sides together, aligned at the waistline.

Step 25

FRONT CROTCH SEAM

1. Pin and sew the front crotch seams together for the lining and main fabric pants separately, being sure to leave a gap on the top of the crotch seam so that there is room to insert the zipper.

Step 26

ZIPPER FLY

1. Fold the fly shield in half, long ways, right sides together.
2. Place the two fly facing pieces against each other, wrong sides together.

5. Pin and sew the zipper face down onto the fly facing, as shown in the photo below.
6. Pin and sew the other side of the zipper to the wearer’s left side crotch seam.
7. Place the fly shield on top of the zipper on the wearer’s left side of the crotch seam and sew it into place.
8. Close the zipper and topstitch the fly facing to the wearer’s right side of the pants without catching the fly shield in the seam.

Step 27

INSEAM

1. Pin and sew the front and back inseams together, being sure that the crotch seams are aligned in the center. 
2. Repeat for both the main fabric and the lining.

Step 28

LEG SLIT

1. Fold the serged edge of the leg slit towards the inside of the pants.
2. Top stitch the folded edge of the leg slit with ¼ inch seam allowance to hide the serged edge on the inside.

Step 29

BELT LOOPS

1. Fold each individual belt loop piece long ways, right sides together.
2. Sew or serge two of the open edges, making a tube with an open end.
3. Use a tube turner to turn the tubes right sides out.
