i HAND SEWED a blanket jacket for the first time (no sewing machine? no problem!)

[@hannahshearman1602]

The second I saw the blue yarn I bet to myself that’s the one that you would pick 😂 but when you went with the pink I was surprised and a little disappointed. It’s a lot of hard work pulling all the pink out to start over But now I’m proud and vindicated since you switched and ultimately went with the blue anyway 🤣🥳🥳

[@JennaPhipps]

The blue was my gut choice and then I contradicted myself because I thought about it for so long 😂 Moral of the story, go with your gut

[@umavandervliet2490]

I was about to comment this haha !!

[@caroleberreur9585]

Same thoughts exactly. Once the pink was chosen, I shouted ‘but it’s not contrasting enough! 😮’

[@halyaboes2813]

I totally thought the exact same thing!!

[@bellis7772]

Same☺️ The jacket looks awesome!

[@jacquelinecasey1361]

I questioned your pink choice….glad you revised trim to the blue, my first choice!😂😂😂😂😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Siennaflower]

I knew from the beginning the blue looked the best against the yellow. Glad you figured that out! Good job, nice jacket!!! ❤️

[@reneetedesco9287]

I knew u wouldn’t be happy with that pink color! Glad you changed it to the blue! That’s what I like about your style is u aren’t afraid to rip something out and start again until u r happy with it!!!

[@xingcat]

Ah, that's the cutest coat! Also, I'm so glad that you switched to the blue. It pops so well against that green and yellow.

[@kellybell6442]

Oh my gosh, Jack loves you sooo much! The way he looks at you 🥺🥰

[@scout72430]

When you first showed the yarn choices I was screaming BLUE!! I was a little surprised you went with the pink because it looked so muted. I'm not sure I would have been able to start over after how far you got, but really happy that you did the blue contrasts so well with the yellow of the blanket!!

[@HaylieMaria]

The way you guys walked with the puppy to and from his vet appointment, was so freaking cute. I feel like that segment was like a little scrapbook in your family’s life! Happy new year!

[@itsdanielson7406]

All the right choices were made in this video.

[@Blastiesz]

when i saw the blue yarn i was like THE CONTRAST and was a lil disappointed when you didnt pick but glad you switched over in the end :)

[@miaochs7716]

True puppy love. Keeping pup warm in your coats

[@regancoker3805]

I thought the blue too - so glad you changed it!!!

[@spikespiegelfanclub]

i love how you show the entire process of your project, including when you decide to go back and redo something. it's really encouraging to watch a talented and prolific crafter like you make mistakes and alter your work. it makes me feel better about having to undo half of the crochet project i was working on for hours because i realized i was crocheting too loosely and it made it get too wide

[@CM-xr7hd]

I'm glad that you change the color of the yarn blue has more contrast 😁

[@maggar56]

Yep me too. I was loudly recommending the blue at the beginning. 😊

[@janaesupuni8140]

My searches are fulllll of blanket jacket tutorials, specially like Erin Robertson. YAAAASSS 🙌🏿💕

[@mindmuddleart2819]

Love it with the blue, the colour really pops!

[@llerena95]

I JUST GOT TO THE PART WHERE YOU SWITCHED TO BLUE!!! Yay!!!!!!

[@not_alex8515]

Whenever I see that you posted a video I get so happy you just make my day better

[@shellylemons]

Jack is so cute!!! Small dogs do not like the snow touching them when they use the bathroom. My rat terrier didn’t even like to get her paws wet! We had to clear a spot in the yard for her. That might be an idea for Jack. Just clear a spot so the snow doesn’t touch him. Love the hand sewing idea.

[@deannajohnson3933]

The thicker yarn really does look better!

[@isabelkassan5244]

That is so attractive! I have never seen a blanket jacket before hand sewn! That may be because I come from a warm climate! You are very clever! Your dogs too are a delight! Aussie Lady!

[@serenabell3962]

So glad you chose blue, defo suits your vibe more :))

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

The blue thread was was my first choice. It gives a nice pop of color. Your doggy book ends are so sweet.

[@stephaniieegarzaa]

Ahh I LOVE An Erin, I was actually just rewatching project runway season 15 😆

[@cathyclark5791]

Awesome choice on the blue blanket stitch!

