[@LumiStitch]

the fabrick on chanel jackets is gorgeous!

[@PerfectJacket]

Yes. Tweed is a beautiful fabric.

[@karlabruno478]

One of your best videos to date. Excellent. *NOT* too long.

[@PerfectJacket]

Wow, thank you. Glad you liked it! 🎨🧥🧵🌸✨

[@JennaHasm]

​@@PerfectJacketI just want to buy them made out good fabric. I can never find them.

[@deidrabenson361]

Thanks sooo much for sharing the history of Chanel! I absolutely loved this video, it was amazing!❤️❤️❤️

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you. 🥰🧥🎨🧵✨Glad you enjoyed it!

[@wadenyoost1796]

Oh, I understand now. I will watch last month's videos for more information on the drape method. 🙂

[@PerfectJacket]

Glad you found the other videos. 🥰🧥

[@maxinekershaw9756]

Very detailed. Love it. Thanks for sharing. I’m very interested in structural integrity. I love for my sleeves to stay poof as an example. I haven’t make a ‘chanel’ jacket but I do intent to add netting to the one I will make (inspired by you) but I’m thinking about other jackets that I want to make. I love jackets and really want to perfect them. I also love the beading that you do. I’m going to add some beads to a dress I recently made…that will be my start…again, thanks for sharing

[@PerfectJacket]

That's awesome! Beading is so much fun. Good luck with it. And with your jackets. ✨👗🌷🥰🧥

[@jillk2334]

So interesting about the history of Coco Chanel’s life. What a fascinating life she had and her determination and strength is amazing. Thanks for the information on nylon netting for structure. So much work goes into a jacket and it should last a long time. Thanks for sharing! 😀🧥👜🎨

[@PerfectJacket]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰🌷🧥🧡🧵

[@robyn3349]

Thank you, Fin! Brilliant video! Insightful, and visually stunning.

[@PerfectJacket]

Aw, thank you. My pleasure! It was a lot of work but quite enjoyable.

[@hc00t]

Thanks so much for taking the time to make this vlog. Really interesting and informative.

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it! ✨🌸🧵🧥🎨

[@magdalenadetoffol6406]

I absolutely loved this video. Thank you Fin! By the way, I much prefer your way of making jackets with a structural layer inside. 🌹

[@PerfectJacket]

Aw, thank you! 🥰🎨🧥🧵🌸

[@karenbensdon4643]

Genuinely enjoyed this informative oration and sumptuous video.

[@PerfectJacket]

Thanks so much! 🧡🧥🧵🎨🌸

[@kimtaitano2409]

Thanks for the tips on the netting!!!! This is a great video. Love the history!!

[@PerfectJacket]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰🎨🌸🧥🧵

[@saundrayork767]

there is no way this video could have been shorter. Thank you for this!

[@PerfectJacket]

Thanks! Yes, it was quite a challenge to get all the threads of information in there so I could tie them together at the end.

[@Lady9tails]

This was so fascinating and wonderful. 💜💜💜

[@PerfectJacket]

Thanks! 🥰🎨🧵🌸✨Glad you enjoyed it!

[@VoxAtelier]

Woah I knew nothing of her story. Amazing.

[@PerfectJacket]

She certainly was an interesting person! 🎨🧵🌸

[@wadenyoost1796]

At 36.07 you refer to something called "drape" for working with the tweed and the structural layer together. What is "drape'? Please provide more details as I don't know this technique.This was one of your best videos, so inspirining. Thank you.

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you! I have lots of step-by-step videos where I make a jacket.

[@userwsyz]

It’s a long video but it’s interesting that it doesn’t feel long. I rarely watch a video over twenty minutes long. Well done.

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you! She was such a complex person.

[@magamagagaga]

Thank you so much! Great video!

[@PerfectJacket]

Thanks. 🥰🎨🧥✨🧵 You're very welcome!

[@beagle1008]

Love this!

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you! 🥰🎨🧵

[@kyliewalker6647]

Fascinating, Gabriel’s backstory is remarkable as it is sad. She was a true feminist. I have much respect for her. ❤love your unique designs btw.

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you! Yes, she was an incredible person. 🧥🧵🎨🪡🌸

[@lesleyseaden1877]

Excellent

[@PerfectJacket]

Thank you so much 🥰🎨💚

[@robecampa1]

so you think taffeta is not enough for structuring? or too fragile?

[@PerfectJacket]

I know that there are people who use silk for the structural layer orf their tweed jacket and they love it but I wear my jackets everyday, not just once or twice. I need something that will remain strong for decades.

[@inannashu689]

So basically Channel was responsible for the beginning of the cheap fast fashion industry,only she pedaled it to the super wealthy.

[@PerfectJacket]

Well, I think Chanel was just very good at spotting a trend and riding the wave.

[@monabelanger8916]

What do you think of organza for interlining?

[@PerfectJacket]

Silk organza works as an interlining for silk or light weight lace but tweed is much heavier, it needs a more robust support, in my opinion.

[@mcomeslast]

So the net keeps the tweed safe but it isn’t sewn or quilted to the net? Just wrapping my head around it.

[@PerfectJacket]

Yep, I have several videos where I made a tweed jacket step by step. You hand-stitch the tweed to the net. You can either do it before the long seams or after.

[@mcomeslast]

@@PerfectJacket thanks! And I am going back over those video. My current class ends in two weeks. Somehow I have missed it and finally had to ask. When I watched it the first time, I hadn’t tried to sew one (using more tailoring methods). Now that I have I can watch again with fresh eyes. Thanks for your patience, video is awesome but sometimes it’s a struggle for me until I have it in my hands. Thanks!

[@PerfectJacket]

No worries. I know what you mean. It's one thing to think it through but it's so much easier when you have the fabric in your hands. Best of luck with it. 🥰🧥🎨🧵💉

[@janesmythe4677]

How does the nylon net hold up to the heat of heavy steaming and pressing of seams and shaping wool?

[@PerfectJacket]

Tweed is a different fabric to wool. It requires different techniques and skills.

[@marcaudibet2384]

GABRIELLE aimait avant toute chose" la fonction" d un vêtement, Elle etait de la meme génération que le Bahaus, et cela a nourrit sin oeuvre toute sa vie 36:34

[@PerfectJacket]

Absolutely!

[@cor3944]

Karl Lagerfeld improved definitely the quality Chanel fabrics and craft.

[@PerfectJacket]

Yes, he definitely had the power to get big budgets and used them well.
