Closet Core - Paper Sewing Pattern - Blanca Flightsuit

Blanca Flight Suit Sewing Pattern by Closet Core

The Blanca Flight Suit is a highly customisable, vintage-inspired boiler suit that offers endless styling options. With a semi-fitted design, it features a center front zipper, functional patch pockets that double as belt loops, and a classic shirt collar. The pleated back adds comfort and style, while the choice of sleeves, long, short, or tapered with snap buttons; lets you make it your own.

The straight leg can be cropped, tapered at the hem with leg tabs, or left as is for a relaxed look. Customize your flight suit with either a breast patch pocket or a zippered pocket for extra detail. Whether you make it in denim, cotton twill, or linen, this pattern is as versatile as it is stylish.
