Jacket January Plans

[@Sew_Over_50]

I love that you guys came out with this channel. I really enjoy watching all three of you interact with each other. The fun part is that it's all about sewing!

[@salliecook7528]

You three lovely ladies make me smile!!! You also give me pause, because I need to get organized and busy!!!! I have never made a coat and am anxious to do so!!!! Looking forward to seeing your makes.

[@marystevenson1559]

Lovely presentation girls! Winter here in Texas is always a toss up, but I'm just all giggles about a vintage quilt turned into The Hovea Jacket by Meagan Nielsen! Seeing everyone with their reveals will be such fun! Love the Vlog!

[@lisagoldring2838]

This popped up on my KZbin recommendations just as I was cutting 9ut 5he Cashmerette Club Kimball Bomber Jacket. Perfect timing!! Tamlyn: Last summer, I made the Deer and Doe Nenuphar Jacket out of linen and I did a Hong Kong finish on the seams. What made it easy was an adjustable bias binding foot for my machine. Once I made the bias strips, attaching them was as easy as serging the edges! Really! It was definitely worth the investment. Good luck!

[@sewagnes6706]

Loving Jacket January! Fab patterns ladies and so different, so it will be great to see them all. Fab fabric too for each one. I've got plans to make the Lagan Coat from Itch to Stitch. Not a jacket, but similar enough, so your challenge is giving me the boost to get started on this coat, so hopefully will join along too. Thanks ladies 😻👍👏

[@deirdrebhandmade]

Great chat ladies -looking forward to what’s coming next xx

[@madebykarenmarie]

Great ideas, ladies! I actually have two jackets on my #makenine list for 2023, so maybe I'll be able to get started on those now with this gentle little push. Thanks!

[@roi-lynnmunsey8317]

I am going to make the cashmerette bomber jacket but I want to finish my style arc kennie top first. I made the Patina which is very similar to the Kennie. I have decided I will just hack the Patina collar/sleeve if I want to do it again because the instructions and even drafting were a little better from my perspective. I hope style arc continues to improve the instructions over time so I find their patterns more enjoyable to sew. I love their aesthetic.

[@meggherson7951]

Had to have those buttons! Thank you for mentioning pigeonwishes!

[@christinemartin9449]

Such a good idea, Jacket January and interesting to see what you are making. Ruan, I think black welt and black buttons would look great. Thanks for doing these videos.

[@patriciadesilva2375]

Hello lovely ladies! So glad you're starting the new year off with "Jacket January". It's just what I needed to get back into my Chanel jacket challenge which I imposed upon myself last October! It's a very slow (but enjoyable) process as I'm following the original method of quilting the lining to the outer fabric and hand stitching all the lining seams over the seam allowances. I've let it sit for the last couple of months to do other less time consuming projects. Off now to re thread my machine and get at it!! I always look forward to your individual vlogs and now your new Sewl Sisters channel. Thank you all for the great content and encouragement you bring to the sewing community. Wishing you much success in all you do. Best wishes from a 77 yr young sewist in Toronto, Canada!

[@theresabyrne300]

I've always a bit afraid of making a jacket but getting inspired to have a go!!

[@christycampbell1874]

Super excited !! Just ordered the Ilford jacket pattern! I made the Julien last month, and it was so frustrating bc the instructions are not good so I don't want to do that one again... It came out super cute and it was for my daughter. She loves it! I am excited to try the Ilford jacket 😍 and sew along with you fab ladies!!

