Wendy checking out herself after sewing the collar beautifully and saying, "Oh my gooooooosh" is such a mood.

Oh man as someone who’s watched your channel for more than 6 years, this video was pure JOY to watch! Everything you’ve learned was on display in executing new tasks that are NOT easy (as someone who’s sewed many men’s shirts). The jacket is beautiful and your approach to sewing is so refreshing to watch!

Marla’s gonna grow up and see the fashion trends and ask Wendy “mom, can I have that?” to which Wendy would say “I can do it. Probably better too." Props to you Wendy. You're the GOAT

I don't care about sewing at all. I just watch your videos because I enjoy your personality! I hope all is well!

The coat is great, but I can't concentrate on the video because I've played that flute concerto before and I keep getting distracted 😂😂😂😂😂😅

Marla’s little hello to the camera was the cutest thing!!! The jacket turned out so nicely as well. I hope its ready for the Canadian winter weather

People always say that the main difference in sewing machines is the number of stiches/attachments, etc but in my book the thing that marks the difference between high end and beginner is how quiet the machine is. Your new machine sounds terrific. My beginner level machine sounds so clunky and noisy in comparison!

I had this exact twin quilt in 1981. I think I bought it and matching sheet set at Kmart in Kentucky, where I lived at the time. I was 18 years old and this was my first apartment on my own. So cool seeing it transformed into a coat. Good job. Your daughter is adorable 🥹💕

it turned out so nice!! the pattern on the blanket is so lovely

Your attention to detail is incredible! Adding volume to the side and sleeve, specifically to the back and then paying attention to where the sleeve is gathered at the placket. You make me want to pay more attention to everything when I’m sewing.

WENDY! I don't know how but I thrifted a pillow case with the EXACT SAME flower pattern, which I am using in my own jacket coat 😆wild.

Wooow. I can’t imagine being able to make clothes like this on my own. This is the type of jacket that I would dream of and never afford, and you can MAKE it 😍. The amount of hard work you must have put in to get to this level. 👏🏻👏🏻

I can only aspire to that kind of sewing ability but this is beautiful

Love it! Was kinda hoping you'd have enough quilt to make a jacket for Marla. It'd be soooo cute!

I have a suspicion that Wendy just really wants me to make a blanket coat. Every year I say - this is so cool, I gotta do it - and then life gets in the way, but Wendy reminds me every year. Thank you! I really hope that this year I will get to it

Your channel has helped me realize a more profound appreciation of the process of clothes-making and all the little detailing that goes into it to make a piece look clean and tidy. It isn't easy, but the results are beyond amazing!! You did so good!!!

there is such an expertise in being able to see your favourite clothes/inspo and break them down into parts. that attention to detail about the sleeves! so cool

your whole aesthetic-chic-but-cheeky-vibe is just so inspiring!! I've been in a sewing rut trying to work myself through some shelved stuff and this whole thing is making me excited to get going again. Love the jacket and i'm glad you gave it the runway moment it deserved 🥰

It’s effortlessly chic to wear 😮 I love the delicate pattern and the sleeves are everything

21:53 glad I'm not the only one who does that with my sewing projects 😊

It's been a while since I've watched your channel - I don't plan on missing more! Just love your quiet excitement and energy, as well as willingness to try new things. Thank you for sharing your make of such a fabulous blanket coat! Turned out wonderfully!

a blanket like this would make into a nice warm slip for a long skirt as well. I love remaking things! It lets you be more creative which is quite empowering!

Literally stunning, that quilt was a great find but what you did with it was even better! You inspire me to take my time and do things right with sewing instead of just trying to get it done lol

I love how informative you are with your sewing machine (and just sewing in general) with how much you clearly show your progress and the text bubbles in the bottom left 💚💚💚

Very cute! Marla looks so much like Dan. 😊 have a wonderful day! Christine 🇨🇦

Loved the runway walk Wendy! Your new blanket shacket is a great success. Fun trip to the button shop. AND Marla!!!! YAAAAYYYYY

Genius idea using the already finished blanket edge for the front of your coat!

Simply stunning!!! ✨ It is ro refreshing to see the rare mixture of experienced hability, challenged learning and just good vibes through the whole process. Always a delight to get the chance to see you work. Thank you!

