  • In this video I show how to combine a hoodie and a denim jacket to make a stylish and comfy hoodie jacket. I also show how easy it is to shorten the sleeves of a denim jacket.

    I like the line of stitching at the end of the sleeves for the perfect position for attachment of the cuff for precision without effort. Nice.

    You’re absolutely amazing & a genius!!! I feel exactly the same way about my server too! Before I even had a serger, I hadn’t realized how much I needed a serger/overlock machine. But, I came to my senses when I took a beginner’s sewing class even though I had been a seasoned sewer for some time. My eyes were opened to the overlock/serger machine. I too became obsessed by it, & I had to have one. My husband gave me a serger/overlock machine that very same year as a Christmas present. Even though I was a seasoned sewer, taking a beginner’s class wasn’t ever an option before but, so glad that I did! Because I was the most experienced sewer in the class, the teacher asked me if I could be her assistant helper & work w/ others in class. There was 1 teacher for about 30 students in the class. When she was busy, the others would ask me for help. That year I learned how to make my own patterns, sew a dress, make a pair of pants, make a jacket, use the serger. That was a good year for me.

    A few years ago I joined a hoodie with a denim jacket, and got a lot of wear from it. I removed the hood and pockets from the fleece, and added them to the denim, the trickiest part was adding the hood while keeping the collar. It got it to work, and added the angles pockets to the top of the denim pockets.

    The cutting of the white hoodie and 'blend this into that' was a little unclear to me. I think you can go slower and show the steps more. I don't think many of us would mind a little longer video. With your kind and pleasant voice you're a pleasure to learn from.

    I just found your channel and I'm amazed by you. Your such a cutie. Helpful tip for you when sewing on sleeves such as you did... Turn the garment inside out, giving you the ability to flatten your target area. Your garment will be on top with better exposure to fabric topside. I hope I explained It well enough. I use this method for many other construction tasks. Thank you for sharing your skill.

    @cathybartley6064 Рік тому

    Sleeves are always too long for me but rather than reapply the cuff I sew down the placket opening (rather than have the tiny placket opening you have )and use one layer of each cuff to bind around the edge of the sleeves. Sometimes this creates a sleeve edge I can roll up a little too!

I don't know where it appears on a computer or laptop screen. And I sometimes have to pause a video to catch up with the steps. Hope this helps.