[@annetimmins1915]

Style arc are amazing patterns! If you are an experienced sewist, you'll easily cope with the instructions. Sometimes, it's a relief not to have to wade through pages of very detailed information. Having said that, I've been sewing for donkey's years and still make silly mistakes but have got much better at sorting them out! 🤣 Good luck with the channel ladies! 🥰

[@northernsewlsisters394]

That's great to hear about Style Arc. I love their aesthetic and they have so many amazing patterns. Totally get what you mean about instructions like that - sometimes too much detail can be distracting! Oh everyone makes mistakes I'm sure. Thanks so much for watching x

[@jackief7849]

Hi ladies, love the vlog, can wait to see your makes, what a clever idea, "Jacket January". xx

[@sallyann_axford]

Just catching up with all of your vlogs, amazing Jacket January - top of my sewing plans (when I return from my holiday) is Sienna Maker Jacket by Closet Core so I will be with you x x

[@debithewishfulsewer]

Great to hear your plans girls 😍

[@KarenScott6]

What a super idea to use that SHJ fabric as lining. Now I know what to do with mine. I have another SHJ fabric, the pattern and the lining, but haven't dared start it yet. It will be the Friday Pattern Company Heather Blazer so maybe I will start that this month if I can get all my other work out of the way

[@pinkydoodleful]

Great idea! I’m in … making the Cashmerette Auburn Blazer. Still procrastinating over the welt pocket! I need this push to get me through! Ruan look forward to your tips and tricks! 😂 xx

[@nicolejacques2563]

I have been needing a new jacket/coat for over a year now, and I am really hoping that now is the time I will be able to get it done. I am hoping to use the Peppermint Magazine West End Jacket to make a winter coat I can wear into stores and not sweat buckets in. I want to use all 100% cotton fabrics so that it’s breathable, but I am going to make it lined (with batting between the layers) so it’ll still be warm. This pattern does not include a lining or layers of fabric, so it’ll be a challenge to see how it turns out. I’m not 100% sure how I am even going to do this, but I am motivated so hopefully that will supply the drive. Thank you all so much for fostering this community. I don’t have many people in my life that sew and even fewer that sew clothes, so it is nice to have a community at least online. Best of luck to you on your jackets!

[@jennyturner6399]

Great patterns ladies. 🧶🌈💙🍓

[@katejohnston1127]

usually my timing is rubbish but my husband has asked me to make him a 'cloth worker' jacket... so this challenge should keep me motivated... I'm using the WestEnd jacket from Peppermint magazine... and denim from my stash.!!! think i will make a start now!

[@jacquihooper158]

A great vlog ladies🎉. Style Arc are wonderful patterns and the fit is just right. The Logan will be easy if you have made a shirt before. I am wanting to make the Heather Blazer from Friday Pattern Company - a step up from my last make the Nova coat from Papercut patterns. Love all your plans so looking forward to your progress. Just a note for next videos please can you tell us what the composition of your fabrics are, interested party here.

[@lolawall3561]

I'm just watching this video . The friendship among you three shine through. I think the jacket projects are challenging , but they are great projects and I can't wait to see the results. Best wishes to all three of you.

[@kathyallison1276]

Hi lovely ladies, so excited to see how the jackets turn out. I've just purchased the logan shacket pattern encouraged by watching Sally from Secret life of a seamstress who loves this pattern and has a sew along on her chanel. Thank you for all the work you busy ladies put into sewing community. I'd love to meet you all one day but as I live in West Wales that might be a challenge xxx

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Thank you so much - would love you to join us in sewing your Logan. Yes, Sally's version is lovely. Oh West Wales isn't that far away - I'm sure we could make it happen one day! xx

[@glendavizecky7581]

I've have 4 jackets I want to make. I've had the Metro blazer from Love Notions ever since it came out, I want to make the Itch to Stitch jean jacket and Poas Jacket, I was testing the pattern when I had to had eye surgery for a hole in my retina. So I could finish it, then I lost a bunch of weight and what I have partially done is too big. Great idea for a challenge.

[@kazuritribe]

My jacket pattern II want to use is the Nova coat. While it seems reasonably straightforward, I’m up cycling a plaid wool blanket from my MIL. It is in purple and yellow. Quite a statement jacket. I’m lining it with a Jacaranda coloured lining. (Lilac/purple/bluish colour). Challenge will be pattern patching with limited fabric! It’ll be a challenge too as we are in the height of summer down under!

