Bella Loves Patterns Traveller Coat | Sew THE PERFECT Wool Coat 🧥
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 гру 2023
- Hello friends!
We have an epic sewing project and video here-I made the Bella Loves Patterns “Traveller Coat”!
This is a classic shape and in a perfectly relaxed, oversized silhouette.
Check out my entire process for making this coat in the video, and refer back to it as often as you need to when you sewing your own.
Please keep in mind: there are many different ways to sew a garment. I mostly followed the pattern instructions, and made one or two small adjustments. This video is to support your efforts. If something doesn’t quite make sense, go with what you know! 💜
And when in doubt, refer back to the pattern instructions.
Fabric and pattern details are below!

I have been tailoring my coats and blazers for about 50 years. I love the process. Your video taught me a few new techniques. Thank you for doing this.
Glad to hear this! ☺️✨
I just found your channel and I could not be more thrilled. For the past maybe six years I have not sewn anything after having sewn for probably thirty years. I have been so afraid to begin again because I am so unsure of myself. You have inspired me to want to take that step! Your videos are so well shot with the close up shots that are so concise and clear. Today, I plan on opening my cabinet full of stored fabric and choose something to sew. I hope to find something that resembles one of the things that you have made. Thank you so much for this channel!
So happy to hear this and I am rooting for you! Take it one small step at a time. Your pace! 🙏✨
This was months of work. MONTHS! It was so inspiring to watch you push through this project and deliver something so beautiful. The coat looks amazing on you!
Thank you!
This is the first time I've watched anything making a coat before the skill and workmanship which goes into making a coat is truly remarkable you make it look so easy
Thank you so much!!
This is an excellent video…..so informative and lots of great tips put over so well without the showing off and bad language we get from so many of the UA-cam sewists. Thank you! 😊
Glad you enjoyed this! 🙏✨
Hi Cleo!
From Brazil I send you My congratulations!
Well done!!!!
It is really hard to sew a coat, and you were brilliant!
Here we do our own patterns but I liked very much the idea of ordering them and get ready to cut and sew.
I’ look for the tools you recomended, I think they are pretty much usable!
Thanks again for sharing your goal with us!
Thank you so much! 😊 I appreciate your kind words!
I just got a pattern, fabric, etc to make my first coat and I am so glad I found this video!!! Watching you go through all the steps is so helpful and gives me a lot more confidence to give it a go. It was definitely good to see how much time and care can go into each step and that not rushing is worth it, your coat is BEAUTIFUL!
Yahoo! 🤗 This is so great to hear! Your coat will be amazing, I am sure!
Thank you, Cleo! My first time here. :)
You're so welcome! 🙏✨
Also bound buttonholes would look fantastic if you want to do them.
Such a good idea, I just might!! ✨💜
The coat is so well crafted that I don’t think it needed top stitching on the lapels. I’m pleased you didn’t insert shoulder pads. And I think that if you wear a coat unbelted, it looks better with a bit of length. It’s beautiful. I’ll consider making this one myself. Thank you.
I am so glad you mentioned the top stitching! From start to finish, I debated adding that detail in. I don’t always love the look of topstitching but in the end, I decided to stick to the pattern as closely as possible. If I make another, I may skip it. ✨😁
I discovered your work recently. I'm delighted. Thank you very much for so many important teachings and tips. Kisses from Brazil. 💙💙
You are so welcome, and thank you for your kind note! I appreciate it! 💜🙏
THANK YOU for your advice to shrink the wool fabric before cutting out!! I’m not sure I would have thought to do this. When I steamed the wool before fusing the interfacing, I actually saw it shrink quite a bit before my eyes! Your video is excellent; I’m at the early stages of my coat and I will be referring to your instructions and advice the whole way.
I am so glad to hear this! ✨
This is a lovely video. I have not sewn for 6 years also, I sewed nice pencil skirts, fitted, with silk lining and jackets. So I love seeing the systematic care that’s needed to do the construction properly, love seeing the use of equipment I have too. It’s such a lazy pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Oh, those sound so lovely! Would love to make a silk lined something one day. 💜🙏Thank you for your kind note!
What a great video, I always love your work as you are so meticulous with everything you do. Very inspiring!
Thank you, I appreciate this so much!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I can't believe how beautiful my Traveller Coat turned out, in large part because your video got me through many of the tricky parts.
