I have a question not related to this video. Do you have a tutorial for beginners on the care and maintenance of a sewing machine? Also can you recommend a good sewing machine that is not too expensive for simple projects (mainly coasters, placemats etc.) to sell? I am a novice at sewing and would like advice on anything, as I am thinking of selling on Etsy for some income.
Denise, I raise my hand for the re-learning part - he he, that's me :) I really love the jacket, it is just when you're tired you make silly mistakes that make the whole experience less than smooth :) But I looooooove the way it turned out - so happy!
Christine, I started stressing out so bad because I just did clean up the floor from the leftover drafting paper and I thought i threw the pattern piece out. My heart was pumping so hard!
I have a 'spring/fall' jacket that I love. It goes with so many things including different colored t-shirts that I can wear with it. This video gives me confidence that I might be able to clone my jacket. I believe I have enough fabric and I can't wait to begin my pattern. When I first watched your video those months ago, I knew I was tucking it away in my memory...for a reason. Thank you!
I really enjoy this new format of showing your behind the scenes process! It’s relieving to see that even with your level of experience it’s totally normal to have curveballs, makes me feel less judgmental about my own attempts haha Looking forward to the assembly video! It’s really difficult to find well fitting jackets at affordable prices, so that’s generally a really interesting pattern topic! :)
Ka Rin - yay! As always, great to hear from you (and I still want to try that stretchy thread that you mentioned, so curious!) That is what I want to do from now on - take you on a journey with me - bumps, success, problem-solving - we all go through it, but you don't see it in an edited step-by-step tutorial. And you're right - totally normal to have curveballs and I want us to experience it together so that the next time is less scary! :)
What a fab video! I really love these recent videos where you take us on the journey you had making it. It’s super relatable. I wish there were more sewing videos like this. I know the work involved in this type of video so thank you!! Also your jacket looks amazing. I wouldn’t know it was handmade looking at it much less self drafted. Your talent is amazing! I say this genuinely x
Thamks Alisa. I felt your late night stress and love how you soldiered on to create this gorgeous jacket. Now going to continue on with watching the members extra! 🐾🥰
Marion, I should have known better :) you know how I say - "don't sew when you're tired or in a rush".... eh, breaking my own "rules" here, but luckily it al got done :)
I love when you were looking for the collar piece. When you placed your hand up to your face, I really had to laugh. I felt like I was watching myself right down to the hand to the face. That scene has played out so many times in my sewing room.
I am such an unabashed fan - love your process, teaching and results. I have a neoprene jacket by the Gap that I bought years ago. I didn't realize it was made of neoprene until I watched your video! I Like your black one I love it. It washes like a dream, it always looks great and it's the perfect weight for our weather (I'm in Victoria BC Canada) which is rainy in the spring. It has princess shaping and fits me like a glove. Watching this video was brilliant. Now I'm thinking I want all the neoprene jackets especially one with such a beautiful print like yours. You always make up such pretty feminine clothes!
I've watched this a couple of times. Going to watch the members' extra again, too. You have done so many amazing projects- both simple and complex! I really love the style of this and the neoprene material. I also particularly love the upcycle jacket you did that repurposed the pleated skirt. So inspiring!!!
Perfect color, print, and pattern for you. I love to take apart my old fave clothes to see how they are made and try to sew them back together. My grandmother would do that for me and then make two new ones and of course put the old one back together. I’m trying to recreate some of my fave items and recreate them with linen. It’s a such a shifty fabric. I loved your dyed blue pants recreation. You are very talented 💙
Thank you so much! I love your story of your Grandmother! Wise woman! You're so right - it can be a little shifty, it just likes to do whatever you want to do with it - I have accidently stretched it before just by ironing to aggressively :)
I am loving the new format! Your videos have always been very professional and genuine; however, getting a sneak peek into the real-life sewing challenges (which I'm very familiar with!) is very helpful and very fun to watch! The pattern splicing and how you "Frankensteined" it together was also extremely helpful! Thanks for the skill share link too. I signed up! Always look forward to your videos. Thank you!
Warmest greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. I so enjoy your tutorials. It's like a friend doing it with you, mistakes and problems and all. Thank you for sharing all you share. It is so much better than trying to follow these " perfect first-time sewing" tutorials!
Bravo, Alisa, on a sensational make!!! I love your jacket and I am a big fan of scuba knits (well, some of them, anyway!). Your ability to dive into this project with purpose and confidence. creates a sense of “I can do it to” in other sewists. I honestly don’t believe you are going to miss pockets in your jacket as most likely it will be worn with a bottom that has them. I had to laugh when you were looking for the neck pattern piece….yeah…it was a little funny! ❤️
That is so pretty. I’m amazed you managed to get it out of so little fabric! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Pockets are an absolute must for me. I need somewhere to put my glasses. I have been known to edge join scraps to get a pocket bag in desperation, hehe! Just as long as the bit I can actually see has the correct grain, I don’t care if the unseen part is along, across or inside out, as long as its straight. 😂
Looooove your jacket. I have that same identical print only with a navy blue background. I made a dress out of it, but didn't want to put a zip in so I used a neckline that allowed me to pull it over my head. Love your ingenuity.