[@mtkelly33]

Cool I’m planning on making a Sew over it Coco Jacket so that might tie in!

[@lesleysmith7452]

Ooo exciting I might just join in I fancied the Logan but was put off by the instructions. Maybe the ilford jacket but longer like a shacket 🤔 or the quilted hove jacket I’ve looked at that a few times . But probably ilford but more of a shacket! Thank you ladies for letting us join in with you good luck xxxxx

[@StampinDivaUK]

Ooooh, all those jackets look great! The timing of this video is awesome as I've been looking at Jackets and Coats for the past two weeks. I've had fabric waiting for nearly 4 years now and just haven't actually pulled myself together enough to get it done. The joys of sewing with ADHD. However, I'm in desperate need of a coat or jacket this winter and have been trawling through patterns trying to make a decision. Some of the Style Arc ones caught my eye, but I think I finally decided last night that I'm going to do the SewTinaGivens Harlow Jacket. However, that quilted fabric and the pattern that Ruan spoke about are very tempting too!

[@nataliebateman6980]

All your choices are lovely. Particularly love the look Adria pattern, can’t wait to see and hear all about.

[@stellabaker6709]

Tamlyn, don't be put off by Style Arc's reputation - great patterns, and at your experience level, you'll be fine. They have expanded the instructions a bit from the early days, but I find them pretty good. Though it's good for beginners I personally find some patterns have too much instruction and I've forgotten what's written by the time I reach the end of a paragraph! BUT - really check the sizing - I've always found Style Arc's sizing to be generous.

[@kazzie5114]

I was going to say similar! Some of the pattern companies like Tilly give you a sewing lesson which is great for beginners; Style Arc assumes a knowledge of sewing and gives you the instructions to make that particular pattern. I hope that I am not causing offence if I say that Hot Patterns' instructions leave a LOT to be desired, and I say that as someone with about 40 years sewing experience.

[@lindahopkins4389]

I love Style Arc patterns and have made several. I am much less experienced than you and have not had problems with the instructions. Style Arc also are now offering video tutorials for some of their patterns and for specific techniques, eg, the double bodice on some of their dresses which I found useful!

[@vansdeeley7000]

All jackets look great but will be particularly interested in the sew over it one as have been looking at it. Looking forward to hearing all about the sews x Debbie x

[@jackiturner9228]

Tamlyn this is great I just bought the pattern, so excited to make it.

[@anna_notherthing]

Bearing in mind some of the first patterns I ever sewed were StyleArc, the instructions are fine! You can do it…

[@andianderson8936]

I followed Sew Sew Live's Mitchell trousers sewalong to do my first welt pockets so highly recommend that for Ruan's make! I ADORE Rachel's fabrics, what a combo 😍 Tamlyn you'll be grand with StyleArc, their instructions are sparse but you have the sewing experience. I love that you've all chosen completely different things to make and different material types - I can't wait to see them all 💜

[@wendydobler7285]

Love Style Arc patterns! Since you are an experienced sewist, you will have no trouble with the instructions! Also, they have improved their instructions a lot! Love the project! I want to make one too! Love you guys! ❌❌🙋‍♀️

[@jennetthamilton7942]

Three totally different jackets, this is going to be fun! I LOVE my Logan Shacket! I made mine from a very inexpensive pink and grey wool and it was perfect for a Canadian late fall, early winter. I did downsize maybe 2 sizes because I didn't want it to be too oversized but there is still room for a cozy sweater underneath. I chose to do a Hong Kong finish and it was easy to do. The only thing I changed was to move the chest pockets to below the waist just because I wanted usable pockets. The side seam pockets are also a perfect size. I would suggest to Ruan to practice those welt pockets on scrap fabric first. I love the look of a shorter jacket but I just feel more comfortable in a longer jacket. I follow Janine Sews, a fellow Canadian and she has made a white Logan Shacket and it is beautiful and versatile. I have some white heavier weight denim I bought years ago that I would make a lovely shacket from but have decided to make a longer length jean jacket from a pattern I probably have had for 20 years. But who knows I might change my mind and make an entirely different jacket. Good luck ladies with your jackets and I look forward to seeing the finished results.