I am so glad to hear this! And congrats on the beautiful new coat. Something to be so proud of!! 🥳💜
Wow, you made it look somewhat easyin some places. I have gotten everything I needed to make a wool coat and wanted to see other people on UA-cam before I started. So glad I did, I have saved your video to keep watching over and over. So far I have watched2 times. I am doing a very similar coat. Thank you for doing all that work and giving some great insight!
So glad it is helpful! 💜
I just finished the Traveller Coat for my daughter. I was very happy to have found your video, it made the tricky part of the written instructions that much easier to follow. Thank you! I am very happy with the result and had a lot of fun with the tailoring techniques in this excellent Bella Loves Patterns pattern.
Jessica
Glad it was helpful! And yes, this is such an amazing pattern! 🙏💜
Very professional finish….love the dropped shoulder …….you made an excellent job! 😊
You are too kind, thank you!
The coat looks brilliant on you. The tutorial was a pleasure to watch. Your attention to details was all inspiring. Well done. 🐶
Thank you so much!😊
That was an amazing video on how to make the Bella coat. The process you show on sewing and pressing a coat together, would work for most coat sewing. The music you used I found so relaxing while watching your techniques on coat making.
I’ve been sewing for many years, I used to work in a tailors. I’ve made myself a jacket years ago but haven’t sewn a coat. I really think I’ll have a go after watching your very helpful tutorial. Thank you I really enjoyed it. ❤
Thanks so much for you kind and supportive message! This is such great feedback and glad it is a helpful video, too. ✨🙏
What a fantastic well presented tutorial. I learned a lot and appreciate your detailed showing of the process in all its little steps. Very professional, very structured. And a perfect outcome. It gives me motivation to do my own sewing projects . So, thank you very much for your time and effort you put into the show and also into the reflections. As well as in the lighting, so older folks like me can see better.
Greetings from Germany.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for your kind note! 💜✨it has been a long time since I last visited Germany and I have fond memories!
That was beautiful to watch.
So glad to hear you say this, thank you! 🙏
I got a lot of watching your tutorials
This is awesome to hear! ✨thanks for watching!
The video was enjoyable to watch. Making a wool coat is my ultimate goal with sewing. Good job!!
Thank you so much! 💜
Such an awesome video!!
Thank you!! 🙏
Absolutely beautiful, oh how I wish I had watched this video before I made my coat! Will definitely use all this information for my next coat though, thanks so much for sharing.
You are so welcome! 🙏
Piękny płaszcz 😍
Dziękuję / Thank you!
Wow, your coat is beautiful and you are now rocking a custom coat! I too live in CA and would love to wear a coat such as this! I do not sew at all but I am always amazed at the skill involved in making clothes. Congratulations!
Thanks so much! 💜✨
Beautiful coat. ❤
Thank you! 😊
Totally loved this video and your coat as well as the longer style of the video! Thank you!
My pleasure, and thank you! 🙏 ✨
I have a different but similar style coat cut out but I stopped due to lack of confidence with the pockets specifically. You have no idea how helpful these videos are for those of us who are newer to sewing. Thank you so much for the time and effort. Much appreciated.
I love hearing this, thank you so much for your note!
Hope to see more of your tutorials soon
@@johnjackson4985 Yes, I'll be working on some things in the new year! ✨
I agree with this post. I have a similar pattern and similar issues on making it and I’m grateful for this video. It has boosted my confidence and I will try my pattern with this video. Thank you.
If you could have bought in time, so call horsehair this is miraculous in effect. But then your whole coat is lined. My son bought a good wool suit mailed from usa, rolled up like a football, it arrived, shook it out and it was fine. Because it had proper interfacing. The non fusibles are brilliant.
Horsehair fabric for interfacing is on my wishlist of things to try, thank you! Your son’s experience is good proof! 💜🙏
Thanks so much for sharing. I'm about to make a lined blazer for the first time and this is really helpful to watch!
So glad this is helpful!! 💜 Happy sewing with your new blazer!
Beautiful 💕 love the color.
Thank you! 😊
You have a very cozy sewing room! I just started watching the video- looking forward to your process ;)
Thank you for your kind note! 💜
Perfect is the right word, thank you so much ❤
Ah, thank you so much! 😊 ✨
I really enjoy watching you put a garment together.
So detailed, so very skilled at what you do.
Quite relaxing and encourages me to take on a project.
Thank you!😊
I'm so glad to hear this, and thank you so much! ✨
What a gorgeous piece, congratulations on an excellent job! You'll have that forever.