“I have no intention of popping my collar” 😂 love seeing how excited and proud you are with the finished product, it’s beautiful!!

I have curtains with that exact print that my mother made out of bedsheets in the 90s. It must have come from the same bedding set as this quilt. Watching you make this print that is so personally nostalgic for me into a beautiful garment was delightful. I really appreciate how you showed us your drafting process.

I really appreciate you throwing in those little definitions of sewing terms for those of us just dipping our toes into this world! Also just love your videos in general. And BEAUTIFUL COAT!!!

When I draft a pattern if I don't do a mock up I at least have an armhole measurement for sleeveless, sleeves and jackets saved. Reference these to make sure it is correct before cuting things out. Oh and jacket I always draft two sizes bigger in my measurements. If it is an already drafted pattern for a coat or jacket by someone else stick with what thier instructions say.

marla’s facial features make her look SO much like dan!! she’s so cute, i love her little noises 😭

Chefs kiss 😘 There really should be a saying to illustrate a well done sewing project! Bobbins poppin 🤷🏻‍♀️Well done Wendy well done!!

I've clearly been gone for a while. You have a whole beautiful baby! I absolutely love how you walk through your sewing projects. I would have gone on hiatus at the sleeve adjustments. Which reminds me that I have a project to finish. Thanks so much!

I found your channel a few weeks ago. I have enjoyed watching you sew garments and puzzle out the details of finishing them... Which reminds me of my mom so much with all the pieces pinned to their pattern parts and her talking to herself about the mechanics of how she is going to put them together. (We rarely did projects together and I have never constructed a garment on my own, really just modifying things). Then you add these tidbits with your daughter and I am flipped around and remembering my kids (16 and 11) when they were little toddlers loving keys and laughing just like this (there is a reason companies make those plastic key rings... kids really love keys. I let my kids play with my actual keys all the time... only downside was one time my son (who loved putting things inside other things) was playing with my key ring and it disappeared into one of the million containers you could put things into and he couldn't talk. He eventually figured out what we wanted and he brought them to me... but man that story reminds me of how crazy toddlers are!) Thanks for the inspiring memories of being a daughter and a mom to littles, it's the best!

I made a coat years ago in a quilted blue and white toille fabric. I loved it. Recently I was thinking about making another one. You have inspired me to do so! Yours turned out beautifully! Great tutorial!

I've watched a lot of youtube videos recently that they were sponsored by threadup. Your's is the first one that actually inspired me to go check it out. That coat... those shoes... that HAT! Also, that coat! 🤩Talented! And Marlaaa 🥺so cute she hurts my heart.

The thrift flips are back!!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌

Bish I cannot believe you made this omg I need to recreate this ASAP!!!!!! Ugh I’m so in love….. with you, with this piece, the video wow. Thank you for being my inspiration for so so so many years

oh that turned out so beautiful! and sagwa's so cute when she's hanging out with you while you work!

That coat/jacket is absolutely gor-juss!! Off-topic, your daughter is soooo adorable and the cat is cute and funny❣️

I have 3 vintage Bernina 830 Records and 3 930 records in my non-profit sewing school. They are so strong and smooth and I love the quick change feet. I made a quilted coat last winter as a test for a class using the free Mood Fabric Bellis Coat and then donated to a homeless shelter. I will refer my students to this video as a refresher for my class. You are an excellent teacher

That baby was just in your belly!!!! Seeing her talk and walk around is so beautiful 😢❤

I’m not new to you, but my rural European life means that some videos are meaningful, others just a pastime. This one is a masterwork. Anyone, anywhere, at any age could wear this with pride. Your solutions along the way made sense and were easy to understand. It couldn’t be bettered, IMO. Bravissima!

Now that’s a beautiful cozy jacket/coat. Well done Wendy! Love Marla little voice ❤

You did a fantastic job! And it must have been so fun to use the Bernina on the quilted fabric! I was a Home Ec teacher many moons ago and it’s good to see you doing inspirational tutorials. And you’re so low key….ez to watch. Great job making the video…you not only had patience constructing/designing, but setting up the cameras and getting the right shots! Way to go!

