Such a beautiful result! Just a tip - if you want to sew normal buttons on thick fabric, put a match between the button and the material - then sew the button on by hand, and when finished, pull the match away, and wrap the thread around the loose threads to create a shank. Thank you for this video Wendy.

@hello__grace 5 ай бұрын

this gave me so much more appreciation for choices designers have to make - it looked like a simple jacket but the fit, proportions, material, luxurious details etc all made a huge difference to the final product!

@chaos_aren 5 ай бұрын

The longer I look at the inspiration jacket, the more I think it's just a rectangle body with rectangle sleeves. the way the drop shoulder lokks just reminds me so much of simple rectangular knit sweaters. And having only straight edges would certainly make the decorative stitching a lot easier to acomplish... But your version turned out so cute! And it probably fits way better around the armscye than the expensive one haha

@sscott2747 5 ай бұрын

I was thinking the same exact thing. It reminds me of the drop shoulders knitted sweaters. Just basic rectangles.

@cherylrosbak4092 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, I was thinking about folk blouses -- two rectangles for the front, one for the back, two for the sleeves, and armpit gussets. Some Romanian blouses have separate shoulder pieces that lead to a dropped seam.

The creativity and editing on this video was on another level! Also, this jacket made me think of an outfit Queen Elizabeth wore in the final season of the crown that I really loved.

@caitlinmason2353 5 ай бұрын

Wendy you can always use buttons without a shank and add a button stand! It’s where you sew the button on loosely and then wrap the thread around those stitches. You essentially make a shank out of the thread.

@AnnieKat_ 4 ай бұрын

Ooo I was looking for this suggestion :) and I learned the official term, love it

@michellebyrom6551 4 ай бұрын

Adding a flat button on the back at the same time - needle through both buttons sandwiching the garment - makes for a stronger hold on coats and heavy jackets.

It's cute! As a quilter, I'd have shown you a quick way to join all the pieces. Personally, I'd also add a button at center back and either side of the collar opening, place buttonholes in the scarf and button it on, so it doesn't fall off, fly away or come undone all the time.

@cornflakes-does-stuff 5 ай бұрын

I'm not a big fan of the original coat but yours is super cute! If it was me I would have went with the flower buttons just to absolutely maximize the cuteness factor, If I ever make a quilted jakcet I'll deifintely look for buttons like that! I wish there were quilted blankets in the thrift stores where I live but alas! I'm gonna have to make one from scratch it seems :")

@abbeyv4148 5 ай бұрын

Windy, I just love you and your videos so much! The mean girls goofs, the cat butt wiggling for freedom while you seriously assess your mock-up. Just wonderful! Also, it’s so impressive and entertaining to watch you dissect a pattern just by looking at pictures of it! It’s like watching a mastermind fashion detective at work!

@catty2chatty 4 ай бұрын

Stunning work. I was going to say the plain shank buttons. I love the flowers, but because of the patterns in the fabric, I think the shank ones are perfect.

here I was thinking the scarf would be attached to the jacket, but this is way better! It turned out so much cuter than the inspo

@merrim7765 4 ай бұрын

You can create a shank by using the same or a slightly thicker thread for sewing on your buttons. Be sure to cut your thread at least 12 - 14" longer than usual. Use something like a toothpick to place between the jacket and the button. The toothpick creates an even space for your thread shank and holds your button at an even space as you sew. I like to use a doubled thread. Once the button is on, remove the toothpick but do NOT cut the thread. Hold the button out away from the garment and wrap your thread round and round the thread attached to the button, (8 - 10 wraps -- you be the judge) forming a nice clean-looking sturdy shank. Knot and cut your thread inside and you are finished! Wendy, your jacket is perfect!

I really loved the first buttons opposed to the flowers, I thought that they fit more cohesively with the colors and style of the design

It turned out so cute on you! I'd probably go for a plain pink blanket instead, but everything else I'd try to match as close as possible if I did a recreation of the tutorial. Now I just need a sewing machine 😅
