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!

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 🥹💕

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. 👏🏻👏🏻

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.

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!

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.
