Hello, dear Emily. As a longtime sewer, you inspire me! Thank you! The easiest tool to remove any stitching, a seam, a hem, a binding, is a razor blade! I use a box cutter. It is easy to snap off the dull blades. I learned from an old Italian tailor. Again, thank you for the renewed spirit you gave me for sewing! ❤️❤️❤️

Thankyou a lovely video. I used to make all my own clothes when l was in my teens and twenties. My neighbour had three younge girls and she found clothing them expensive. I encouraged her to go to sewing evening classes. After a few weeks she asked me for help. I refused, but encouraged her to get some of her mother’s old clothes. To unpick them, iron them, then unpick one of her girls old dresses. Next to use it as a template, for a child’s dress. To add a inch around the sides, when cutting out the new dress. Or to use newspaper, make that into a paper pattern, using her child’s old dress. Next advised her to pull the bottom of the seam fabric and ease on the top seam fabric. Each time she approached me, l explained a short cut, but refused to do any of the sewing or cutting. After a few days, she had three lovely new dresses for her little girls. Her mother laughed when she saw her grandchildren, wearing her old dresses, made into small clothes. She laughed even louder, when l explained, l found it hard, not to do any of the sewing, but that my neighbour had to do it herself, as l wouldn’t always be advailable to help. My neighbour, became my close friend and after her first three new dresses, l encouraged her to buy new material in the sales. She did and everyone commented on how lovely her children were dressed. Her husband hugged me, as it saved them a lot of money ( he worked hard, his income was small ) so they were able to go on holidays. ( l advised camping & take a homemade hamper as a stand by, which they did ) So being a good neighbour, dosnt always mean, helping your friend physically, rather a character strengthens and building up self esteem, plus creativity. Much love,your creations are lovely.

I had my mom’s singer from 1961 - that’s vintage - and I gave it away in 2008 to a high schooler interested in theater costume design. She’s still using it and making costume mock-ups for theaters in Chicago. My mom would be happy.

Great job! I love them both but probably the linen jacket more. It's very elegant. From reading your description of the curtain lining, it might be a blackout lining which is pretty heavy and could make the jacket very warm. But, it seemed to have worked well. I'm so impressed with you young ladies sewing on KZbin!

Now I think on it: I have several thin quilts in the closet. I usually drape them over chair backs, for color and fun. Think I'll trot those babies out and see if they spark any ideas like yours. I just finished re birthing an old, unusual one off color (violet blue) pair of denims, with a unique label. It became an cute tote bag. I used bark cloth from the 1960s as liner. Great result. I urge viewers - look around your local thrift shops, discard bins, and see what you've tucked away in boxes up in the closet and forgotten. You may be delighted what turns up!! Lovely video, and cheers from New Orleans.

I made a sleeveless sleeping gown earlier when I could not find the style I wanted nor a suitable one made from the cooling cotton fabric. So I had a put-away cotton dress which I converted it into the sleeping gown. I enjoyed every bit of it, admiring my progress each day and loved the coziness of it so much I happened to have slept two nights alongside my work. 🤭 It’s therapeutic.. and relaxing. It all started when I needed to fix my favorite quilt. I had it for over 20 years and mending it using an old cotton sheet and a bit of teddy bear’s foam stuffing to make up for the lost portions was superb. Also slept a night alongside it. 😄 Took me nearly a week but couldn’t be happier knowing that this hand-made needle work of quality will guarantee me another 20 years of durability … maybe more. ☺️

Beautiful jacket. If you were binding everything, I would just have folded the sleeves back. Would have made an interesting finishing would also have made an internal phone pocket from the spare fabric. I wish for internal phone pockets in all my clothes….. I must admit I love watching other sewers work, it confirms my own abilities and love of the craft. One immediately has a bond with the other sewer, I know the feel of the fabric, the crunch of the scissors, the joy when the pattern comes together, thank you for a lovely video.

Erik Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1 was a lovely choice of calm music to accompany your video. Sometimes we all need something soothing to listen to while we're trying to figure out a new pattern or problem solve a mistake!Congratulations on how beautifully your garments turned out! Since I was quite tall at a young age I learned to sew equally early in order to have clothing that had long enough sleeves and hems. I also had great fun in finding gorgeous fabrics that could be repurposed as wearable art. It can make such a difference even if you are reusing a favorite pattern. Speaking of patterns, I appreciate you putting the links to these digital patterns as we lost our home in a house fire, and with it everything including clothing and a large collection of sewing patterns. I'll definitely be looking into digital downloadable patterns from now on!

Hello, I’m a new subscriber and I really enjoy your content. It’s different from the mainstream with your simple, clean styles in natural fabrics. You are very good at showing how you make the garments and what problems you come across and how you solv them. I also really appreciate when you upcycle textiles like in this video, that is a big interest of mine. The two jackets turned out beautiful and I loved the quilted one best. From the leftovers you can make a zippered pouch or a bag, maybe also slippers. The black and white fabric would look good as cushion covers. Looking forward to following you and thanks for sharing!

Re making mistakes when sewing, I was making long curtains for my front door many years ago now......red velvet, one curtain but with two lengths sewn together. They were floor to ceiling , lovely I thought but I had sewn the velvet ‘upside down’ and didn’t realise till I had finished. One side looked red velvet and the other side was more orange looking. It was because of the ‘pile’ being opposed. It was some awful job unpicking all that!!!! LESSON LEARNED:).

I’ve been a quilter for over 30 years, and have made a few quilts specifically to be cut into jackets. I’m my opinion, wearing a quilt is till honoring the work and possibly sharing it beyond what is practical with a wall or bed quilt. Better a jacket than in the cupboard. 😊

I’m glad this was addressed. An old quilt would be hard to use as fabric. The comforter or spread you used was perfect. You are a good seamstress and designer.

Ive never seen anyone unpick like that!!! Think you’ve changed my sewing game for me. Also reassuring I’m not the only one who sews stuff upside down and lots of other mistakes. This came out beautiful 🥰

Both are fantastic! I choose the quilt jacket mainly because I like the fit better (for me). Being an experienced sewist, it was easy to follow along with your vlog. Great ideas for upcycling!!!

I had a quilted jacket that was reversible when I was in high school similar to yours. I bought it at a boutique and all my friends wanted to borrow it to wear. One friend borrowed it and never gave it back🙁

I have watched this video several times, for one it was easy to just watch you complete all the steps without talking. Second I really like the choice of material for the two jackets and third they look very professional. Hope you do more videos

May I add, for those who play or study classical piano and wish to learn this piece that it is actually Gymnopédie No. 1 by the French composer Erik Satie. It is not technically difficult but must have a discerning interpretation. Enjoy! - the music teacher.

The quilting fabric is stunning, and yes like anyone else I don't think I could cut into it, but what you did is awesome and beautiful and did the fabric justice. I think both would look brilliant with the Chinese toggles at the length of the 2nd one. You are a clever young lady. Both are stunning pieces.

First of all, that machine is quite the workhorse, going through two layers of quilted fabric and bias! The way they usually do bias for a quilt isn’t actually bias at all, it’s usually cut straight grain because quilt binding is mostly straight edges. The length looks like they cut it from their whole yardage of backing! Great work!! 💕

They both are great! I have a couple of observations, though it's probably too late to matter. I would've taken the pockets off the quilted jacket and turned them sideways so they open at the sides, if that makes sense. And I think you probably should've done some type of finish on the raw seams on the circle jacket (either serging, zigzag stitch or binding each side of the open seam) because I'm afraid the seams will ravel whether you dry clean or machine wash. And I would take it to the cleaners for a proper pressing. But they are both really, really nice!
