DIY // Blanket Jacket

[@yokodotcool]

I watch a lot of Sewing KZbin but THIS video was the first one that made me think, "Wait, I think I can do that!" I made my jacket out of an old floral patterned quilt that belonged to my mom and lined it with an old bedsheet. It's not perfect, but I'm so proud of it. And it gets a ton of compliments, and I get to say "Yeah I made it!!!" Thank you so much for this video; it inspired action for me 💖

[@flowersarefun817]

Tip: if you make the pieces on paper first you can copy this jacket over and over again without having to draft a new one every time. This is very cute and your fabric is perfection !

[@annelimca7870]

Do you make your own pattern for this? Im a beginner and bit clueless. If you have a pattern, could u please share

[@schueggi]

@@annelimca7870 Saaaame

[@kristapottinger5012]

It took me so long to start implementing this into my sewing. Definitely a game changer.

[@plastictiaragirls575]

@@annelimca7870 you trace it with your own jacket, Like making your own pattern. Make sure to add seam allowance though :)

[@rukhsanabi7083]

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 making jacket colours making coloured jackets1 . .

[@avrilneilson8005]

Just beautiful, so cosy and great recycling. Nobody's got one the same in the whole world ❤

[@ShreshthSinha-zj9pv]

The best tutorial I've seen. It made me make my first ever jacket. I have no prior experience with stitching

[@tassie2348]

God, I'm halfway thru this and never sworn so much...😅😅😅😅😅 Okay. Made number one. Made mistakes. Found epic plaid blanket in op shop. Now for number 2!

[@purelilyx]

I am so impressed with the level of construction and quality of this! I am learning but taking a lot of inspiration and videos of yours have helped me so much. Thank you ! 🙏

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Thank you so much!! 🥰 really means a lot hearing that x

[@abbybradbury2490]

Ok, I've never understood how to cut out a sleeve without a pattern before this video but the way you explained it made total sense. Thank you!!! And I am 100% making at least 100 of these, it is amazing!

[@Betterialist]

I love when you said to keep the front side you like the most on top of the other, while the "standard rule" states front right (wearing the jacket) overlapping the left for women, and viceversa for men jacket. I definitely prefer your freestyle approach!!! 👍😎🤩 Ps: your tutorials are pure gold!!

[@carolegroom5161]

I love what you’ve created from the blanket. Can I say that when your using your machine on thick fabric as I go. I use a walking foot. It’s much easier to over the thick areas. Love the colour .

[@GentlethemJoey]

I’m so excited to try this! I also love that the lining is a fun print and not just plain. I love mostly-hidden details like that.

[@MG-ql8sgsgloryhole]

Wow you cutting the patterns perfectly without pins is a flex

[@branditommyshut3716]

A great, relaxed, simple clear instruction video. Inspired to have a go! Thank you!

[@marielng2663]

Clearly the dream jacket, and the dream sewing skills!! Your work is truly impressive; thank you, both for the inspiration and all the help you give! 🙏✨

[@tawnykempf4839]

This was just what I was needing to connect the dots on how to attach the collar to the quilt coat I was making! Thank you so much for a great tutorial! Love how your jacket turned out!

[@clarapark6113]

i can't tell you how much i LOVE your tutorials and fashion sense!

[@TamaraGSuttle]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been wanting to make a jacket from an old quilt but have been too intimidated to try! You make this look simple enough that I think I’ve found my courage!

[@DoeDeerWonderland]

You're literally the only person on KZbin who hasn't made sewing tutorials seem daunting for me haha. Great video and the jacket looks very cool!

[@daniellealishah4505]

So grateful for this tutorial. I just started sewing and thanks to your great instructions, made a coat today!