Hi Wendy! This is the first video I’ve seen of yours, being new to the sewing side of YT, and it was genuinely one of the best videos I’ve seen in so long, on the whole of YT! Beautiful music, editing and a beautiful piece! So inspired to make my own winter blanket coat!

Ive never watched your videos before and when you mentioned a mini coat for marla I was expecting her to be a pet hahah I was so pleasantly surprised she's the cutest little baby!

aside from the beautiful jacket that you have birthed, marla is the sweetest thing ever i am so in love with her!! she is sooo adorable i can’t get enough of her!! 😭

So amazing! In the 70’s I had that same bed quilt, sheets and curtains! They were a gift from my sister. I loved them so much, the pattern and colors were so pleasing! Amazing to see you up cycling the same quilt here in 2023!!!😮❤

the painter’s tape is kind of a vibe with the pink walls, maybe a nice pistachio green trim would be cute in your sewing room

i feel like pockets with a fuzzy lining on the inside would be sooo nice! especially when it's super cold

The sleeves are so beautiful. The placket and collar content is relatable

I think this is my favorite thing that you've made! You look great in it and the sewing is perfection

Just found your channel. I love your quiet voice and I learn so much just watching how you address potential problems as you encounter them. I also enjoy watching you interact with your precious baby and even the cat.

I love this! As a beginner sewer, every time I watch your channel I feel a little overwhelmed but how AMAZING everything comes out. I watch it for inspiration of what I can do if I stick to it. I am going to keep an eye out for a pretty blanket so I can give it a shot.

I never thought a blanket would look as beautiful as a coat. I need to try😊😊😊

I have seen on the internet a few people showing the clothes they are sewing. They all tace the patterns to the seem allowance and not to the sew line. I learnt to sew with my mother with an old Singer that was powered by that foot pedal. Then at middle school we had a class for knitting, sew etc. We had an after school hours for advanced students to get real tailoring basics. We learnt how to measure body make a basic pattern for a shirt top, skirt, pants etc. With required darts.Then anything could be altered by moving darts from the point around 360 degrees as we wanted them. That was in mid 1970's (yeah, I am old😄). I also used to buy German magazines Burda and Neue Mode that had a lot of different patterns and I still have them, even here in the USA. I never saw anyone draw patterns where the seam allowance was added to the pattern. The pattern was always exactly where the seam line was, then we traced it with that little wheel and tracing paper and added seam allowance as much as we wanted, I add a little more to neck line and side seams and more to any hemlines. That is still the way I sew, especially with fitted clothes like in tailoring. I can understand that in modern times with disposable culture almost nothing is fitter any more. Especially here in USA the made in China t-shirts have all wonky seams, they are worn only a few times and after thrown to trash. But it is difficult to find jeans etc that fit well showing why carefully sewn clothes are much more comfortable. I know everyone who is from my country sews the way I do, is this making patterns by including the seam allowance the usual way in here? I never did any sewing, knitting, crocheting, wood working and crafts as my occupation, only as a hobby. I know I am meticulous due to my occupation, one can say I am persnickety, but doesn't anyone do any more accurate seams and sew lines, is that only my leftover from youth in Europe?

For your next blanket coat, if you have a collar stand, use a cotton or lightweight flannel for the lining side. Nancy Zieman has some good tips for collars and collar stands.

I think this is my frav blanket coat you have made! Looks so good! Really flattering on you too! Beautiful! Also your little girl is growing up so fast I can’t believe it! She’s so cute too xx

I have been following you for many years now, and you improved so much!! Congrats🎉 wonderful job, you are really inspiring ♥️

It's so funny, we had our babies very close together, and I really enjoy seeing Marla and going oh look she's also doing x and y just like my son. It adds another level of enjoyment to what are already such enjoyable videos.

I always find watching your channel really soothing! The creativity is inspiring and how you tackle problems is honestly inspiring haha. This coat is stunning too

You have taken away my fear in making a coat. I made two so far, I still need to improve the instillation yet I am on. My way to greatness. Thank you.

That jacket is slamming!!! It looks so much better than the inspo!! Love love love💕💕

I LOVE your rendition of quilt coat sleeves! Never thought to have them that way but I am in love- what a relaxing video, thankyou so much for the inspiration!!!

