ABOUT:
Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on UA-cam. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️
One time she flipped her scarf in my face… it was awesome!!! Love the mean girls inspo!
sagwa's purring is SO loud 😹gosh she's cute.
She loves to do this during my therapy sessions and zoom calls 🥲
Look forward to this each year, such fun and always so inspiring.
i love how you always make it your own version rather than making it a dupe! also, loving the editing in this video
Such a beautiful result! Just a tip - if you want to sew normal buttons on thick fabric, put a match between the button and the material - then sew the button on by hand, and when finished, pull the match away, and wrap the thread around the loose threads to create a shank. Thank you for this video Wendy.
The longer I look at the inspiration jacket, the more I think it's just a rectangle body with rectangle sleeves. the way the drop shoulder lokks just reminds me so much of simple rectangular knit sweaters. And having only straight edges would certainly make the decorative stitching a lot easier to acomplish...
But your version turned out so cute! And it probably fits way better around the armscye than the expensive one haha
I was thinking the same exact thing. It reminds me of the drop shoulders knitted sweaters. Just basic rectangles.
Yeah, I was thinking about folk blouses -- two rectangles for the front, one for the back, two for the sleeves, and armpit gussets. Some Romanian blouses have separate shoulder pieces that lead to a dropped seam.
this gave me so much more appreciation for choices designers have to make - it looked like a simple jacket but the fit, proportions, material, luxurious details etc all made a huge difference to the final product!
The creativity and editing on this video was on another level! Also, this jacket made me think of an outfit Queen Elizabeth wore in the final season of the crown that I really loved.
Whoa you're busy making a baby and you're still giving us a blanket thrift flip? Unheard of. Extraordinary. Amazing. And can i just say, that jacket is stunning
i'm already laughing at the genius mean girl impression.. wendy, you've done it again, and i'm not even that far in to the video! :D
Wendy you can always use buttons without a shank and add a button stand! It’s where you sew the button on loosely and then wrap the thread around those stitches. You essentially make a shank out of the thread.
Ooo I was looking for this suggestion :) and I learned the official term, love it
Adding a flat button on the back at the same time - needle through both buttons sandwiching the garment - makes for a stronger hold on coats and heavy jackets.
Good point!
Oooh good to know!
Materials? beautiful. Final product? exemplary. EDITING?! Perfection 🔥👌
Love the purring and the restful music. You look gorgeous in that jacket!❤ Great endurance and creativity 😊!!!
"piecing is period" and "sewing is cardio" are fantastic sayings for the sewing community!
Mean girl inspired intro had me giggling.
I’m really out of it when it comes to fashion trends but these videos help keep me up to speed. Also gives me inspiration to try to make new kinds of garments!
Soooo…you popped up on my feed and I was immediately engaged…now you have me wanting to sew again and ofcourse I have to go down the rabbithole of watching all your blanket-jacket videos! Here goes, well worth it! Meet ya on the flipside!
Wendy the mean girls bit is just CHEFS KISS 😂😂
I'm not a big fan of the original coat but yours is super cute! If it was me I would have went with the flower buttons just to absolutely maximize the cuteness factor, If I ever make a quilted jakcet I'll deifintely look for buttons like that! I wish there were quilted blankets in the thrift stores where I live but alas! I'm gonna have to make one from scratch it seems :")
I love playing your videos while I knit. It’s like parallel play for fiber artists 😂
That is the cutest jacket ever❣️😍
Stunning work.
I was going to say the plain shank buttons. I love the flowers, but because of the patterns in the fabric, I think the shank ones are perfect.
so cute! if you put a discreet loop on the shoulder it would hold the scarf in place
you could make a thermo skirt from the left overs to put over yuor day cloths when going out for a walk and want to keep legs warmer
Adorable! I loved watching your design thought process.
Windy, I just love you and your videos so much! The mean girls goofs, the cat butt wiggling for freedom while you seriously assess your mock-up. Just wonderful! Also, it’s so impressive and entertaining to watch you dissect a pattern just by looking at pictures of it! It’s like watching a mastermind fashion detective at work!
You are the first person I have seen use that method for patterns!! Mins have been sitting in my box for 30 yrs lol I made one pair of pants from it and they were awesome.
It's cute! As a quilter, I'd have shown you a quick way to join all the pieces. Personally, I'd also add a button at center back and either side of the collar opening, place buttonholes in the scarf and button it on, so it doesn't fall off, fly away or come undone all the time.
When I saw the trim you choose I noded with approval because it was indeed the best one
This pink blanket coat is perfect 👌 for early spring and late autumn 😊. Unless you want to wear your beautiful blanket coat twenty years from now then early spring it is 😊. I love your happy 😊 face slippers. It's so cute. Hello Sagwa😺.
