I love how when you make mistakes you show us how to fix them. It makes us feel more confident when we mess up because we know things aren't always perfect and you have shown us how to fix it already. Thank you.

I made my own peacoat! This isn't the easiest item to make, so to keep it simple I didn't include the lining or collar on purpose. Someday when I'm feeling ready we'll go through the whole deal :) Until then, stay warm!

I didn't understand any of this but it's still fun to watch

okay but how did you know I just bought some recycled wool yesterday and needed a tutorial?? I LOVE YOU

I can't sew but I really like watching your videos :)

The best things about your video is the fit and finish! It's always so clean and crisp, very professional looking!

No pockets? I think I would definitely add pockets and a lining. And a collar to turn up in the wind. A slippery lining (like satin) helps to slide your arms into the sleeves especially when you wear a sweater or something- the sweater and woolly coat fabric won't slide against eachother because they both have so much texture.

I'm sooo amazed everytime. I'm good at making stuff but that's some next level work! Wow

I love this! A color blocked version would slay!

I absolutely refuse to watch anybody else seeing video when learning something new because not only are your videos aestheticly pleasing but they are just easyly explained and the quality is amazing

I never cease to be astounded by how great your pieces turn out. They're perfect.

Hey, Wendy, this is a great tutorial! I have a suggestion regarding the sleeves, though. With set in sleeves like this, you might consider sewing down the side seams of both the body and the sleeve, then turning the body inside out and slipping the sleeve inside to sew it on. The reason for this is that it will allow you to ease in the extra length on the curved part of the sleeve, which allows for more ease of movement in your shoulders when you wear it. It also allows the seam to sit a little flatter in the armpit, which is a little more comfortable in my opinion. I didn't do this for the longest time, but I really do find that it makes my sleeves much more comfortable (especially in commercial patterns, but in my self-drafted patterns as well). It does make sewing in the sleeve a little more fiddly, but I've found it worth the trouble.

Wendy, today I bought myself my first sewing machine and I used Ur tips to buy that ...I can't wait to try all Ur diys .... Love you so much!

YES! I was looking for a tutorial on a long jacket and was going through your videos, but couldn't find one. But now, here it isssss!! Thank you!

Hi Wendy, I really love your old sewing tutorials. Super easy to follow. Please make more!

I love this. I am plus sized so this is perfect.

Just imagine making this out of an old blanket from the thrift 😍 sustainable and probably like wearing your comforter out 😍

Awwwww I'm diggin the coat! Winter DIY's are essential for all this cold weather!

the ending- with that majestic music and mint asf coat was legit so inspiring I want to make clothes now.

her voice is so soft and so calming woow

your videos are truly great... so perfectly clear, and aesthetically amazing as well. keep up the (really) good work!

the buttons! peacoats are life

Wendy!! That pea coat is totally bad ass!!!! I love it! You are so talented. Thanks for posting this! I am going to give it try!

you make everything seem so simple! I bet it's not as simple as it looks!

OMGGG!! That peacoat looks super COZY Wendy. My kind of style. I liked this video before I even watched it.

Making a lighter one for spring! Loving this-thanks, Wendy!

Thanks, Wendy. It's been a long time since I've made a coat and a long time since I've sewed with a heavier wool. Maybe this is the time to try again. I've moved to an area with more weather so, perfect timing.

Wendy! You are just great! The coat is almost perfect. I'm looking forward to DIY it.

I love the way everything you teach is customizable :)

I LOVE peacoats! Thanks so much for this diy!