I really enjoyed this video!! We got to see this dope project AND get a look into who you are. I love all of your tutorial videos, but this one was special! I hope you do more in this format moving forward :)
Hi Alisa!! Fabulous video & enjoying this journey your that we go on with you.. I feel like your right here beside me doing it.. Love the fabric you choose, it’s so you.. Jacket turned out so beautifully & is so versatile…. 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
The BEST way to shorten a metal zipper is to remove the bottom stop. You can then place the same stop in the new location or just apply a cross stitching by hand. Love your jacket!
Bravo, Bravo Alisa 😍😍😍 !!!…personally love structure jackets/blazer and this one for sure came out beautiful 🙌🙌🙌🙌… this is something I will like to sew in the future 🤔.., I am still backlog in my sewing project.. still doing fleece and flannel 😂😂😂😂
I am always so impressed with your creativity and your artistic talent. I can’t draw a straight line or a good circle. I’m hoping that someday soon I can have enough free time to look through all of your videos for drafting tips.
Love this jacket. I need to dig out neoprene I have in my stash to make similar. And I love behind scenes. Good to know I am not only one who makes mistakes ;)
Thank you so much! Yes! It is the case of - "well, I started it so I either crash and burn or I finish this things" lol :) I just wanted to share that it happens to all of us, creativity takes you places ;)
You got it dear: I didn't mean to offend you, You are a very talented lady. Don't be distracted by criticism, take criticism seriously, but not personally. I told the truth regarding long videos on youtube so youtubers minimize unrelated talk and get to the point. Good luck and God Bless
We all make mistakes. I have to make a tester for both sides of me; because, I am very lop-sided. Your jacket is beautiful. Day before yesterday, I was trying to get one of my quilt tops quilted. The machine quilting was not going right. Yesterday, I spent most of the day picking my quilting out. My fingers got so dry that the skin on my right thumb, index, and middle fingers cracked open. I got blood on my quilt. I decided that the backing fabric and the thread that I used was the problem. I then went through my stash and found a better backing fabric. Now I can quilt with machine quilting thread and hopefully get the look I want. Today, my fingers were to sore to work on a quilt; so, I went on a needed shopping trip instead. I bought a seam ripper with a magnifying glass built on it. Tomorrow, I will tape up my sore fingers and get that guilt together and quilted
Arvetta try to rub bit of coconut oil or honey onto your hands. It helps with dry skin. I tested it number of time (I have bad dermatitis and my skin cracks on its own most days)
@@InAgatasCottage Thank you. I will give both of them a try. Both coconut oil and honey are alway stocked in my kitchen. Coconut oil has improved my dry, white hair and scalp. It is good for more than cooking. I love honey on my pancakes.
Wow... Just the realisation that even professionals have bad days and it's not just me 😅 But it all turned out amazing in the end, what a wonderful jacket!
OMG, I was in total shock - I truly thought I accidently threw it out and if that was the case - oh my... this is what happens late at night when sewing :D
I love the style as well as the pattern of the jacket. I wish I was brave enough to make one. I do not recall if you mentioned if you made your own pattern or if you bought it. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!
Hi alisa. That jacket print is so you. It’s a very nice jacket on you. Where did you get the fabric? I can’t find any print with neoprene. All solid color and kind of boring. Great job and thanks for the video. Thank you!!
Oh, really? I got it at Jo-Ann's, they had plenty of neoprene prints at one point, years ago. Have you checked Mood Fabrics? I am pretty certain they would have neoprene in print.
How did I miss this video? This is smazing Alisa. How you got any pattern drafting education? I wanted to do a seamstress school but I don't believe there is anything like that here in Ireland.
Linda, hi! No.... not anymore, moved away about 5 years ago! Go to Heddy's Fabrics - great place and that's where the showgirls buy fabric for costumes.
He he :) I actually REALLY love the way it turned out. Maybe I would have loved a pocket, but I can always add one with an invisible zipper, will see :) yeah, sometimes it is a mess in the progress and it comes out great :)
I was laughing when you were looking for your collar piece! That happens to me all the time during a project and it was so relatable. I think it was great that you didn't edit that part out. I thought neoprene was a fabric that does not fray. Why did you serge everything? Thank you!
It does not fray - you are right! It juts looks much better and gives you a cleaner look. Members Extra is coming today and there I show you the insides of the jacket - you will be able to see it :)
Lise, hello there! It is just how it goes behind the scenes :) I have come to realize it is important to share the journey and not just the destination, so hopefully this entertains and brings value to people :)
Yes, correct. Scuba/neoprene is a stable knit, and it holds shape, therefore it cannot be used as a flowy knit. And I just used a woven block with dart and did adjustments to it.
Hi Alisa. I would like to make this jacket. Do we have instruction sheet for this one? How do I do the neckline? Do I still cut it s bit shorter and stretch it a bit as we sew like other knot neckline?
There is a full detailed Members Extra for this jacket that explains step-by-step what to do (just minor adjustment, no instruction sheets needed for this + have you seen the Members Announcement a few months back that there will be no more instruction sheets, due to the fact that all tutorials are available on the channel and Instruction Sheets for future projects are redundant? All Members Extra videos, including this announcement are in the Members Extra playlist, link on the Members Tab and underneath every Members Extra), what pattern block to start with and what to do including the neckline, all of the tutorials are also underneath that Members Extra - ua-cam.com/video/axg7SWflg3Q/v-deo.html
Could be good good for a hoodie, but not a sweatshirt, I would see what kind of scuba it is - some of it quite soft on the drape and some is quite structured - so it really depends :)