[@betulgesen6684]

an alternative for fabric chalk would be dry soap bar! give it a try it draws really clear lines and easy to clean

[@ladybird9317]

I just finished making a mini one of these for my toddler and it’s so stinking cute 😍 I’m branching out and trying more difficult sewing projects lately and this was so much fun, you explained everything so well 🧡

[@Ruby-dm1op]

Watched this tutorial last night..... just got home from Joann :)

[@kms8943]

Thanks you for your sewing tutorial.🙏🏼You taught me how could sew this jacket without any pattern very easily. I'm so happy to finished this project☺️through this video👍

[@rachaelmckenzie6999]

It’s absolutely INSANE how easy you make this! I was trying to make a denim jacket and was totally struggling and came across your video. Ready to try again!!!x

[@cristianmoralesvidal9862]

After long time i see u in this video but with more experience and i can do that. Thx u incredible video

[@vicky-nx2uq]

I have just finished this tutorial, and people, watch this, please, it is amazing🥰 I cannot imagine this youtube channel wasn’t recommended to me earlier!😍 Amazing finish design and tutorial thank you so much!

[@dankpizza]

You are such a thorough and precise teacher ! Such a clear tutorial thank you!

[@laurengrace1806]

I’ve been wanting to make a flannel jacket like this for months now. I even bought the fabric for it but I never knew how to go about it because I’m still quite new to sewing. I’m so excited to start this new project !!

[@captainsarah01]

Thanks for this step by step video, this helped me a lot. I started with a mockup up to get started. keep up the good work.

[@anushkachoudhury6186]

Wow this tutorial is so perfect. I did not leave the video wondering anything. Everything was perfectly explained. I've been meaning to make a jacket for a while now and finally found the perfect tutorial. Thank you so much❤️

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! Really makes my day hearing that 💕💕

[@andreyapatinha6727]

I’m thinking about buying a sewing machine. Your videos are made so well. I love them

[@suzieq6781]

I made a jacket from a tickish woolish material with the help of this video. I am an absolute beginner and it turned out pretty good (with of course a few mistakes). I used a pattern of etsy btw

[@kaitlinmitchell4472]

this is amazingly explained and shown, not to mention the final product is so cuteeeee!!. I'm a beginner sewer and have never sewn clothing, I've only ever done little bags, scrunchies and wheat gas but this looks super easy and do able. thank youuu!!

[@olivia9375]

My toxic trait is thinking I can make this as effortlessly as you did

[@keranwing]

Your voice is so soothing and your explanations so matter-of-fact that it make me feel more confident that I might actually be able to do this project. XD

[@suzanne8216]

So happy to have found this! Can't wait to start looking for an old blanket at the thrift shops. Excellent, detailed instruction--this rookie sewist thanks you! Thanks especially for the needle breakage tip.

[@nandinidhir9873]

Omg perfect for the winter! You always know what’s on my ‘to sew’ list 🙈💓

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Haha glad I could help!

[@shalojaan1894]

I love this!!! I cannot wait to make this. I have made your tiered dress and slip dress. I'm glad you are making slightly more challenging projects I started with your earlier videos as a beginner.

[@imogennichols8492]

I've made so so many tops, skirts, dresses following your tutorials that always turn out so gorgeous! Can't wait to give this one a go :)

[@TheEssentialsClub]

🥺🥰 that’s the sweetest!! Thank you x

[@sevamo]

I'm just learning to sew and this is definitely going to be a goal of mine! My pet rabbit passed away and left a lot of IKEA blankets that I'd love to fashion to something I can stay warm in.

[@mm62627]

thank you algorithm ! perfect for fall in the northern hemisphere 🍂🍁🍄

[@sarahsoucie7282]

I wish I would have seen this video before I made my first jacket! I feel like an idiot following the pattern instructions. You make sewing look so easy and less complicated!❤️❤️

[@kritikasuwal4564]

omg! its only the best toturial i've ever watched and literally was searching for my first diy project and here i found... surely gonna make it, hope to find out turning awesome.. and cute as in vdo

[@lynnoliver2168]

Fantastic job. Thanks for your time and info. Creating is so much fun. 🇨🇦. Just try it. What do you have to loose.

