Friday Pattern Company Ilford Jacket Sew-A-Long | So What If I Sew

Hello everyone and welcome back to So What If I Sew! Today I am delighted to FINALLY bring you my Ilford vlog. A lot of things got in the way of this vlog. Major MA deadlines, 3 weeks of constant event installs and night shifts for work, and 6 broken needles but it is finally here and I really hope you enjoy this one. Its longer than my usual vlogs however I've tried to keep it chatty so grab some sewing and join me for an epic voyage into the Friday Pattern Company Ilford Jacket!
There is also a sneaky sleeve placket tutorial at '14:10' so please enjoy!

Ery nice.

That’s a great make. A tip for you - a tailor’s wooden seam clapper is your best friend when pressing wool. Results in a beautifully pressed seam.

Completely missed this comment at the time but thank you so much for watching! I now own a clapper and completely agree with you - they are amazing!!

Hump jumper or bulky seam aid are really good for sewing thick seams. You pop it under your foot and it raises it to to the same level as the seam. Jacket came out lovely 👌

This is why I prefer pdfs. You can just download it again if you need a different size.
