I kept searching for blazer tutorials everywhere, and I am so happy to come across this 💜

[@makersophia8008]

I'm trying to decide weather or not to make my own blazer and trousers for grad next year and this made the process look a lot less scary than I originally imagined! Thank you

[@szczuplutka85]

Chelsea, please please make a fitted blazer pattern and sew along 😍 btw, love your instructions and Heather Blazer pattern! Making my 2nd now 😀

[@rosierycroft166]

Just made a denim blue linen atelier brunette heather blazer from this video, didn't look at the written instructions once! Thank you Chelsea, it felt like you were in my sewing room holding my hand the whole way through!!!

[@nazlavclar5791]

I like this video very much! I sometimes watch it to motivate myself for sewing.

Ive just bought pattern wasnt to sure if i can attempt it but seeing your video has give me the confidence to make one, thanks x

[@marievague9169]

Great video beautiful fabric too xx

[@NoThanks28]

Those fabrics😍

[@KK7THK]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I don’t have the pattern (yet!) but I’ve tried blazers a few times before and the collar notches always confused me with other instructions. I’ve donated more than I care to admit when I couldn’t make it make sense. Now I think I can go back and make a few more (and it’s a great excuse to buy new fabric!).

[@shereewilliamson9559]

Thanks so much. I have the fabric and the pattern but just need it to cool up a bit before I start. I live in Queensland Australia and we are in the midst of summer. Bring on Autumn.

[@Sewing_revolution]

Outstanding 😍 thank you ma'am

[@tzenikafaraki3363]

Thank you!!!

[@cherylp.3347]

Looks like a nice blazer pattern. I’m searching for one to make for our autumn season now in NZ. This sew along will be very helpful should I choose this pattern. I’ve never made a blazer or any kind of jacket, let alone a lined one. A bit intimidating. I love watching your videos whether I have the pattern or not. 😌

[@metalkingtohorses]

great easy to follow video

[@RhondaLogan123]

Love this! Totally inspired now to buy the pattern and make it. I thought it looked out of my league before as I tried a Burda blazer that I gave up on midway but this tutorial explains making it so well.

[@miaw1527]

I am using the Burda blazer as well.. I couldn't understand what's going on neither. Her tutorial is so good.

[@cressidaaaaa]

OMG THANK YOU! I could never finish a closing the lining on the jacket

[@ellbeeartstudio9053]

Thankyou so much for doing this sew along!!! I'm super nervous about getting the correct interfacing. do you have a supplier or brand you like, and what weight should I get? Thank you! :)

[@kelleypeters22]

This video is so helpful (and so beautifully done!). Would you ever share your lighting/filming setup? Just got my Heather pattern today :)

I came here lets rry for winter

Not gonna lie ... that sleeve situation is scaring me a little 😯🤣 this will be my first ever tailored piece, and I am a little nervous. But this video really helps a lot 🤗

Hi! Can you do a sew along of the Cambria Duster as well! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

Thanks 🙏 thanks 🙏 somuch

[@lynnlegault9297]

I purchased the pdf pattern, I'm excited to get going

[@sharonmayfieldcreative7313]

Watching this video just as I’m about to start attaching the lining to the main fabric by joining the collars.. don’t think I could have worked it out without watching your sew along so thanks you for doing this ! Just one plea... in future videos... could you possibly slow the film down a bit just at key points. I have found it a bit tricky to catch what your doing eg. where you’re attaching that square of fabric to hold the lining in place under the arms. Looking forward to finishing and wearing my Heather 😊

[@FridayPatternCompany]

Thank you for that feedback! I will definitely keep that in mind going forward.

[@aminuhameedah.7961]

How did you manage to cut it? It’s not in the video

[@sharonmayfieldcreative7313]

@@aminuhameedah.7961 do you mean how did I cut the squares of fabric for holding the lining in place ?? I eyeballed it I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ I can’t remember now if there are instructions as to size and shape

[@rawanalalshiekh3860]

I wish if you mentioned how you cut your fabric and the length of each piece

Fantastic video-you make the process look like anyone can give it a go. Very inspiring. Also, love your earrings! Where did you get them?

[@FridayPatternCompany]

They are from a friend of mine who makes beaded jewelry www.brianabol.com/

[@shalojaan1894]

Thank you for making a video instruction for the pattern. I love Friday pattern company. Is the Ilford Jacket made in a similar way?

[@FridayPatternCompany]

We will be doing an Ilford sew along soon!

[@JenRussoMaui]

Aloha Chelsea! I love the videos thank you so much sis it possible to make the blazer with no lining? Thank you!

[@FridayPatternCompany]

I think it is possible! I will add it to my list of ideas for future tutorial videos!

[@consolw]

Love the jacket! Question for you - is there a reason why you prefer to use clips instead of pins? They seem clunky to me.( is that a word?) I’ve used them in quilting but not in dressmaking.

[@silverluna8835]

Love it! Why does the back pattern piece not have interfacing along its entire length? When and how to make understitching? To be a more lasting look after washing... Before joining at the hem?

[@FridayPatternCompany]

This pattern is designed to be unstructured so there is just some body added around the shoulders on the back and not the body. If you wanted to add interfacing all the way down you totally could. I don't quite understand your question about understitching. You want to add it to the hem? Because of the way the hem is turned you don't need understitching to prevent the lining from popping out. If you are talking about topstitching/tacking the hem in place that is covered in the instructions and is done in the last step! You can also email questions to [e-mail]

[@silverluna8835]

Thank you!