I’m OBSESSED 🤯🤯🤯
Keeping the scallops was def the right call!!!
Also, why do your coats always turn out cuter than the original??😍
sagwa's purring invading your audio is so precioussssss
It's gorgeous! You did such a great job. It's a new family heirloom.
one time Wendy made this incredible scarf jacket..... it was AWESOME
Omg the Sagwa sounds in the mic at 6:05
I really loved the first buttons opposed to the flowers, I thought that they fit more cohesively with the colors and style of the design
It's great to understand your thought process, and see how you make decisions. I wonder if you would like the scarf better if it was cut on the bias.
It turned out so cute on you! I'd probably go for a plain pink blanket instead, but everything else I'd try to match as close as possible if I did a recreation of the tutorial. Now I just need a sewing machine 😅
i always want to sew after watching withwendy s videos
OMG, this video was so FETCH! Yes, we saw the Mean Girls montage! Loved it!! I don't even go here.
My mother had one of these coats back in the 80s but the scarf was more shawl-like in the center so you could whip it up over your head like a hood.
So glad you were able to use the scalloped edges. Turned out great!🎉
here I was thinking the scarf would be attached to the jacket, but this is way better! It turned out so much cuter than the inspo
Well done!!! I am literally in the middle of trying to hack a Lady Lancaster quilt jacket. I made a mock up with an old TJ Maxx comforter. I bought a cheap jacket on Amazon that looked closest to what I want to have something to start out with for the pattern, knowing I would have to play around with it. It was too puffy to really get any sort of pattern out of it. I thought I would lose my mind trying to figure it all out. But I have something that resembles what I am aiming for now. Just to make more work for myself, instead of trying to find a blanket or quilt to use, I am making a quilt first. Actually I am making blocks and sewing them into sizes slightly larger than each pattern piece. Then I can quilt the smaller sections rather than a large quilt which will make it enjoyable rather than torture. Then I will start to construct the jacket. Her jackets have a wide range but the Aunt Ethel style which I'm trying to emulate runs about $1,600. I think this is very fair since she has to buy the quilts first and she only selects ones in great condition. She is from Lancaster, PA and she uses quilts that have been hand quilted!! What a treasure if one can afford one. Anyway, I'm going to try to make one on my own.
I love Sagwa’s short curly tail!
Wendy is the definition of demure
THERE WAS ENOUGH TRIM 🥳😎🔥🤾🕺
we live to trim another day!!! though it is not good for my ego to win this many rounds of trim/thread chicken
The jacket is giving Toteme X Sea New York. ❤
The first scarf that wasn't right, you could turn that into mittens to match.
Good job Wendy!! I loved that you kept the scalloped trim.
What a fun tradition and a great idea! I'm going to start looking more closely at the blankets in the thrift stores!
The Mean Girls inspired sequence was 👌🏻
just want to say i'm loving the music ... i played this concerto in high school :)
the fabric! the scalloped edge! the trim! the buttons! the mean girls reference! the editing! the music and the final scenes! this is my favorite videoof your channel ever 🌸💐💗 I'm in love with the jacket, wish I had the skills to make one ✨
You are amazing. Your jacket is lovely.
Those fabric covered buttons you can customize could've been cute
LOVE the mean girls remake scenes 😍🤯😂
Your jacket is amazing! I tend to attach buttons by hand because than I can make shank from thread.
You can attach normal buttons to have more space between the garment and the button. Put a match stick underneath the button when you attach it (by hand), remove when you're done and wrap the leftover yarn around it. You form your own yarn 'shank'.
I always thought the scarf of the Toteme jacket was attached at the back neck.
I was half/half watching/listening when I totally tuned in and you had your pattern PCs on that wine/cream checkered fabric and I thought “ that’s gonna rock that coat!!!” Only to figure out it was your rug 😩. Bummer. Would’ve looked FAB!
I'm so happy I've found your videos again. Been watching them nonstop since and they bring me such joy!!
A little advice, Bernina's when they get loud, means clean bobbin/under the plate area and a drop of oil. Your project is beautiful.
So cute! I love it. Been following you before you took the break, always loved your content. I also took a huge break from my businesses and just returned after a rough few years with health, pregnancy etc. I just want to send love to you and say you are amazing!
I like that Em thrown in. 💯 😊love the coat alot. I want one.
