Hemming a coat

[@margobanner1142]

I learned how to sew 50 years ago from sewing patterns. I’ve never before seen a hem like your tutorial produces. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@mainelymenswear]

It's an old school method. More time consuming, but worth it in my opinion.

Thank you for sharing your skills, it's very much appreciated. Greetings from North Wales UK

[@mainelymenswear]

I'm so glad you found it helpful. I haven't posted for awhile because I'm in tailoring school full time. I hope to have more content once I graduate.

@@mainelymenswear I noticed you were over in the UK at tailoring school. Hope you're enjoying both the class and visiting us here in UK. Very best wishes with your studies, I look forward to seeing how you get on.

I love that you are so meticulous and knowledgable about garment construction. I have no issues with being efficient in using sewing time, but throwing garments together quickly is not appealing to me. Perhaps some people can get good results, but I am not one of them. Your content is both informative and inspiring. It is also beautifully produced. Thank you.

[@mainelymenswear]

Thank you for your kind words. I often tell people that if they're looking for immediate gratification , sewing is not the activity for them. It's no different than any craft...furniture making, glass blowing, bird carving, jewelry making. It takes practice, patience, and caring about ones workmanship. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I want all my viewers to get the results that they're really looking for.

The romance of the hem!

[@janet6114]

I love this!

[@mainelymenswear]

I'm glad. It's a technique that works for me every time.

Great tutorial. Interesting.😊

Thank you. So informative.

I came for the hand sewing. I removed the lining from my coat and would like to find a method of invisible stitching. The muslin layer to your lining is a great idea ( I don’t have one) but won’t it look strange when the jacket is open? Beautiful work.

[@mainelymenswear]

The muslin strip is eventually covered by the lining, but it sounds like you're taking out a lining to have an unlined coat / jacket. In that case I would probably do a Hong Kong finish along the bottom edge and then hand sew the hem as invisibly as possible.

@@mainelymenswear Thanks. I’ll try my best.

I am not fond of hand sewing but seeing your results it's superb🧵

[@mainelymenswear]

Don't abandon hand sewing. The right needle and thread can make all the difference.
