I Made My Dream Coat

[@NadoCrowFriend]

The “problems” you faced in making your coat were very helpful in showing us how to resolve similar issues ~ The final result was fabulous! Thank you for such fun, informative and well made tutorials!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I am glad to hear that my video was of use to you. Indeed I also learn the most from mistakes. Thanks for watching.

[@numbers122]

I need to tell you that this video made me feel so much better about my sewing, because I thought I'm the only one struggling so much and that it's because I'm talentless and didn't go to school to learn sewing. By struggling I mean that nothing comes out perfect the first time. That there are always mistakes that I see and that it takes ages and lots of swearing and back pain to create a good pattern. While I learned sewing from my grandmother who indeed was a professional and she does everything well the first time - she doesn't need to measure and pin everything - I know, it's experience, but I thought if I'm not THAT then I should just stop. In this video I can see how much effort it took you to create this coat, unlike on a 60 second Tiktok video. I really appreciate it and it's very interesting to watch. Btw. I sometimes sew for my fiancee from your videos and the clothes turn out amazing and he keeps asking for more :)

[@CorneliusQuiring]

First, what a lucky fiancee you have. I wish I had someone to make me clothes too :) Jokes aside, thank you for sharing your struggles. It isn't easy to achieve what we desire when it comes to sewing ... or life. Human bodies are complex and fitting for each one of us is a unique challenge. I am happy to hear that you are keeping at it. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it.

I am a 53 Year old man that has absolutely no sewing or Tailoring experience but I have a very strong desire to learn. My friends say i am to old to start this but I only want to make clothes for me and take it from there

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well, I am here to tell you that you can do it! All you have to do is sit down at your sewing machine and get started. From there, you make your first stitch. Then, just keep taking the next step and before you know it, you've got all sorts of awesome garments for yourself

[@patriciajrs46]

You're never too old to learn. Tell the naysayers to go suck a lemon. Perhaps you could start your journey by cutting a T shirt in half vertically, then pinning each half to your material of choice, then cut those out. The, with right sides together, sew them. It's like puzzle pieces. It takes time and patience. You'll do fine.

[@jcampbell100]

I learned on my own by getting a simple pattern ( sometimes you can even thrift them as they are quite expensive) then learn the sewing terms. If you have a chance to take some beginner courses I highly recommend that. I also thrift fabric as the price of that is very expensive. That way as you are learning you won't be so troubled if it isn't perfect and don't give up. There are so many tutorials to help with every stage of your journey.

[@Windle_Poons]

Im a 52 year old man who had almost no sewing experience till last year. I just finished a first attempt at a waistcoat and next is a frock coat. Your not too old. (No one is...)

[@EbonyBladeXX.mp3]

DO IT! Im getting my first machine this weekend. We are on this journey together my friend!

[@saiitome]

Oh wow this is amazing! Your pattern is near perfect, the fit is soooo good 👍. I'm a men's tailor so I know what I'm talking about. You seem to be very into the shape and style of the garments, which is very interesting in itself. However, if you want to dive into more classic tailoring I suggest you look into "turn of cloth". A thick fabric like this needs a lot of fabric "to turn" so for example the upper collar needs to be significantly bigger than the under collar. I can see the under collar peeking out, when in proper tailoring it should be invisible. Also, the amount of extra lining fabric above the vent, well in this type of fabric I would go for 10-15 cm! This is because the wool stretches and moves with the body and the lining doesn't so it needs to be a lot bigger. This is in no way meant as criticism, you've created a beautiful coat that fits you perfectly 😍. (Some of us go all nerdy with all the details of tailoring, some of us don't. Whatever floats your boat is perfectly fine.) I'm definitely subscribing and looking forward to upcoming projects!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you for the kind words and I really appreciate the feedback. I am entirely self-taught and don't know the industry terms so it's good to hear them from a professional. I use mostly my own made of phrases. You're the first person who has pointed out the collar. After I made it, I realized that it didn't look quite right and so looking at my bough coat, I noticed that they used lightweight wool on the underside and it was "turned in" as you say. I am striving for excellence so I appreciate your feedback. As for the vent, I thought I was already adding a lot by adding an extra inch or 2, so knowing you do even more is good to know. Thanks again for watching and sharing your thoughts.

Let it never be said that sewing, drafting and designing are drama-free pursuits. In fact, there’s a mixture of both joy and tension even in the easiest of projects. Very well done C. A beautifully designed and drafted coat. You are a man who doesn’t give up. 💙

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Preach! I'm happy to hear I am not the only one who experiences the challenges. I was feeling quite tested by the thick fabric of this final coat. It all felt new again. Nice to hear from you and thanks for watching.

[@theresalwayssomethingtobui944]

Congratulations! Beautiful piece! What I always find amazing with your wardrobe adittions is the fact that the bespoke measurements, like your shoulder taper or arm size, make it appear perfectly symmetrical. The eye is tricked so well by your cuts not warping or hanging wrong - chef's kiss for your sewing!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

You are kind, thank you! I do like to put too much effort into the little details. I am glad you hear you appreciate these sorts of things too. Thank you for watching and chiming in.