[@louisecampbell8094]

Great plans ladies 🎉 it’s so refreshing seeing you all together and hearing your ideas for this challenge. They are all going to be gorgeous. Happy Sunday ❤

[@sewsarahstitch]

Oh absolutely fabulous!! This has given me the push I need to date to sew my Grainline Thayer jacket which I have had all the supplies for in the cupboard over a year!!! I have the same pigeon wishes buttons as you Tamlyn for a waistcoat I’m making for my hubby ❤

[@christycampbell1874]

I need to look up pigeon wishes and I'm excited to see your jacket!

[@ISewALot]

I love my Amelia jacket I wear it all the time. It came together really well and is possibly one of the best things I’ve ever made the finish is 👌🏻👌🏻 good luck ladies 😘😘

[@marywallace5248]

A lovely Liberty print for your Hong Kong binding Tamlyn!

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Ooooh great idea!

[@anna_notherthing]

I want to make the Moss jacket by Helen’s Closet. All printed out by Fabulosew since before Xmas, I just need to GET ON WITH IT!

[@christinesmoothy7780]

I have made the Shacket from Style Arc out of Forrest green needle cord and I put wide elastic on the wrists as I found the sleeves really wide, I am not very tall and the sleeves just consumed me. Once the elastic brought them in, it was much better, I live in Australia and it’s ideal for my winters.

[@andreablayney2175]

Thank you ladies. I've promised my son I'll make him an Ilford Jacket but the first toile didn't go well. I struggled with the sleeve placket and the size was not good on him. It left me feeling dejected and I'm not sure how to rectify the issues so I've put off making another toile. Maybe this is the impetus I need to have another try. 🤔🙄😱

[@foxeymoore]

Love the great rapport you have and am so looking forward to seeing your progress .I have never been brave enough to tackle a jacket. Go girls!❤

[@cindy7702]

First time here... This looks like fun

[@vernakg]

I am sewing clothes for grandkids New Look for kids #6398 for the youngest 4 and Butterick #6732 for the almost 10 year old. The fabric is a blue fine corduroy print.

[@geetpetite6864]

Love all your plans and perfect timing as one of my next plans is the Sienna Maker jacket by Closet Core patterns 😀 So, I shall be joining you darlings! X

[@sewvertonmakery]

Love all your jacket plans and love even more that this is a little challenge for everyone. I have two jackets that I have been wanting to make since last November so this is the time for it to happen! Thank you once again fabulous ladies for such brilliant ideas for the sewing community ❤

[@sandracorbett6780]

I adore Style Arc patterns they fit so well, you’re confident at sewing so you will cope with minor instruction ❤

[@pennym2279]

This is so good! Love all the jacket patterns and fabric you have chosen and am really looking forward to seeing them all sew up. I would have loved to take part in this but literally cut out a coat pattern yesterday and not sure I can do a jacket as well but maybe a jacket will be my next big project! Love what you are doing! 😊

[@MichelleSewsAgain]

Tamlyn - I’ve had the Logan on my “to do” list for a while. This is the push I need to get it done! I already have my fabric!! Ruan - I’m excited to follow along with your welt pocket journey!! Rachel - love your lining! Good luck ladies!! I’m in!

[@elainemakin8823]

I’ve just had my Logan Shacket pattern back after buying it in the sale over Christmas then getting it printed on A0, so this is perfect timing for me. I’ve got some pink jumbo cord in my stash that I’m thinking would be perfect for it. Sally (secret life of a seamstress) sews a lot of Style Arc patterns and I watched her sew along for it yesterday. Looking forward to seeing all the end results. Xxx

[@Coastalanne54]

So glad you are doing jackets. I have plans for a green corduroy jacket and pants. I haven’t picked the pattern yet . Happy sewing . Ruan if you do a practice pocket I think you will find it not too difficult.

