    The best feeling in the world is answering "I made it." to a "where did you get that from?" question.

    My schools varsity jacket is upwards of 500$ and I refuse to pay for that so instead I'm gonna make one that's almost identical for waayy less money and then send it in for embroidery.

    Wow, your one minute of welt pocket video at 3:18 was the clearest and easiest to follow of all the dedicated welt pocket videos I've watched so far. (The others where like a David Copperfield magic show with a lot of flipping over and turning of fabric and then 'poof' a welt pocket!)

  • @Dan_The_Dude
    @Dan_The_Dude 8 років тому

    I'm new to sewing, so I know you can substitute materials sometimes, but I don't always know when or what to substitute with, so forgive me if this question sounds stupid:
    I'm allergic to wool, so what material would be best to substitute it for?

    • @HimeGabi
      @HimeGabi 8 років тому

      There are synthetic wools out there you can go for. There is a new one out there called Tencel.
      But yeah just go for a synthetic wool and you'll be fine!

  • @aliciabernadette6148
    @aliciabernadette6148 8 років тому

  • @PearLCanSew
    @PearLCanSew 9 років тому +1

    Awesome tutorial! One question though. You said you made the pattern from a dress shirt. Did you enlarge the pieces at all to fit more layers under the finished product? If not, do you recommend doing this?

    • @withwendy
      @withwendy  9 років тому +1

      Hi! Yes feel free to enlarge to accommodate layers, but keep the shoulders relatively close to original width to keep the look sharp.

    @marlonghirmai4845 9 років тому

    Hi Wendy. I was wondering how you get your seams so perfect. I don't have a surger, but I have an advanced sewing machine with a lot of stitching ideas. I'm tired of my creations looking unprofessional.

    • @withwendy
      @withwendy  9 років тому

      Hi! I don't have a serger either, I find some trimming and clean cuts help a lot to keep things neat. It is possible without a serger! But obviously sergers are amazing too, I'm saving up for one :)