That fabric is so you! Great little jacket, and yes, no sewing when tired. Everyone has to learn that painful lesson. Some of us have to relearn it!

I love it too. My best sewing ideas come while having shower or while cleaning ;)
Love this jacket. I need to dig out neoprene I have in my stash to make similar.

I like your sewing, when I saw that feel really good 🥰🥰🥰🥰

@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you so much. I did but I was a bit distracted. I will watch it again without distractions. You are the best.
Cute jacket
Hi alisa. That jacket print is so you. It’s a very nice jacket on you. Where did you get the fabric? I can’t find any print with neoprene. All solid color and kind of boring. Great job and thanks for the video. Thank you!!
Oh, really? I got it at Jo-Ann's, they had plenty of neoprene prints at one point, years ago. Have you checked Mood Fabrics? I am pretty certain they would have neoprene in print.
Oh I will try Joann. Thanks alisa
How did I miss this video? This is smazing Alisa. How you got any pattern drafting education? I wanted to do a seamstress school but I don't believe there is anything like that here in Ireland.
What a nice jacket! Throughout your video ist just thought: oh Look, i am not alone with my struggle 😉
Anke, You are definitely not alone :)
Always enjoy your videos! I must know, do you still live in Vegas? I would love to meet you!!!!
The jacket is awesome!

I LOVE ❤️ this video!!!
I don’t know how many times I’ve looked for a piece, and went, “Crap. Where did that go?”
ha ha, sooooooooo true, especially small ones!
It is a jacket! (With a little mess on the way. Forgive.) Super cute!
He he :) I actually REALLY love the way it turned out. Maybe I would have loved a pocket, but I can always add one with an invisible zipper, will see :) yeah, sometimes it is a mess in the progress and it comes out great :)

You used your woven bodice block, right? And just used the scuba as if it was a woven fabric?
Yes, correct. Scuba/neoprene is a stable knit, and it holds shape, therefore it cannot be used as a flowy knit. And I just used a woven block with dart and did adjustments to it.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Thank you 🙏😊
Love that flower material. Where can I buy it?
You can buy neoprene at most fabric shops, not sure if you are going to find a floral one, but neoprene nowadays is pretty common.
Random question, what did you do before working for the casino?

Charlotte, hello there - hmmm.... I don't know.... usually I would say '"yes" but this fabric - I don't want to break up the print :)
Could u make a hoodie or sweatshirt out of scuba fabric?
Could be good good for a hoodie, but not a sweatshirt, I would see what kind of scuba it is - some of it quite soft on the drape and some is quite structured - so it really depends :)

If you are using Apple and you don't see Membership tab - just go to the Community tab and scroll until you see Members Extra video post, click on the video and open the infobox - all links are there! And have fun in your sewing journey - it was great to have You! :)
I did not appreciate the blasphemy of Jesus