[@krimhildshutte2132]

I love the idea! @Tamlyn, I've used a Style Are Patterns once and found the fit of the pattern pieces not that great. So my tip for you is to check especially the collar pieces before sewing. @Ruan, before sizing down I would have a closer look at the angels of the shoulders. I found Fibre Mond Patterns have a huge ammount of "falling down" shoulders. When sized down you might lift the whole Jacket to your ears when lifting your arms. Also I would consider a grey lining and buttons, black is such a harsh contrast. @ Rachel, I loooove the lining. Had a lining in blue-green once. Good luck to you three!

[@joancline4844]

Hello girls ….🌺. Love Style Arc .not much instructions but you will find plenty of videos to help ..they are lovely styles and good sizes ..I’ve made about 10 Hope dresses for myself and friends ..💞 can’t wait to see these jackets! Xx x

[@jackiegreen8412]

Love all the Jacket plans! Ruan, I have been eyeing the Adria for sometime too and took the plunge today! I have some quilted fabric for it in my stash and can't wait to get started. I really enjoy the new Northern Sewl Sisters, you are all inspiring and uplifting!

[@funkyneeniestuff]

You ladies are inspiring. I need to trace out my Itch to Stitch Winterthur and make a test version. I have everything I need, but I'm scared to death; I don't want to mess up the fabrics I bought. Ruan, I'm especially looking forward to seeing your Adria jacket. That pattern immediately caught my eye, too! Rachel, I found myself wondering what pattern your blouse is - lovely.

[@janicegeorge9347]

Hi I am watching your video, and funnily enough, I have just cut out the Assembly Line cropped jacket. Not what I planned to do, but I made a mess of the dress I was sewing ( I cut out the wrong size!) Look forward to see what you all create! 👍

[@sharonrush731]

Love tuning into your videos together and individually , can’t wait to see the jackets

[@sallydingle321]

They all look amazing ladies and I can't wait to see them all progress 😁👌. I'm particularly interested in the Adrea... look's so cosy and I'm a fan of the short boxy style 💝😍. Enjoy your sewing girls 😁✊💞😘

[@karenbell740]

looking forward to seeing the finished jackets. Happy sundy sewing x

[@Julie_sews_her_own_clothes]

Fantastic choices, looking forward to following these. I made my first welt pockets on a reversible bomber jacket in knit fabrics. After days of head scratching & staring at the instructions, I found it way easier than my nerves were telling me 😍 I made a second bomber jacket the following week because I loved it so much. I’ll put it on my insta today and may I’ll start wearing it again. I’d been sewing a year when I did mine so you are way capable of tackling it with tricky fabric Rhuan . Happy jacket sewing ladies ❤

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Your jackets are AMAZING!! Thank you so much for tagging us x

[@gingerninja_sews]

Had the Rebecca Page Kingsley jacket sitting in a to do basket, I'm adding lining. I also didn't want to start sewing dresses until I can reduce my waistline a bit 🤣

[@squeezylemon1]

The StyleArc Parker coat is a great, easy pattern with great results....

[@squeezylemon1]

Tamlyn you could always overlock the shacket seams with multicoloured thread for a colourful inside - even though the fabric doesn't fray ......

[@shannon7220]

Hi ladies!! I have made the Logan Shacket and I really like it! My only issue is that I would have preferred the sleeves to have actual cuffs but that is something I can change on my next one. I made it out of flannel and sized down one size and it is still perfectly oversized. Have fun with it Tamlyn and if you have any questions feel free to ask! I love all of your jacket choices - I'm looking forward to seeing them all. Rachel that lining! So beautiful!

