Thank you for sharing your process. I used to love more challenging projects but I’m finding that I now prefer simpler projects that still give a wow factor and this pattern fits that preference for me perfectly. I’m inspired and will be getting this pattern and some linen to create one for my wardrobe as well. ❤
I’m just getting my sewjo back after several years of not sewing . I’m so glad to have found your channel. I love how calm and meditative your content is
This is wonderful! I’m in a trance watching you sew. These are the best videos! From start to finish you provide the steps and demonstrate with such details. Thank you!
I just made the A version of this in a cream linen and your step by step was SUCH a great addition to following the pattern. One change I'll make next time is using feather weight interfacing. I used lightweight and it still feels a little too stiff for me. I also made a few other changes- I made the belt loops MUCH bigger after seeing how small the pattern was. I like the chunky loops with the wide belt. I put the loops on the back of the jacket rather than the sides (again just personal preference), and I sewed down the front "flaps." I think the weight of the interfacing and fabric made them floppier and it was a sensory issue for me. Seeing your fabric and how it hangs was a super helpful comparison. Thanks again!!
I am so glad this was helpful!! I love these observations and notes, too. So many variations on how things can look with different fabrics and interfacings. Thank you for sharing your experience here! 💜🙏
If possible I recommend block interfacing, i.e. interface the space/area where your facings and collar, etc will be cut out. Then you only cut once and the interfacing and fabric is guaranteed not to warp/stretch. Just makes it easier. I love what you have done with this pattern.
I’m just learning how to sew after 40 years of knitting. This is pure meditation for me to watch and very inspirational. You are very talented. Thank you for sharing ❤
This was so fun and relaxing to watch. I especially appreciate how you focussed on all of the details in this make and took the time necessary to video so those details were easy to see and understand. Well and beautifully done.
Such a beautiful coat!! I usually go for the usual black or navy when making a coat. I am on the lookout for chocolate or light brown now!! The music was lovely especially backyard magnolias which I never heard before. I had to use Shazam to look this up!!)
Hey Cleo! I'm happy to have found your channel again! How are you liking your Bernina? I have an older model (Artista 730e) and love it. I got mine used, but it sews really well. I see that you have a Barbie Box for storing your presser feet. Very cool. Love your style and aesthetic, it's really great watching you presenting your garment sewing projects. Thanks for posting.
I just discovered your channel. This is a great video. I'm looking forward to exploring your channel backlog. How is the linen not getting shiny when you press on the right side?

I wouldn’t have made it without this video!! Thank you so much!
I’m so glad I could help! 🙏

🙌 Love these stories-I can relate to not sewing for a long time. Take it one step at a time!

Ordered my fabric and pattern. I am excited to make this and appreciate the video very much. I am newer to sewing and this helps immensely.
So glad to hear this! ✨☀️
I really love your style of sewing and how you show every detail. It is so helpful. Stay Blessed.

You’re so right, it can definitely save time. I block fused on a recent coat project. 💜

Hey, thanks so much! And I love that you used Shazam!. Backyard Magnolias is my fave tune of the bunch, too. 💜
I love your videos.
Thank you so much! 💜
Fabulous! I need to make one of these and hopefully I’ll get close to your professional result.
