Thanks for a great DIY (Do It Yourself) video. You have a lot of courage to take on a project like this. Good for you. I think that you should maybe open up a business in jackets or anything else that you like. You obviously have the motivation to succeed. Go for it!
Did you actually use the dyed rib knit? When you showed it in your Materials section, the rib knit already looked red with yellow stripes, and it looks the same in your final result. Later, you said you dyed it. What color dye did you use for it, and what did you use it for?
Hi! I used chenille fabric and cut it into the letter I wanted. It is not the best because it frays easily, but it gives you a similar look to actual chenille patches.
Hi! For the front ribbing piece, I dont have specific measurements, because I just eyeballed it, but the width of it is 3". The double welt pieces were 7.5" by 2". The width of the button lining pieces was 4.5".
Thanks! I made the pattern by tracing some of my old jackets that I liked the fit of. It is a very cost effective way to create patterns specifically for you!
Hi, thank you! I sadly don’t have a pattern for the jacket, but I would recommend learning to create a pattern from the clothing you already own. There are tonssss of videos that will help you do that.
@@ACPbyVLA I dont have a particular place, but I do like to go to my goodwill and search for fabrics since you could find some really nice fabric for cheap.
I actually made my own pattern using jackets I already had. You definitely should be able to. The steps for sewing may be different. I would also recommend not cheaping out on the materials like I did. If you are going to put a lot of effort into making it, mind as well make it quality!
Sorry for taking so long to respond! Please let me know if you need anything in specific, but I will try to explain the best I can. So you have to sew the fabric to the ribbing, used for the waist, on both ends. Make sure when you are sewing it to the ends of the ribbing, you fold the bottom of the fabric in, so that when you sew it to the lining of the jacket there is no raw edge. From there, you need to sew an identical bottom piece of fabric to the bottom edges of the lining. When you attach the lining and get to that bottom part. Fold the edges to the inside and topstitch it on the sides and bottom.
Have you ever enlarged a jacket that is too small? I got my hands on a rare piece and the sleeves fit okay but the problem being the main body is too high up. Would you be kind enough to share any advice on how to extend the length below the waistband area? Thanks!
If it is a very rare piece, personally, I would keep it as is to maintain the original piece. However, to extend the length of the waist band, you’d have to sew more fabric onto the bottom of the waist.
@@mohamedmouallem9721 thanks! I create my own patterns by referencing clothing I already have, step by step sewing videos, and pictures I find online. For this varsity jacket, I used my denim jacket as a reference.
I used about one yard for the sleeves, two yards for the body and another two yards for the lining. This will vary depending on how big or small you want your jacket to be. I got the fabric from Amazon, but if you want higher quality fabrics, I wouldn’t recommend getting it from Amazon.
Hi! So I used felt for the body, but would recommend wool and I used faux leather for the sleeves, but would recommend genuine leather. As for the waist, wrist, and collar, I used ribbing material.

Hi! I did use dye to dye the white on the rib yellow. However, the ribbing was polyester so the dye could not saturate it much.
i love this
🙏🙏🙏
How did you make the A patch ?
Hi! I used chenille fabric and cut it into the letter I wanted. It is not the best because it frays easily, but it gives you a similar look to actual chenille patches.
Hey, could you tell me the measurements of the front ribbing piece, the double welt pieces, and the width of the button lining piece?
Hi! For the front ribbing piece, I dont have specific measurements, because I just eyeballed it, but the width of it is 3". The double welt pieces were 7.5" by 2". The width of the button lining pieces was 4.5".
@@ElliotTran thank you!!
How did you create your letter?
I used chenille fabric and cut it into the letters. I then just topstitched the letters onto the jacket.
Good job. FYI: What you call the "front button lining" is actually called the front "facing".
Gotchaaa, thanks for the answer!
WOOOOOOOO
WOOOOOOOO
Fire jacket. But it wouldve been great if you showed how you did the lettering
Thanks! To do the lettering, I just cut the letters from the Terry cloth and sewed it down to the jacket right at the edges of the letters.
Love it!
Thanks! 🙏
Looks dope, how did you make the pattern? Or if you used a premade one where did you get that?
Thanks! I made the pattern by tracing some of my old jackets that I liked the fit of. It is a very cost effective way to create patterns specifically for you!