[@graceinwood-nan-that-sews-9852]

Thank you, you got thinking to do the Friday pattern company Heather jacket

[@debbiehill2793]

Loving seeing you all together as follow you all on KZbin along with loads of others (I'm addicted 😊) so this is fab....love the Jacket January never made a jacket apart from the Coco from Sew over it which I made during my first sewing projects and its awful 🤣....you 3 are so inspiring I love all your choices ❤️

[@sewlittletime]

Great jacket plans ladies. They Al sounds great and will look forward to seeing them. I'd love to make the Amelia bomber jacket too and so glad Rachel mentioned that fabric for lining, as I have it too and had no idea what to do with it ☺️. Maybe I can finish my sew upcycle jacket that went wrong in line with this xx

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Thank you Karen - yes, that's a great motivation to get it finished! x

[@ByAlissa11]

I love making jacket/coats. I made 2 for the winter, BHL Juliet & Style Arc Ormond. I do have one more on my list, maybe I won’t put it off much longer. Style Arc directions are ok once you just go for it.

[@lindahopkins4389]

Love all your jacket choices, and especially Ruan’s pattern and that green fabric. Just gorgeous!

[@annettecowburn1096]

Like you say ladies, all different styles and skill sets. Excited to see the results.

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Thank you - we're hoping it'll be an inspiring project for the community x

[@pinkpaulasews4929]

Great vlog ladies 😊. That shimmery SHJ fabric has been languishing in my stash too - what a great idea to use it for lining 👏🏼👏🏼

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Such a great idea! x

[@lynnelyons5171]

Great idea for January girls. I love all your plans and ideas. Tamlyn, this might give me the push to finish the Joy jacket! 💕

[@Heyreneesews]

Ok. So, I had a leather sofa. Before getting rid of it, I cut off all the leather to make a jacket some day. I’ve always wanted to make the Rya coat by Fibre Mood. It’s leather. If I make a mistake it will show. I’m very nervous. Very.

[@moirahenriksen3527]

Ooh jacket January thats so good. I’m going to make the Tessuti Tokyo jacket. Will look forward to seeing your jackets.

[@jenismith466]

Lovely idea girls. I am in the southern hemisphere so I am going to make the songbird duster jacket by Pattern Emporium. Have had the pattern for ages so appreciate the prompt.

[@nicky-Sewandsnip]

Great idea ladies, was only thinking yesterday that I needed another denim jacket style for spring

[@carolhughes312]

Tamlyn, The Logan Shacket is a brilliant pattern. I’ve made 3 so far. I have done flat felled seams ( I think that’s what they’re called) . I cut the yoke on one of them on the bias and that one is really comfy- extra bit of give. I had to shorten the length and so had to make a chain stitch to connect the pocket to the front seam to stop them dropping below the hem. It is a really straight forward sew.

[@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668]

All the jackets looks fabulous, can’t wait to see the finished products 🧵🪡💕

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Thank you! We can't either x

[@corrineappleby4934]

That's uncanny as I am mid-jacket now so I will be joining in. I'm making the Kuulas bomber jacket from Named Pattern's Builiding the Pattern book. Can't wait to see all of your makes!

[@tracybarnes6608]

Ooh can’t wait to see them all,I love how different they all are,I just traced out the September coat by Merchant and Mills,but I haven’t chosen fabric yet. Good luck ladies!!!! Xxx

[@quiltygal6981]

Great pattern picks and some gorgeous fabrics. I guess, we here in the Southern bit of the World, can still make a winter jacket. We will be ahead then when winter arrives 😁

[@lianec6135]

Great vlog ladies. I had ideas of making a jacket a couple of years ago, even bought the fabric but I chickened out as I had only been sewing a few months. You've inspired me to have it as a project again. I can destash as well as I still have the fabric 😁. I love the channel, never change your style ladies, it all works beautifully 😍 ❤️

[@LizzlebyDesign]

I'm making the new Closet Core Crew Parchment quilted jacket (this month's Crew offering)! I love outerwear (we use a lot of it in the Pacific Northwest- mostly waterproof !!). I have the Adria jacket on my queue, so am really excited to see how Ruan's works out and any observations that come up. All your jackets are terrific choices!!!