Thank you so much! 💜I hope so!✨
Thank you so much for this video ! your work is amazing !
Thank you for your kind words!! 🙏✨
Amazing piece of art! Well done and thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you very much for watching!! ✨🙏
Magnifique travail de précision! Merci
Merci beaucoup! ✨🙏
just few mins int and I already love the video and how many details you're adding. I have 2 kind of wool ready for this pattern but I cannot find the time and to begin this project, I know It will take time. Also, I'm still not 100% sure which fabric I want to use first. I traced the pattern during Christmas period at least.
Interesting comments about the walking foot. do you think the IDT system on a PFAFF machine (if you happen to know it already) would work fine enough? it's not strong as a walking foot but it's a tiny help at least.
Thansk for sharing this video!😊
Yes I just looked it up and I think it is the exact same idea, and should work great. Just something to test out and see. ✨😊
I loved watching your prep work! Great job and very inspirational. I love Bella Loves Patterns patterns!
Thank you so much!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too you are your family. 🎄🎉
Happy holidays to you too, and thank you so much!
What a beautiful job. Thank you for sharing. Do you like your Juki? I have been thinking of buying one.
I love it! It is incredible. Stitch quality is amazing and reliable. Every time I think I want to downsize to one machine (multipurpose Bernina) I sew just a few stitches on the Juki and I decide I will never get rid of it! 😄💜
Sretnice , pre lijepo ❤👋🇭🇷
🙏 ✨
@@cleow 👍
I have this pattern, but been too nervous to tackle it. You make it look easy! Thank you 😄
You can do it! 💜✨
I’m definitely feeling inspired having watched you - and seeing how precise and beautiful your sewing is, I’m going to try and up my game!! 😄😄😄
It can def feel daunting, so just take it one small step at a time! ✨
Great video! Thank you! I am preparing to make my first doublesided fabric coat. One side is checkered and the other is splid colour...it is going to be quite a bite. I have a question about your Juki machine..what is that accessories box behind it? Did you get it with it? I have bernette by Bernina. I didn't have a walking foot and, as you said, it is way too expencive, so I bougt one on ali express for about 15$ and it works perfectly. My machine is 13 years old now and I would like to change it for Juki as it really has the best reviews
Great question! The accessories box came with my Bernina machine, not the Juki sadly. I have looked at some different options on Etsy for Juki feet and bobbins but I end up just tossing them in a drawer. 😂✨
That was the same with me….I got very confused at that part attaching the lining to the vent …it was a different pattern to yours but it had a similar vent……
Yes, so glad to know I was not alone. Next time will be easier. 😉
❤

The dress you are wearing is very pretty. Did you make it? If so, do you have a tutorial for it ?
Yes! The dress I am wearing at the beginning of the video is the Lyra shirtdress by Tilly and the Buttons. I do have a quick sew along for it. One of my first videos so it's a bit different, but all the details are in the description! ✨
@@cleow thank you!!!
Please Can you make trench coat tutorial?
Yes one day! I have been looking at some patterns but cannot decide…😁🙏
Are you not using your Bernina anymore. Can you please make a video comparison between your new juki vs your bernina. I have a Bernina and I wanted to upgrade to juki. Is it worth it? Please please advise. ❤
Oh, I still use both. I love them both so much and could not recommend one over the other! 😆Which Juki were you thinking about? My Juki is my heavy duty, mechanical machine. The Bernina is my computerized machine. I plan to keep both! ✨💜
Im thinking to get a Juki ddl5550n. Same like ddl 8700 but made in Japan. Or ddl7000a. Imso confused right now. I love my bernina, but i have this fascination with the sound of industrial machine😂 can you please do a review with your sewing machines for comparison❤
😂 Yes I think I might be able to make a comparison video-your request might actually help me move past my current pants video in the works, which is a real struggle right now. 😅 It may not be in time for you to make your decision, though!
Were you aware that you can take wool fabric to the dry cleaners and ask them just to steam it to pre-shrink it?
Such a great point! I did consider it so it was more of a cost savings decision to not dry clean. 😆
Do you have horse hair canvas? I just did not hear you mention it thats all.
Great question! I went with the pattern instructions as written for this project so didn't try horse hair canvas. It is on my list to try, though! ✨
did you draft the pattern or did you purchase it?
This pattern is by Bella Loves Patterns, the "Traveller Coat"