[@natasharose]

I found you through tiktok, and didn’t realise you were a fellow Australian til I watched this tutorial! 😄 I love this tutorial - I’m currently trying to make a completely handmade wardrobe and I’m totally going to try this with a funky blanket

[@arashchahal4201]

i m fully impressed .the way you teach is superb. i will definately try this cool jacket. love from India

[@caitygrace8352]

Girl this was so fun and you made it so easy to understand. I’ve probably given you 100 views over the past couple days while making this and I am so happy with how it came out!! I learned so much in such a short time and I’m so grateful for you!!!

[@elisa4620]

The blanket you used is SO beautiful ( love these colors). And the jackets looks so cosy :)

[@yisselmaharaisanchezgutier2685]

I really wanted to make a jacket like that and now I'm very happy that you showed us how to make it, thank you very much Maddy:)

[@KatieFrances]

LOVE this gorgeous! Just came over from tiktok. I just started sewing my own garments and am OBSESSED with this item 😍🙌🏼

[@lyndaw9273]

Love the jacket...you give great instructions

[@JenTheEllis1]

I"m definitely going to try this! And thinking about a mini skirt to go with it for a cute little fit!

[@galewhiteman2047]

You did an exceptional job on this video. The jacket is a great style…love the oversized pockets. I will refer back to this! Thank you!

[@Journal2Memo]

This was such a thorough and well put together tutorial ❤❤❤😭 I was able to follow along and everything

[@DanielaAlarconilustracion]

I loved this video ❤️ picking up courage to try this by rewatching until I feel more confident about all the steps

[@tatianainessanz5484]

Felicitaciones es muy práctico y didáctico tu proyecto. Gracias por enseñar de esa manera no entendía la forma de colocar el forro

[@JimeOide]

I´m in winter here so this is perfect!!! And I have a woollen blanket that I´ve been keeping for this kind of project so... perfect timing!

[@Shnooosan]

This is so dreamy to watch! I hope to make this one day. Thank you for making this masterpiece xx

[@TheEssentialsClub]

So glad you enjoyed this ☺️

[@Hannah-of2td]

I love this but I will save this an make this in October because I live in Europe! Thanks for the vid!😊

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

This is fabulous. I love your choice of fabrics. 😀

[@emmanuelleh7218]

Seriously, the entire part about attaching the lining looks like witchcraft to me. It's really impressive

[@oce_vyperr9564]

Absolutely love this. Let's hope I can make one as easy as you have done. Lol.

[@brunacirelli]

I am in love with this jacket!

[@johnsabaku2257]

Wow, what an impressive instructional video!! Excellent job, your jacket is beautiful. You are so good with measurements and seams. I almost feel like I could do this by just watching you. But I know it took great kill and practice. I have some old wool blankets to be used for this project. Thanks and love the OZ accent, Cheers

[@29jgirl92]

I've been thinking that this has to be possible for years now! NEED to try this!

[@annemallye-rolle8819]

Merci c'est vraiment bien expliqué et ça fait très envie d'essayer!

[@jaishawilson8935]

best tutorial ever!!! just finished making my jacket so thank you so much ❤️

[@oliviagobran6057]

Have been waiting since you posted a little sneak peak and cannot wait to give this a try!

[@kymclinton3140]

So clearly explained some one said you mumbled I heard you very clearly and I was listening to music on KZbin on my TV and listening to and watching you on my tablet I would also add an inside pocket in contrasting fabric I've seen a throw in a shop I love the colour s off so I'm off to buy that on Friday and I have some spare fabric to do the lining which has pictures of London landmarks , soldier's red double decker bus es and red phone boxes which was greatly reduced a year ago so I brought eight yards of it as I knew I'd use it again

[@Wookie_Tan]

To anyone still curious about what food-based lining method she's talking about, it's the BURRITO METHOD!

