Fantastic job. When I sew my interfacing to my facing, I place the sticky side up and the right side of the facing. Sew a 1/4 inch seam or less on the edge, now turn the interfacing and it sticks to the wrong side of the fabric and incases both edges and makes a really nice edge. Less bulk and then you can topstitch like you did. No serger thread nice and neat. I hope you can understand.

Wow! What a great tip.🔥 Thanks, Susan!

[@rdarrenstanley]

Truly. What's not not to love? Great design. Immensely clear directions and fantastic videography. So easy to follow along and I feel like I could confidently make one...although I'm a bigger buy and not sure about sizing. But I'll get there! Thanks so much for all of your hard work and sharing your knowledge and skills with the world.

Loved the flat felled seam insight. When convenient, requesting content for men’s upcycling and or hand made clothing items for gift giving purposes. Than you for sharing your awesome content.

If you want to do without the pleats like just a regular denim jacket is the cut still the same for front pieces?

[@radioydom732]

Would u suggest a welt pocket or a patch pocket for this jacket ?

[@booch3984]

sheeeeeshshshahshhs this hard af ma boa

[@Korina01]

Hey I’m a bit confused, i printed size M (test square accurate size) and made it and it looks amazing, but it came out a 48” measured chest. I was expecting 40”. I followed all seam allowance instructions. No clue what happened.

[@Korina01]

Pleats are the directed size. Everything lined up it just came out massive