@@ElliotTran Awesome thank you so much!! For the fabric do you recommend any places to purchase from?
@@ACPbyVLA I dont have a particular place, but I do like to go to my goodwill and search for fabrics since you could find some really nice fabric for cheap.
Where you get the pattern from I got a simplicity can I use that but the material you mentioned

@@ElliotTran what materials wool what type of leather is better for this kind of jacket thanks
@@lanesoe5 definitely try getting 100% wool fabric, although it can be very expensive. For leather, try getting genuine leather.
Heey how many yards did you used fir sleeves . Would 2 or 3 sq ft yard be good ?
Yes! I used 3 yards in total, so 2 should be good for the sleeves
Can you list what size snaps and where you bought them I can’t find them anywhere please
Hi! So I purchased them off of eBay, but the listing was taken down. The size of the snap fasteners were 15mm or 5/8”
Where are y'all getting the pattern for the jacket
Hi! Personally, I traced a pattern using a jacket I had.
Swagggggy
I appreciate it!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Do you have a website or link for the patterns
Unfortunately I do not 😢 I traced the pattern from a jacket I had
Do you think that I can use a simple bomber jacket pattern for this?
Yes! The only difference between a bomber jacket and a varsity jacket is the lettering and patches.
Do you have the pattern?
Please e. t can you explain more better how you sew the front like like the bottom space. I don't really get that part
Sorry for taking so long to respond! Please let me know if you need anything in specific, but I will try to explain the best I can. So you have to sew the fabric to the ribbing, used for the waist, on both ends. Make sure when you are sewing it to the ends of the ribbing, you fold the bottom of the fabric in, so that when you sew it to the lining of the jacket there is no raw edge.

Would it be possible to add fabric inbetween the main body and waistband?
@@k7807 yes, that would be possible. You would just have to remove the waistband, sew fabric on the shirt, and sew back the waistband on the bottom
@@ElliotTran How would you go about readjustment of the buttons/pockets though?
@@k7807 Could I get the name of the jacket so I can see it? If not could you send me pictures through my Instagram @theelliottran
Looks sick, is the pattern available anywhere?
Thanks! I couldn’t find a pattern for one, so I decided to make my own using my own clothing
where do you get the ribbing
I got the ribbing off of eBay, but you could probably find some off of Etsy and more. Just look up ribbing for collars/cuffs.
@@ElliotTran sick
Generally what size Snap fasteners should I get ?
I would recommend getting 15mm buttons
Can you give us file of pattern on pdf so we can print it? Maybe you can give it on Instagram or pinterest?
Sorry, but I have no idea how to digitize patterns.
dude that sick, can you give us file of the pattern on pdf so we can print it out , i love your works.
Thanks bro! 🙏 Sadly, I have no idea how to digitize patterns 😭
@@ElliotTran aaa, its okay dude.
@@ElliotTran where do you find your patterns?! Love the video my g!!

hi please teach us muay thai shorts and mma shorts and bombeer jackets thankyou
Will definitely check those out! A bomber jacket is the same as the varsity jacket, so the same steps could be used to create a bomber.
How many yards of each fabric did you use?
Also where did you get your fabric?
I used about one yard for the sleeves, two yards for the body and another two yards for the lining. This will vary depending on how big or small you want your jacket to be. I got the fabric from Amazon, but if you want higher quality fabrics, I wouldn’t recommend getting it from Amazon.
@@ElliotTran You talk about how much you got for the sleeves and the body, but how much ribbing did you get?
@@sarinaconstantine5591for me, I needed 3 yards

@@monicawright6893 😭 I just started college so I’ve been busy, but I’ll be sure to get something out when I’m on break. What tutorials would you like to see?
Faux leather is pronounced “fo” not “fox” leather.

@@ElliotTran no worries!! Easy mistake…I pronounced pho wrong for years!!! Lol