[@vernieplummer5148]

Oh I win I picked the blue color when you first started lol. That is a really cute jacket and I love that you always recycle things.

[@cathyclark5791]

I saw the girl who made this pattern sew hers, and I fell in love! Yours is equally beautiful!

[@ellienelson4135]

I'm so glad you changed to the blue. That's what I would have picked!

[@mallorieshaw1231]

Was rooting for the blue from the beginning! So glad you changed it 💙

[@TheGardeningArtist]

Oh man the blue looked the best.

[@jeanetteware2911]

Wow! Jenna is there anything you put your mind to you can’t do - and a fantastic personality to boot! 😉😉🙋‍♀️

[@caljacobs3287]

I’ve been obsessed with an erins blanket jackets for a while now and now that you made one I want to try too. It’s so good Jenna!

[@verra85]

definetly goes on the list of 2023 me made!!! thank you Jenna. Happy that you went in the end for the blue..it was the best choice

[@heidibarragan5113]

I'm glad u went with the blue! ... looks great, I can never pull that off! Your creativity came thru.

[@JasmineChan-tq2jf]

Literally the whole first half I was wishing u picked blue so I got so excited when you switched lol. It looks SOOO GOOD.

[@fannypetry3481]

It's amaaaaazing 😍😍 so glad you changed to the blue yarn, it's perfect 🌻🌻 Hello to Benson & Jack!

[@soledaddelrio3653]

So beautiful! The blue yarn was definitely the one! 💖

[@_littlestar_]

YES BLUE !!

[@bgummeson]

When we first got our Jack he had a 24 hour bladder, too. It wasn’t even cold out!! It was September in California!

[@reginatrasht606]

i was about to comment that the blue looks better good thing u changed the yarn 💙

[@charoraimondogarcia]

I was team pink at first but once you got to the point of almost finishing it looked worn out, now with the blue ir looks exentric and soooo cool I want one. Jack is sooooooo cute, I love him! And Benson is the perfect, chill older brother

[@blufaerie]

Blue was definitely the best choice!

[@victoriajankowski1197]

I almost immediately thought, this would be a great homeless outreach project, since a blanket coat is much more socially acceptable than just draping in a blanket on the cold. Wandered over to the sales page and saw there's a long version of the blanket coat!!! I know something I will be doing over the next year!!!!

[@hebulanebula]

I chose the bright blue yarn from the start! Glad you switched 😂 ❤

[@spraycandy01]

Agree. 10/10. And also I need to go to the thrift store asap to make one myself because I need that in my life.

[@christinebard5948]

Such a cute coat!!! And--I am so envious of the sewing supply store you went to to get the snaps!!! Love your show!

[@ritikaberma4003]

When I first saw the options, I was so sure you'd go with blue. Glad I was right at the end lol

[@abolsley1]

Great Inspo! I don't have a blanket! BUT I have a lot of yards of really beautiful LUXE fleece I bought on clearence yrs ago. & enough to do a dog jacket to match!

[@marabanara]

I love that this is legit a sewing project I could take on! With my kids and no space, a sewing machine isn’t realistic for me to have at home. So this would be actually doable for me.

[@annrubino6252]

Great end-choice with the blue. You are tenacious.

[@magpie06]

So glad you changed the rather bleh pink to the vibrant blue! I felt immediately that the pink against that gold was going to be boring, but the blue....BAM! POW! ZING! Granny Jenna. I love it...10 out of 10. 🤩I love it so much, I immediately went out and bought a blanket. Guess what I'll be doing this afternoon? 💗

[@margoskornia3509]

Did you have any issues printing out the pattern? I bought the pattern but can't get more than the first page to print :(

[@munchnmonkey]

Was just looking at An-Erin pattern yesterday to use an old Pendleton blanket on. Your coat came out perfectly...10/10! BUT...I think you need to make two puppy coats the same way because your fur babies need to wear SOMETHING in that cold weather. We live on the Washington coast and winters have lots of cold rain and out Jackwawa hates it. We and him are transplants from Calif., and he holds it forever because he hates the cold rain. We got a "craft show" canopy and put it up in our backyard and he now is fine "going" under it. It has sand bags to keep it from flying into the ocean on a windy day. I bet you see the blanket stitch in your sleep! Congrats on your coat!!

