Translation dutch : "knip patroon" or "naai patroon" or "sjabloon" meaning : a chart to cut tissue to make a garment and to sew assemble the garment Litterla translation knippen = to cut naaien = to sew or to stitch patroon = pattern sjabloon = template What is the correct english term ? Can someone point me in the right direction of online sewing templates/ patterns or whatever they are called for or images thereoff - 3 and 5 button waist coats - argyle braemar and or crail jackets ( single and 3 button where applicable) - tweed day jackets ( 3 and 5 button ) Derek
The usual term in English is just a pattern or sewing pattern. I'm not aware of anyone who has a complete pattern for Argyle/Braemar/Crail style jackets. But if you have experience making jackets, it should be easy enough to modify standard cut jackets to a Scottish kilt cut style. Waistcoat patterns seem to be everywhere. One source I remember as having several waistcoat and jacket/coat patterns (though not specifically the ones you're looking for) is Reconstructing History.
There used to be a Simplicity Pattern # 5029 for a kilt jacket and kilt. The kilt portion was a total abomination and suitable only for a Halloween costume but I successfully made a jacket using it. Sadly this pattern has been out of print for many years. You can sometimes find a copy but will need to do a little searching. There is a pattern for a Prince Charlie Coatee by Folkwear but like all Folkwear patterns it is pretty basic. If you can find a copy of "The Cutters' Practical Guide" Vol. 8 it has, not what would be called a pattern by today's standards, but a good guide to the basics. If it were me I would find any good man's suit coat pattern and modify it for the shorter length. This would mean raising the bottom of the lapels, moving the buttons and pockets up and adding the cut-away for the sporran. If you do decide to go this way make sure that you use a pattern with double rear vents and full floating sewn in interfacing. Skip any jacket pattern that uses fusible interfacing.