[@chelleanne2235]

Super cute. I just asked for this beautiful linen for my birthday along with this pattern. What did you use for the lining? I love how yummy that green looks with the beautiful linen and poppies ✨

[@FridayPatternCompany]

Thank you :) Its a rayon fabric I picked up at melanatedfabrics.com but I think its sold out.

[@chelleanne2235]

@@FridayPatternCompany thank you!

[@louisacampling9721]

Hi just wondering how much interfacing you need?

[@user-um9nf3cy8l]

Just wondering where you got your poppy fabric from?

[@aminuhameedah.7961]

Thank you!!! Very easy to follow... but is there a previous video... the dimensions and d the cutting isn’t here... and one kinda needs that to cut out the fabric

[@FridayPatternCompany]

Hello! Cutting out the pattern isn't covered in the video sew along. There are diagrams and instructions included in the pattern! If a video talking about how to cut out a sewing pattern is something you would like to see I will keep that in mind for the future!

[@meggamillion2014]

Hi! I've been looking everywhere but I can't find a specific recommendation for choosing both the woven and knit interfacings for linen- what is a good weight to go with?

[@adixon6237]

I’m making this at the moment and went with G700 for the cotton woven and vlieseline 609 for the knit interfacing. I followed the Vlieseline website instructions for both as hadn’t used either of these interlining before and ironing them on took ages so allow plenty of time plus the iron on interfacing instruction is easy to miss in the paper instructions.

[@cheri101099]

If we are using thicker fabric such as corduroy do we need to interface all pieces

[@FridayPatternCompany]

You don't have to! It will have a slightly less structured fit but I think it will still look great!

[@julieogstiin]

Hi, just bought this pattern and was wondering if the interfacing is very necessary? I dont have any interfacing fabric or something that can be glued on with heat. Is there a substitue, or can I leavev the step out?

[@FridayPatternCompany]

Hello, the interfacing is going to add body and shape to your blazer. Without it you will have a more unstructured shape which isn't necessarily bad! It also depends on your fabric - if you are working with a sturdier fabric it doesn't matter as much. You will want to interface the area where you sew your button/buttonhole. If you don't have fusible interfacing you can sew some in. I suggest googling sew in interfacing or email us and we can send you some tutorial links. [e-mail]

[@bendenaiikram7487]

Tooop

[@MegSeymour-ob6zf]

In the video when joining the bottom hems you mention a video on creating the corners where is this please.

[@FridayPatternCompany]

Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqrLf4uvq811qZY

[@Callalila]

What is the source for the poppy fabric? I love it!

[@FridayPatternCompany]

You can google "poppy linen fabric" and some options come up. stonemountainfabric.com gets it in stock sometimes but it always sells out quickly!

[@thecpikas]

I noticed you didn't finish the edges of the pocket. Will you be drycleaning the jacket? Or will that not fray there?

[@FridayPatternCompany]

You could finish them but it isn't super necessary as the raw edges are stitched down inside the pocket. If you were using something with a loose weave that unravels a lot you would want to finish them!

[@neonfuzzstudio]

Would it be ok to cut woven interfacing on the bias to replace the knit interfacing? Or, do you know of a source for knit cotton interfacing? I like to sew with only natural fibers, and am having trouble sourcing cotton knit interfacing :( Thanks!!!

[@FridayPatternCompany]

I think that would be okay! I haven't attempted it. It will be a little stiffer but I think it would be fine.

[@neonfuzzstudio]

@@FridayPatternCompany Thank you!! Did your measurements fit exactly with what you have in the Instructions for the size you made? I made up a quick basic toile and it seems big, so I'm wondering if I should size down, or if it will be 'just right' once I make it in the final fabrics... :)

[@FridayPatternCompany]

@@neonfuzzstudio Yes, it is meant to be a bit oversized but you can definitely take it in if you want or size down.

[@neonfuzzstudio]

@@FridayPatternCompany Thank you!! I decided to stick with what I sized into, with a lot of small adjustments to improve fit. One more question - after I set in the sleeves, how should I press those seams? Can't find it in the instructions or video, wondering if I just don't press that seam? :) Thanks!

[@FridayPatternCompany]

@@neonfuzzstudio You can press it! I would probably press the seam away from the sleeve (toward the body of the jacket)

[@ilsecordoni1760]

[@annikacello]

Yes! There are lengthen/shorten lines on the pattern pieces and guidance on how to do it in the instructions.

[@tikaharris5255]

I done took this blazer apart and confused how to sew it back.

[@michelleyoung7364]

Why did you interface the entire front of the blazer?

[@emelierita5363]

We the pattern

[@marie8447]

Would it be OK not to line the jacket? I'm in the middle east and the heat and humidity here is unbearable.

[@FridayPatternCompany]

Hello! Yes, it is doable! I think you would need to create a facing for the back neckline since there isn't one there.

[@landsurveyorclaud]

Did I miss the part where you put the sleeve lining to the body????!!!

[@landsurveyorclaud]

Yes. Yes I did. UGH.

[@barbaraness4507]

So this was confusing. You showed sewing the outside layer, started on the collar, then next frame the lining is already stitched together with the outside. ??

[@flippin1999]

You don’t make a sew a long with a mistake, pop in after it’s made and watched, and then describe how easy it is to fix by pretending it was a different way. 😢