[@MLISSAWILSN]

Girl. You are TALENTED

[@sarahjocker5059]

Fantastic work as always love love your colour fabric choice. Thankyou for sharing XX

[@nabiha6738]

yeeeeee I like the bagginess of ittt, def gonna try ittt tysmm

[@soleileil]

I just made it and it looks really good! I thought that making a jacket would be to difficult for me but you made the steps easy to follow😄

[@edithk1620]

what kind of material did you use?

[@kellynoonan6126]

This jacket came out super great! I'm adding this to my project to do list

[@sareletje]

I definitely think I'm going to make this! Might add an inside secret pocket to the lining just for my phone as I always miss inside pockets otherwise

[@mariakh2809]

Finally! loved it so much when I saw it on Instagram, will definitely try this myself😍

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Thanks!! Can’t wait to see how yours turns out ☺️

[@alyshafameli7741]

Hi! I love your tutorials, you’ve given me a love of sewing and I’ve made several pieces. I’m attempting this jacket from a gorgeous vintage wool blanket. I have a lot of material under the armpits, any ideas how I can fix this?

[@naomicamacho5674]

Omg I have the same blanket only in red and it's now found a new purpose! 🤩Thank you for your videos! You explain so well❤

[@naomic2353]

This would be a long shot but would you have rough measurements of your jacket? I don’t have any jacket that has this kind of fit and what you made is the exact kind I’d like to make as well. Thank you so much! 😅🤍

[@lilyabbott12]

Same here!

[@maddy9756]

Hello!!! This is so cute definitely have to give it a try

[@nancynewman6592]

I would probably want to use a pattern, but the way you explain all this takes the fear out of it. Common sense order, and not as complicated as it seams when reading instructions. Thank you :)

[@sanaamallik6919]

It is such a cute jacket wow

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Thanks so much 🧡🧡

[@sathusri7825]

as always, you made it so easy to understand - thank you 😤❤️

[@sewsciopath841]

Brilliant idea 😭 I adore the pattern. Currently hitting up thrift shops to try to recreate this

[@andycuintana]

Wooow I really want to give it a try before November this year so I can have a new jacket for winter 🥺🙆🏻‍♀️. I love your videos, I'm learning a lot ✨

[@panoraiat.4308]

It's so beautiful !!!😍 Thank you for this tutorial !!!

[@roosa3755]

Omg this is great, i just bought a blanket and i wanted to make a jacket out of it but didn’t know how 😄

[@plastictiaragirls575]

I have this blanket as well omgggg! Twins 👯‍♀️

[@applejuiceandwater2817]

i have it too

[@angae9124]

It's marvelous, thank you so much 😍❤️

[@barbaran9003]

Love it. I would like to make it in a purple version. I’m on a mission now to find a purple blanket

[@sarah_cate_art]

love it! definitely going to have to try

[@juliettegibson9845]

Dang thanks! A coat I’ve wanted just jumped up in cost (Filson Wool Mackinaw Cruiser) and I’ve been wondering if I could make it myself.

[@carolempluckrose4188]

Aaaahhhhhh, I hear the call of pure wool blankets and the dye pot! Well, dying in the washing machine tbh. New winter coat I suspect. Should I have enough fabric, my other half could end up with one too. Lucky boy!!! Had you considered using a walking foot due to the thickness of the layers? I just wondered if it might be easier. Thanks for the video. You did a great job.

[@fatemehbehrad7161]

This video is extremely useful. It helped me a lot. Can't wait for your next sewing tutorial ❤️

[@key_aria3475]

Amazing! Would I be able to use an upholstery needle? It worked really well on the velvet fabric I used on my couch

[@mmarte2393]

I loooove it!!! Definitely gonna make one

[@miahkoiasher8737]

thanks for the amount fabric size chart! what size do you think the one you made is?

[@shanessabryana2307]

Thank you so much for the video can't wait to try this ♥️♥️♥️

[@melissaaguirree]

I love this so much! You explain it so perfectly and I think I can make it😁 Can’t wait to try it!

[@plumhearted]

I love this tutorial, your voice is so nice and gentle :,,^) This jacket is beautiful! I think I'm gonna make my partner this for our anniversary :,,)