I don't watch your videos necessarily with the intention to do a similar project, but rather because they are just so nice, well put together, you make beautiful things, and it's just nice to see something come together from nothingness like this. But I'll admit I do try to take it all in for some future reference ;) Love your videos, subscribed yesterday.

can i just say that you're freaking talented??? i can't sew but i love to watch your videos cause you make the clothes look like they were bought off the rack! amazing, really. oh, and just wanted to add that you have a very soothing voice and i love how you add some sound effects (that are not overdone) to your videos :D

This is gorgeous and I love ALL your tutorials! I would really love for you to do a waterfall coat tutorial. :)

Awesome tutorial! Definitely bookmarking it to try out over the holidays! 😁

a month ago I followed a tutorial to make a cape and it turned out pretty awesome so this month I want to take it to the next step and make a coat AND GOD I love this video, for someone as ignorant as me when it comes to this, it's just so helpful and awesome!!!!!! I love the clarity in the instructions v=because every other video made it sound like rocket science and that would immediately make me believe there's no hope for me to recreate it. just one thing, I don't understand how you used a jacket as a pattern like I've never seen anyone do it so It would've been cooler if you included that detail in the video. everything else is just perfect! thank you so much for doing this. YOU JUST EARNED A TOP FAN

awesome tutorial! would totally love to make this but the thought of doing it literally terrifies me! lol! keep up the awesome videos :)

I just found your channel! Thank you so much for all of the tutorials!

Thank you so so much for this tutorial! I'm a plus sized being, so it's extremely difficult for me to find anything that actually has a nice style and that doesn't cost more than an average sized article of clothing. DIYing helps me out so much because not only can I make things in my size, but I can also make them with the frills and designs that I feel comfortable with and don't feel frumpy in. =) Finding coats, especially peacoats, has been the most difficult kind of clothing to find in a price range I can afford; and for that reason I still don't have one. But I'm really excited to be inspired to make one because I never really even considered it since it seemed so difficult! So thank you so much for this tutorial. All of your tutorials are so, so helpful!!

the editing on this is so cute

Absolutely love this peacoat that was awesome

Wow! Loved this! Can’t wait to make my own!

I didn't know I wanted to make this until I saw that you made it 😍😍

love this Ms Wendy... you are such an inspiration! maybe I'll try this one soon 😀

It's gorgeous Wendy! I'm going to make one in blush for winter 😍😗❤

Thank you for yet another great tutorial! You work so hard, and we the viewers appreciate you so much. I'd like to make a request. You use a lot of your existing clothing to trace new patterns with. Could you please do a tutorial on how to trace your sweaters/coats? Thank you again, Wendy! You rock!

You are great - do a great job - so stylish and simple. You inspire us so much. Love

your new theme/style is rlllllly cool 💓

you're my fav diy sewer 💕

omg this diy is amazing!!!! you have magical hands ❤️ my sewing skills are non existent... can you just make me a peacoat? 😆💕

Wow! I love those shoes too! I need to make me a pair of those. You're so talented!

The extra fabric from the sleeve was probably there due to easing, but your jacket turned out great without it! It's just so you have extra room in the armhole. Great tutorial wendy!

This is so beautiful!

love! Very helpful, one day I'll make this and customise it!

YAS IT LOOKED SO COOL!

Hi Wendy!! Love love love your channel. I've just started sewing so this is the "holy grail" for me. I just wanted to as if you cant use the blind hem stitch on the lining part of the coat to avoid it lifting when the wind blows since the jacket does not have a zip or buttons? Whats your advise on that? Thanks!! xoxo

Super cute! Such a inspiration. Looking forward to trying this :)

i wish there was a way for me to subscribe more than once because I love your videos so much!!!! love you Wendy!!!!!!!!

That is amazing I love it!!

Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is indah, i'm 17 y.o. I'm from indonesia. Last night i open youtube app and search about sew and diy. I found your video and play it (this video) I amazed with your sew cause i never think how make outfit with quick tutorial. As you know, i love sewing a years ago. This time i'm still studying about sewing and fashion design. I really thank you for your tutorial video cause that give me motivation and inspiration:) I hope you always give your the best about the outfit trend by video tutorial cause i subscribe this. Thank you

You'r amazing, I love your easy tutorials 😍😍

Ohhhh!!!! I love this I'm going to try it!!!

subscribed! Love your easy clear tutorial.

wow this actually looks like it wouldnt be too difficult making. Makes me wanna make one to match my beret.

