Thank you! Glad to hear the video was helpful ❤️

Great video. I’m glad I watched it before I start this jacket. You gave some great tips about gathering and I really like the instructions given for the lining. Thanks. This video is a keeper. 😊

Great to hear 😊 thanks for watching! 💞

This is a sign that I should crack open this pattern. I've had it in my possession for some time now. I was just too intimidated to finally sew it. Thank you so much for this tutorial! It's a great help for an advanced beginner.

[@Sew-Happy]

Glad to hear you're thinking to give it a try. I had the pattern in my stash for quite a while, too, before sewing it up the first time. Lots of steps, but a nice outcome and very achievable! Happy sewing! 🧵

I don't think I would have been able to sew this if it wasn't for your video. Thank you Thank you Thankyou

Awesome jacket! Inspired to make myself one now😂 Your lining instructions were so clear! I would never be able to get that much from the written pattern directions. Thanks so much for sharing! I appreciate it very much!

[@Sew-Happy]

Thanks for taking the time to comment! So glad the video is helpful and I hope you make a super cool jacket! 🕶️

I finished my jacket today! Thank you so much for your clear and concise directions. I worked on it little by little and I am just so proud of the final result. This was the most intermediate project I've done and it's helped my sewing confidence so much. Thaaaaank yoooouuuu!!!

[@Sew-Happy]

Great news!! Congrats on a super cool jacket! ❤️ Lining is always a little extra work .... and so worth it.

[@BlueMelissa]

I’ve been wanting to learn how to Line a jacket for years. I might need this pattern and finally try it!!

[@Sew-Happy]

Great! It is a fun project to tackle! 🧥

[@blandn8878]

Thanks for letting me know - glad it helped! 💞

Thank you that was very helping, what sewing machine do you use if I may ask?

[@Sew-Happy]

Thank you for the comment. For this project, I used a vintage Husqvarna Viking -- a workhorse!

[@hollylawford-smith]

is there an easier way to do the sleeve cuff to jacket lining part? i just can't understand it. would it work to just pull the sleeves through, turn the whole jacket inside out, and handstitch the lining to the ribbing?

[@Sew-Happy]

Sure that would work! 🎉

[@bevtooth]

What amount of ease does this pattern give? Is it a close fitting jacket?

[@Sew-Happy]

It is a comfortable fitting jacket. I wouldn't say close fitting-- just the ribbed knit around bottom will hug your hips.

hello that's one good beautiful sewing machine please kindly film how to thread and operate this sewing machine please ok?thank you very much 😊

[@Sew-Happy]

Thank you very much. This machine is a vintage Husqvarna Viking -- there is a great video on threading it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX_bdqatnJqiisksi=UZqgNr23fRLT13zm

[@cherideer4229]

Do you have a substitute to dental floss?

[@Sew-Happy]

Sure! Any thick thread or thin cording will do the trick! Perhaps crochet thread or thin twine.

[@lindalisella9825]

My question is about pattern size: do I go by bust or hip/waist measurement. The pattern would be a size 12 if by ust, but 14 if by waist.

[@Sew-Happy]

It's a good question. I sewed a size 8, even though I am usually a size 10 for bottoms. After sewing it, I would probably advise to go with hip size, OR grade out at the hip if necessary.

[@lindalisella9825]

@@Sew-Happy ok. Thank you for the quick response. Lisella
