    I watch a lot of Sewing UA-cam but THIS video was the first one that made me think, "Wait, I think I can do that!" I made my jacket out of an old floral patterned quilt that belonged to my mom and lined it with an old bedsheet. It's not perfect, but I'm so proud of it. And it gets a ton of compliments, and I get to say "Yeah I made it!!!" Thank you so much for this video; it inspired action for me 💖

    Tip: if you make the pieces on paper first you can copy this jacket over and over again without having to draft a new one every time.
    This is very cute and your fabric is perfection !

    I love what you’ve created from the blanket. Can I say that when your using your machine on thick fabric as I go. I use a walking foot. It’s much easier to over the thick areas. Love the colour .

    I love when you said to keep the front side you like the most on top of the other, while the "standard rule" states front right (wearing the jacket) overlapping the left for women, and viceversa for men jacket. I definitely prefer your freestyle approach!!! 👍😎🤩 Ps: your tutorials are pure gold!!

    Had you considered using a walking foot due to the thickness of the layers? I just wondered if it might be easier.