[@annemobley9971]

Hi Jenna, The Jacket is definitely looking better with the blue as it is a complementary Color on the Color wheel for the gold. Benson looks a little put out with Jack taking mom and dads time up. Lol jealous sibling!

[@greenpurl8482]

Jenna! I'm so glad you listened to me and used the blue yarn. You did a great job on the jacket and what a fun project to make it without a sewing machine. Such a great blanket find.

[@emmakotaniemi7924]

Thats The cutest coat ever

[@emmakotaniemi7924]

​@JennaPhipps0 i text you but i dont know If it went teoung

[@smallfootprint2961]

So great. I wondered if you'd like it when I saw it, but that's why I have such a hard time making my decisions... lol. Love the contrast stitching. Thanks for including us.

[@wendystephens2730]

Love the jacket Jenna, it’s beautiful.😼

[@joannescantlebury744]

What an amazing jacket, love the colour combo. Brilliant🌼🌼🌼

[@vogelvrouw]

Omg jack tucked into your coats was so cute, my dog Muffin would love that but my coats aren't big enough for her so she just has to cuddle up with me on the couch in her blankets, and wear warmer coats outside

[@HexPottery]

The best days are days when Jenna posts!!!!

[@loriplate729]

Benson still wondering what happened to his life😂😂 changing to the blue was the right choice for sure, it really popped! Great job Grandma Jenna! Happy new year!,

[@amandabrittenden]

Wow! No sewing machine over here too. I'm a pro at mending my clothes and making fabric flowers, but always thought to make something large and more extravagant I need a machine. No excuses now! 😆

[@AlittlePlush]

Thank you so much I had a fleece blanket that my puppy chewed now I have a project to use it with

[@orendagriffin68]

Love the switch to the blue! I was thinking that from the beginning. Great choice. I missed if the detail was a button hole or snap but it came out great!

[@leelulady2010]

I've been watching some japanese hand sewing videos where they make & use a palm/hand pad thing. It might be helpful for big hand sewing projects too!

[@mansoor3159]

Congratulations dear Jenna for 500K Subscribers 💕🎂🎊 I am so so so so so happy for you 😃✨💐 you deserve more to come

[@kpopsweetlemon1396]

your such an inspiration.

[@victorialove9104]

I love it! It looks great. 10 out of 10 for sure. I purchased a slightly similar pattern that uses embroidery thread to sew it together. I have some vintage cream colored boiled wool and hibiscus pink embroidery thread. I haven't started yet because frankly I'm terrified. I've never sewn anything before, not even a button. Why I thought I could do this is a mystery. Seeing your video is very encouraging even though you make everything look easy and I'm not as talented as you at fiber arts. A rambling way to say thanks for the video. Now to summon up my courage.😁

[@denmark23]

I was legit saying out loud, nooooooo, take the blue.... made me so happy you made it with that in the end.

[@dianneraphael8248]

Jack loves you! Snuggled up on your walk to the vet . Is Benson ok with the new family member? He seems pretty chill. Love your wee dogs. Love your jacket....and the blue is grand.

[@hartvenessa]

Wonderful project. This is my cup of tea. Hand sewn and natural fibers. Great job Jenna.

[@donnasanders6349]

I liked the blue yarn from the beginning. It looks more like you. Didn’t like the pink yarn with the gold color blanket. I really like how you tackle everything.

[@nosilared9658]

I’ve loved Erin since her project runway days she also made a gorgeous coat I so badly wanted to recreate on her season! So pumped to see this video and try it myself now

[@lucylatorre9808]

Omggg you heard me when change die pink to royal blue!!! I love ittt

[@tonyahooker5839]

The blue does look better and I also think the green would have been pretty💜

[@jenniferhaefner9132]

Super cute! You can do that with a sweatshirt, too. Just cut it up the front and blanket stitch around it.

[@brendaclark5216]

Hi Jenna, thanks for sharing the blanket jacket. That is a very cool looking jacket, love the blue stitching so happy you decided to use the blue. 🥰

[@lynnnewton484]

Thanks for providing more thorough instructions! I can't wait to get started.

