one little improvement: dont stitch all the way down.leave around 20cm open on the sides,this way its much easier to move and bend. love your anorak! Gruass usem FL

[@eternal7083]

also: wear your anorak with a belt over it,makes it more comfortable and traos more heat inside

I sew regularly and use little weights I make with scrap fabric and rice to make sure the fabric and patterns don't move when I cut it so I imagine you could also use rocks if you're scared of damaging your blanket with the little toothpicks

The way you use SAK is pure art, very inspiring 🔥

[@margaretalena]

Turned out petty good. My self I would have done a folded seam around the edges to give it more strength from freying and too make it a bit more ridge around the the edges. Also whip stitch the button holes to keep them from freying also. Wool is made up of fine hairs and they will frey if not reenforced. A bias would have reenforced the side seams as well. These little extras would make it last much longer from wear.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your super interesting tips!! I make this for the first time... that's why your feedback i very valuable!

[@margaretalena]

@@FelixImmler you did a great job being your first time. I'm surprised actually. Your a very crafty person. I'm that type of person as well. I make dolls, I weave and knit, crochet sew. I make candles herb medicines.. nothing special. Did it all my life. People are shocked when they find out. I use to think most people made their own stuff or traded (barter) for things they didn't or couldn't make..

[@rafterL78]

There's a few more refinements that could be made that, I'm sure, our man Felix is aware of too but my understanding of the video was minimalist type of build. We used the largest hoodie I have for a pattern to make mine and made it slightly larger for outerwear. The seams are serged to prevent fraying.

A wool blanket is something I've been meaning to get for some time now. There are so many uses for them in survival situations. With a little effort, it can replace a heavy coat, or even a sleeping bag.

[@FelixImmler]

Yes... that true!

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

Military issue wool blankets are becoming very difficult to find these days . I purchased 2 French military hospital blankets a few years ago for only 40 US dollars . Unissued and new condition . Wool will keep you warm even if it is wet . Better than modern synthetic materials . All the best .

[@jimf1964]

I stumbled into a surplus US army wool blanket a few years ago. I believe it was probably from the 60’s to 80’s, but not sure. You could sand wood with the thing, but it’s warm and actually treated to be highly water resistant. Blew me away when the kids spilt soda on it and it just rolled off. Man I wish I bought a few

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

[@carlbernsen1290]

Well, they’re not magic though. To have as much insulation as a 2 inch thick sleeping bag or quilt you need more than 2 inches thickness of blanket. That’s a lot of heavy blankets!

[@TheBottegaChannel]

For all the people in the U.S. who like to wear hoodies for casual or outdoor wear, this is fantastic. Now I need to take some of the survival blankets I have from the surplus stores and make myself one. My only modifications would be the following: Long sleeves with wider cuffs for layering reasons, complete with tie off toggles so when you roll the sleeves up you can make it into a short sleeve version. The cuffs would also have draw string synches to help keep heat in when not rolled up. Not sewing all the way down on the main body and leaving about 3 to 5 inches for mobility reasons around the hip area. Adding a draw string synch for the hood, incorporating a face mask on a toggle on the inside to use for windy/ cold situations. Using the extra bits left over for making pockets, adding shoulder padding or a mantle to aid in extra weather protection, and belt loops for if you need to belt up the bottom for heat retention. Pocket toggles. Because losing your gear during a hike while the weather is inclimate sucks.

Well, this is definitely one of those projects that could while away the hours of a long winter night, might need a crock of hot spiced wine for lubrication though. I would be tempted to roll and stitch the hood opening to give it a bit of stiffness, and perhaps the cuffs as well.