I've been watching your videos and I can't even sew hahaha I love looking at the process as much as the finished product!! If you don't mind me asking, what font did you use for the "diy peacoat" at 5:20? Thanks Wendy! ✨💜

You are seriously AHMAZING!

So early :) I love the color and wow, it seems so doable!!! Although I'm not so sure whether if I'd actually do it :-0

Hi Wendy! I recently saw all these posts about some velvet gymshorts from Brandy Melville and I fell completely in love with them. Unfortunately they are sold out and I can't find any dupes. I was wondering if maybe you could show us how to make some (velvet) gymshorts so we can make them at home :) x

awesome. you made it look simple. thanks. I enjoyed

I love your tutorial! Thanks for adding. Do you know if this coat can be made from craft felt/polyester felt with a polyester lining added? I am looking for a warm alternative that is not as costly as wool.

What I really miss in all those DIY-sewing videos is the ironing board. Ironing is essential for fitting clothes.

WOW! Awesome tutorial..I'll have to watch this several times before I can get the construction of it. Thanks for sharing! Xo ohhh where'd you get the fabric?

You had excess material on the sleeve because it is meant to be set in. There is in average about 1/2" to 2" of ease built into a sleeve cap to allow for the mobility of the shoulder socket. Your sleeve installation method varies depending on the type of garment (amount of ease). I love the action/t-shirt method of installing a sleeve that you used but it isn't really meant for all sleeve types. I suspect you will feel more restricted in the shoulders when wearing this coat vs the original. See attached: www2.ca.uky.edu/agcomm/pubs/fcs2/fcs2807/fcs2807.pdf

looks great!

Very nice work!

Hi! Great tutorials! Do you have to have special considerations for your sewing machine when working with wool? needle, tension, etc?

Awesome tutorial. But it's 33 degrees celsius where I am. Not peacoat weather.

I was thinking a navy blue shorter one with gold buttons looks super nice

looks so pretty i make most of my clothes too but never attempted a jacket you made it look so simple 😁i migh try love your chanel 💕😘have good thanksgiving

Oooh! Love this pea-coat design . . . you have the greatest stuff on your channel Wendy! Super duper awesome ideas . . . btw have you any sewing projects for ultra-beginners? If ever you have an open class info session I'd love to attend as I am in TO as well. Thanks for the great videos Wendy. All the bestest from Leona on Bloor Westest!!!

perfection

That's so cool

Hi. Great tutorial! I want to use a wool blanket to make some type of coat/cloak. What do I need to consider for my sewing machine, needle, etc. when working with thick wool? Thanks!

I love your channel!

so awesome!!!

love this video! if i wanted to add a huge witch ish hood on this type of coat how would i do that? i've been looking all over the internet and i can't find it anywhere!!! could you help me please?

literally found your channel today and i love your diy's but is there any way to transform some of the diy's to accommodate guys?

Awesome video!

hey, here's a suggestion: you should add (at the beginning or at the end of the video) like two boxes where you put how much you spend in total of time and money, it would help a lot to measure how much i would take haha. nice video btw, i loved how it turned yours.

mrc

Thank you for sharing!

You're the best! Greetings from México

I love this I wish I know how to make a pattern

What sewing machine do you use? I would like to buy a new one but have no idea what to go for? love your videos, I learn so much watching them, thanks.

You're awesome!❤️

Hey Wendy I love your channel, very inspiring! so I have the same sowing machine that you have :) and I wanted to know where did u purchased the blind hem foot? and what stitch did you used to achieve it.? Hugs from Jenge!

Great video you're very inspiring

I only have issues with lining, especially at the bottom and corners. Sewing them is my problem... I’ll have to keep rewatching that part til I get it. 😄🙏

This coat would look great with one back slit instead of the two side slits too!

I hate watching your videos because they are so good and they make me want to sew right now 😢 but I can't 😍😘 I love you Wendy

I Love your videos!