I smile through your entire videos 😃. Thank you so much 😃. Oh! Love the blanket coat 🥰

I don't know if its the print, or silhouette, or how you masterfully sewed it all together - but whatever it is - i think this is probably my favorite thing you have ever made! I wish it was something i could buy!!! Gorgeous!

Marla's Madeline Hat is soooo adorable. ❤️

You did a BEUTIFUL JOB on this coat. BRAVO!!!!!

Your hair is so cute!!! I just love your voice and your tutorials are so soothing to watch and I learn so much! I love your videos! Ps I hope you and Marla are doing well!!! 😊

I’ve literally been watching your videos ever since you came out with your raglan sweatshirt tutorial 😭 now look at you!! You’re simply Amazing !

Wow! It came out SO lovely! That fabric is gorgeous and was definitely begging to become a coat.

I have made several coats with upholstery fabric but never thought of using a quilt I have to say I was wondering how this was going to look..but it’s beautiful and thank you for making this look professional and not just wacking things

I'm seriously falling in love with this channel. I'm not a garment sewist, but you're inspiring me.

You blow me away. You are always extending yourself and making such interesting garments. This is no exception, such an amazing piece. This coat would look amazing with a contrasting belt, maybe in a green from the leaves.

So beautiful, I’m amazed you made that with so many new steps, and you nailed the feeling of the inspo coat!

Soooo gorgeous!! Been looking for a beautiful quilt to make a jacket, but haven’t seen any that I’ve liked. You found a great quilt and the coat is so gorgeous!!!😍😍😍

It's over 30 degrees celsius in Queensland Australia where I am today, and I just found the most incredible vintage bedspread for $8 on marketplace. I watched this vid because as soon as I get home I am making a coat out of it. Thanks Wendy for the inspo. xxx

16:33 is my favorite moment!! the coat looks so lovely and the technical work that went into all the french seams is incredible 🫶🏻

AHHH IT LOOKS SO CUTE!!! SO COZY!!!! i love quilted clothing but the jacket looks amazing especially bc the base quilt was so lovely.

The best of your blanket coats yet! The puff n’ gathered sleeves really take it to the next level

I love your style! Thx for explaining details in an understandable way.

Love the Jacket, i especially love the sleeve and the calf. I also love the hair it's very elegant and suits you. 😍😍😍

I think this is my favourite of your blanket coats - I *adore* the silhouette, and those sleeves!! Divine.

This video is one of my favorites that you’ve done! First off the coat is wonderful and I love the details. The sleeves are SWEET! I also appreciate the explanations and definitions you included.

I’ve recently picked up sewing again and this video is so motivating for me to get better at it!! Loved the final look, can definitely see this on a runway 😍

the quilt, the buttercup, the flowers, the coat..everything is gorgeous

learning to sew a collar was one of my favourite things I learnt this year. very versatile as you can use the collar stand on its own to sew mandarin collars so literally everything I made had a some sort of collar this year

love seeng you say "I did that!!" I do the same thing when I sew and it's such a special experience!!!

Really loved it as a long vest too! The elegance of the fabric is just so perfect for a puffy long vest!

Any and every time you post I am captivated! I love your videos so much and seeing your home come together in the background. I have a stunning vintage quilt and can't wait to flip for the winter :)

I’ve just finished sewing my first ever corset and the “oh gosh” realisation is so real

I love this coat! from the fabric to the style! Also just love watching these relaxing and sewing motivation-inducing videos! Wonderful!! Also caught the British accent - made me LOL and impromptu song - I love the vibe!

Wow this came out sooo well!! I can't wait to get to the level of sewing. Thanks for sharing!

I always look so forward to your uploads. Thank you for being so inspiring and shining such a warm energy onto our days

Home sick from work and just discovered your channel (thanks algorithms!): it’s great! Your projects remind me of why I originally started sewing as a teen in the mid-to-late 90s. Your coat is fantastic! I would love to see if you ended up making one for Marla!

It's the first time I watch your channel, you are so beautiful and I felt happy just watching you, the jacket is more than amazing I hope you have a wonderful day ❤❤

Such a beautiful coat!!! I love the print of the fabric! Also Marla saying “key” was just the cutest!! 😍