[@jcampbell100]

Oh my what a beautiful coat. I decided to try sewing again after many years. I took on a tailored shirt ( ladies) for my first project. It was hilarious. White shirt, white interfacing, cuffs with placket, collar with stand, sleeves, button holes, buttons there were times I was so confused I had to watch many KZbin videos AND I HAD A COMMERCIAL PATTERN to follow. Anyway it turned out wearable and I went on to try a coat a bit like yours. Again with a commercial pattern. It turned out horrible but watching your video I can really see what went wrong and I am going to try again. ( Thankfully I thrifted the fabric so only a lot of time spent). You are a real talent and thank you for the informative and quite amusing video.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Good on you for remaining persistent. Thank you for the kind words and for watching. Happy sewing ... again :)

[@thinkingahead6750]

I do enjoy your videos. It must feel really good to be something that fits so perfectly that you have made yourself. The challenge now is to maintain the body shape that fits the coat. PS I have a camel coat tailored on Saville Row in 1978 that I still wear. It had to be adjusted slightly as it seemed to have shrunk around the middle :) but still fits well. A point I was asked when it was being made was "do I wear the collar up?", If I wore it up (which I do only very rare occaisions when the weather demands it) then the underside of the collar is made from the same fabric as the back of the coat. On my jackets (always worn collar down) there is a lighter material on the collar underside . Keep it going you are an inspiration

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh nice! May the coat live on for another 40+ years :) Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself. It's great to get to hear about the folks watching my content. Thank you.

I thought if I fit it to me, it would only accentuate my imbalance, but now I see that if it was properly fitted, it would only look amazing! Thanks for this!!!!!!!

[@Gorerotted27]

Having started my own quest for the 'perfect jacket' I know the sheer amount of effort and determination it must have taken to create that coat, it's a masterpiece! You have inspired me to look more into pattern drafting. I've tried to shortcut by combining two patterns I like aspects of, but I'm finding the gap in my understanding of how to re-draft patterns means I'm struggling to make it work. Seeing your ability to rectify issues in the sewing by redrafting is like wizardry compared to where I'm at with it all!!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

It's definitely a challenge but I try to see it see it as a whole bunch of really tiny manageable steps stitched together. With enough mistakes and practise, I have full confidence you can figure it out!

[@this_jedi_crafts6626]

Wow - amazing work. Your videos capture the frustration and hours of work that one goes through to create anything (for me) from a costume suit to a full length, tailored men's jacket. I've also learned the value of doing mockups or samples - takes more time but it's better for mistakes to happen there then on "fashion fabrics." You also inspired me to buy the Winifred Aldrich book "Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear" which I am just delving into. It should be a great resource as (eventually) I want to move from making Cosplay "costumes," to mens' clothing that really fits (like the pieces you have created). Thanks again for the great content.

Love the coat. I admire all the work that was put into making it. I love the design and the placement of the pockets. No way you could find it in anything store bought. I love that about sewing. It's besoke to what you like and need. My one critique would be on the collar and lapels. You can see the seam on them and it should be hidden underneath. To make that possible, you usually cut the facing on the lapel part a bit larger and the undercollar a bit smaller, so that it pulls on the outer collar and hides the seam. Not sure I'm explaining it well. You can read about 'turn of cloth'. It becomes more important, the thicker the fabric you're using is.

[@cyborge78]

Your seems are very clean. Shoulder insertions are still a pain. Very nicely done.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you. Happy to hear I'm not the only one who has challenges.

[@alltraveler]

Beautiful coat, beautiful human . I so appreciate your process when trying to show my grandchildren how to make any thing. So, a tip from gramma. Use the seam ripper bead towards the fabric. The long leg is for picking out a couple threads to open a spit for the bead side. I have had to hide a few cuts so hard way, learned . Do watch. Some video on the why of tailoring a coat. Might find some interesting things there, reducing bulk areas, strengthening others, shoulders pads ( not 8o’s) but to firm up the profile and you can make them different thicknesses Then “bag” the lining. Not attaching it the whole way across the bottom. Hemming separately the providing attachment loops. Helps with fit and comfort. There is a historical costuming video on how sleeves were set it which just makes so much sense. I wish I had these links for you. I learned to sew from my grandmother and she still leans over my shoulder. Helping me. Good luck I will keep watching.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with myself and others in the comments here. 🙏🏻 I'm always looking to learn more so I'll search for the resources you mention.

[@carriekilbourne-quirk166]

The coat looks great! One thing I would suggest is using interfacing in more areas. I noticed you used it around the chest pockets, but I would also suggest looking into using it around the collar, lapels, cuffs, and under where the buttons/button holes are. Can give a bit more structure and sharpness to the collar, and reinforces the buttons as they get a lot of strain. Also, understitching can be very helpful for keeping under layers from rolling out and being visible. But seriously the coat looks great! Just more fun tailoring things to look into😄

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Uma caseadeira Reece é demasiado caro adquirir se não for para ser utilizada com frequência ou numa produção alta de roupas, elas fazem a casa pelo avesso para que a costura feita pelo looper inferior fique aparente quando do término da execução da casa. Contudo, os caseadores domésticos com cames para casas olho dão excelentes resultados! Um abraço para você, aqui do Brasil!

Obrigado pela sugestão. É uma boa. Vou considerar isso para projetos futuros.

What à wonderfull vidéo! I am in the samedi process these days, but watching your video, it seems like you didn't interfaced at all the front panel, the lapel or the back... do you confirm? And would you recommend interfacing? Or you don't feel the need?

I did not interface the panels, correct. I think it is really a matter of preference. I made my coat with really heavy wool fabric and so it sits nicely without needing interfacing to keep its form. If I went with a light fabric, perhaps I would consider it. Good luck with your coat. Let me know how it goes.