Come for the cat, stay for the fashion! Love the jacket 😮
Hi Wendy, Fashion Design Graduate from (what was at the time) Ryerson, and I remember my design prof teaching us about dropping a shoulder. you add the excess amount to the shoulder from the sleeve head like you did here. you must also drop your arm hole the same amount down, as well as out from the side seam! this prevents shaping issues at the armpit :)
The beginning of this cracked me up so much 😂😂😂
I watched your last year's blanket-to-coat video yesterday and realised a new one should be right around the corner, I feel like I've summoned you! ❤
After seeing the price of fabric… I’m glad to subscribe to you! Love the thrift flips!! ❤
The purring!!!
😊
it’s possible to add a sort of shank to a regular 2-4 hole button by loosely hand stitching it on and then wrapping the thread around itself between the button and fabric. Idk if I explained that well but it works for thicker fabrics
You find the best blankets!! I’ve been looking for a long time and haven’t found any cute ones! This jacket is so amazing!
This was so much fun to watch! Sewing with you would be a blast. And Lutterloh is such a great pattern company.
I loveeee the blanket series!!
I think the shank style buttons would be a nice touch! Gorgeous jacket nonethless
Besides your voice that is as soft as a butterfly kiss, my favourite part are the bell sleeves and your dedication to perfection❤
Perfection. Flawless Victory.
I'm literally about to make my own version of the Toteme jacket! My 1st toile will be using NL6639 - even though it's a raglan sleeve. Once I get the scarf right, I can use it on another pattern closer to the actual design as it is only a long rectangle attached at the collar.
So, I was delighted to see your video. Although it's not exactly the same, I absolutely love it with the trim and wavy edge!!! I'll still make my version similar to the original, but now also want to make one like yours as it is so darned cute🥰... Doubt I'll find a quilt like yours, but I'll make it work somehow.
Your Cecilie Bahnson DIY is my coat of dreams xxx
You can make normal buttons shank style by sewing them on with a match stick between the holes. Then wrap the threads between the button and the jacket with more thread and it forms a shank.
OMG your 2022 coat make is my bedspread from 1981. Such memories, I was 18 then. After I finish watching this video, I’m going watch 2022 video. ❤This coat is adorable, L❤ VE IT ! I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you.
She’s a beauty … well done!! ❤
With your videos I always press like before I even begin watching the video because I just know it's gonna be so good, and by the time the video ends and the lil montage plays I always wish I could like the video additionally because it's so inspiring and your editing is just so asthetic and ingenious!
Very cute! Flower buttons are the best! You can actually make a shank for a button by sewing it on over a straight pin to create some extra slack and then wrapping your thread around the stitches!! Always love the annual blanky coat!
hi wendy! just wanted to say i've been watching you since i was in ninth grade and now im in my senior year for college lol. finally got to buy myself a machine and i just finished my first sewing project ever!! wanted to say thank you for all the inspo through the years and keeping the creative in me alive. cheers!
Ahhh love this modern cottagecore jacket! Also the Sagwa ASMR 🥰
You can put a bead between the button and fabric to make a faux shank button
This is so beautiful I so want to go thrift a quilt
At 20:00, any flat button can be a shank button if done by hand. Just place a toothpick underneath the button and that will give the thickness of a shank and then continue to sew the button on as normal and then of course be sure to remove the toothpick and then wrap the thread around and around underneath the button to actually make a shank out of thread and there you go!
Yessss more blanket coats!! Last year i made the cecilie bahnsen inspired coat from your video (never posted and tagged because I don't use social media) though I didn't use a blanket, I quilted 5 meters of satin to thick batting and it was really hard but satisfying haha
This jacket is absolute perfection. Now I'm dreaming of the perfect pink quilted coat.
So sweet...loved watching the process
love that you kept the scallop edge detail. the jacket looks cozy
Love the scalloped edges! So clever to keep that part of the blanket. Beautiful.
Love this quilted jacket on you. The pattern is beautiful and color spot on for you. Bravo👏🏼
Obsessed with this video !!! I would love if you did a video explaining how you get your inspiration for these projects
Pinterest? Do you follow certain accounts on social media ?
I had never even heard of scarf jacket before this video !
Was looking forward to seeing how you were going to make the embroidered hem, so sad you chose to have a different trim, but love the coat regardless🎉 you’re so talented😋
I absolutely love it! I'd have chosen the other buttons and either wrapped the thread to make a shank, or slipped in a tiny button underneath to be the shank. I like that you kept the scallops and used the trim on the blanket, and your trim on the seams is so cute! Now I want to make one.
I hope you made a vest out of the first mock up 😭 that fabric is beautiful
I think the trim on the end of the scarf may give it some weight,stays in place easier. Looks good
The waved effect on the seams! LOVED IT
this video was sooooo enjoyable, wendy!!!! thank you 💓🌸💗