[@maya-gur695]

It looks so cozy!

[@Lake1ism]

Hi Jenna so happy I found your channel. You're a hoot ! Put house coats on the pups. My sisters Chihuahua is always wearing a little jacket in the house in the winter. Much love to you and thanks for the FUN content.

[@broella6493]

Good job on that jacket! It’s almost as cute as Jack!

[@rossfamily1184]

I made a coat out of a checked wool picnic blanket when I was a teenager. I found the pattern in a magazine and it very cleverly used every single piece of the blanket (with no spare remnants left at all) by cutting it in a specific way. It also had the blanket tassels on the collar and pockets. Everyone used to comment on the coat when I wore it and I absolutely loved it. It was so warm and cosy. I wish I still had it now or could get hold of a copy of the pattern so I could remake it. Sadly despite doing lots of searches online I have never managed to find that pattern or anything like it. Your coat is the nearest to it so I may make one like this for myself. I love it. Xx

[@BobbieesWorld]

That was so cool. I love Jack!! Lol

[@BobbieesWorld]

I have no idea how to get to nicegram. I'll try to Google.

[@yvettefeyjoo-booth2670]

You crack me up Jenna! Love this coat and great choice with the blue! Love listening and watching your videos. Thank you for keeping it light. 👏🏼

[@bettinabrabandt6205]

Love the jacket. Nice choice with the blue yarn. I was surprised you decided the pale rosewood pink first. ….. quick comment. I made a similar project and l washed my blanket on a gentle, cool wool cycle in my washing machine. But it could also be cleaned at the dry cleaners. I think blankets from the thrift store can be quite „dirty“ or „contaminated“ 😅 from whatever the former owner did with it. Use it for Picknick or in the car, etc. …. Thanks for sharing this video… Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@dianegordon2702]

Great jacket btw.

[@Ania_In_UA]

Jack is just so precious 😍 I'm a cat person, but he's an angel 💙

[@JenPolishAholic]

Have you tried a little patch of fake grass inside for Jack? You could put a pee pad under it so it would be easy to clean. I used to have a wiener dog who refused to pee in the rain and I ended up having to put a little patch of fake grass on my patio where the rain didn't hit for him. Love that you took him to the vet to find out he is just holding his pee, I once paid several hundred dollars at the vet (same dog) to find out that he was not losing his hearing, he was just ignoring me lol!

[@JennaPhipps]

I filmed this a couple weeks ago now but once the snow went away, he actually started peeing normally outside again 😂. The cold and snow I guess was a big shock for him as well as having a new home. But he did got 3 full days of only peeing once a day, so that really scared me. Legit once every 24 hours on the dot. Jan 4th update: HE'S POTTY TRAINED NOW AND PEES REGULARLY 🙏

[@spaceyawesome6001]

@@JennaPhipps Yeah, my pug was born and raised in a cold, snowy climate and she STILL hated rain or snow. I think pugs just like a bit of drama :)

[@bgummeson]

Great job! That’s a very interesting method of seaming.❤

[@kskc1234]

Jenna, that came out so much better than I anticipated. It's adorable!. Good choice with the blue, it made everything PoP! You gotta have lots of patience to do that whole jacket with the blanket stitch but as usual you never give up. Just adore your channel and wish we could watch you everyday. Love the way "hubs" is always near you and is there to help whether it's holding the camera or taking puppy to the Vets, but always silent. He's so cute! Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year 🎉

[@Hanaconda_Aquaponics]

I was very surprised you didn't choose the blue yarn to start with. When I was looking at the colours you had available it stood out to me as the only one I liked personally.

My dog always wanted to be loved when I sat down to sew. Finally, I started telling him to "sit there and look pretty like I pay you to do." Yeah, it didn't help with the begging for scratchies but it did make me chuckle. Besides, who am I kidding - I always give in. Love your channel Jenna!

Your inspirational Jenna. I wasn’t taught much at all sewing but did manage to sew a few things like costumes for my kids a couple of times. I like the coat, it’s a neat thing to show that hopefully almost anyone could do if in a tight budget and still keep warm on a cold night!!