[@Sewingbearclare]

I have the Advid Seamstress The Blazer pattern. I know its not a jacket quite in the same style as outerwear jackets but I would wear it as one. I have the outer fabric (I know you would all love) I just can't find a lining fabric that I feel it sings to me. You guys have lite the fire 🔥 to find the lining and get the jacket made up thank you 😊 Great idea 💡 for January, great vlog, and looking forward to seeing more from you all. Thank you 😊

[@nimuenorth6295]

Love all your choices! Hmmm, maybe I’ll get around to my jacket plans from my 2021 Make9 - Simplicity 8298 but in a softshell. I could certainly do with a lighter water resistant jacket for the not-winter weather we’re having right now.

[@nancyk1056]

Love your plans. A jacket is in my plans for this year, so I am interested in how the process goes.

[@paulawilliams9645]

Lovely plans. Can't wait to see your jackets.

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Thank you x

[@SueTownson]

Great inspiration - i was thrilled to see Style Arc featured as i am so drawn to these patterns. Have bought a few but not yet sewn them so am looking forward to your thoughts. I am excited to see 3 completely different jackets. ❤

[@marleenvankoetsveld3697]

They all look lovely but I'm especially interested in the Amelia jacket. Great idea!

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Thank you - Rachel has made a great choice!

[@reneebontjes238]

Hello from a Northern gal in east central Minnesota, USA You all have inspired me to tackle a project hiding in my stash McCall's M6442 out of a beautiful embroidered wool with satin lining. I have been contemplating underlining it with flannel for extra warmth for our Minnesota winters. I will be posting my progress on Instagram. Did I miss a hashtag for Jacket January?

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Sounds amazing! Yes it’s #SewJacketsWithNSS 😊

[@helenrose4116]

I might join you with the Amelia jacket. It’s been on my wish list for ages as I have the pattern and enough fabric left from the Jessie Coatigan which is another Sew Over it pattern. Jessie is another good trans season jacket. Just need to find the right lining fabric to go with it 😊

[@traceysmith6463]

Amazing patterns, a jacket is something I would like to attempt in the future . Do you think the SHJ shimmery fabric is a good choice for the Patina blouse pattern?

[@soandiesews]

Perfect timing ladies I’ve just started a jacket …I’ve wimped out of the welt pockets though. Good luck Ruan xx

[@sarahhellewell7936]

Great plans!! I was obviously thinking Jacket January too……I am currently making a shacket and have fabric and the pattern ready to make a Sew Over It Jesse Coatigan 😊. Can’t wait to see all of yours made up

[@noemir8262]

Perfect! I still haven't constructed a Butterick jacket that I cut out for Sew Upcycle 2022. Hope this plan can help me just get it DONE!!!! 😘

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Ooh hopefully it's just the motivation you need x

[@julschristey3406]

Great start loving the styles xx

[@slaraffenliv6344]

Very exciting projects!🤩 Can't wait to see the finished jackets. I started my forth Amelia (love that pattern!) before the Christmas-present-making-period, and I need to finish it, because I also really want to mane a coat this winter🧥 Ellen*

[@northernsewlsisters394]

Wow, 4 Amelias - that's a definite achievement! x

[@InAgatasCottage]

Lovely idea ladies. I have in my plans a softshell jacket for Alice. I think I will hack Duke Jacket by Ellie and Mac (I used it before )

[@cjane51]

Oh, I can’t wait to see the quilted jacket Ruan is making. Even after more than 60 years at a sewing machine I am not a fan of StyleArc, and the lack of instructions are concerning. I’m looking forward to seeing how Tamlyn does with it. I love the fabrics that Rachel chose but bomber jackets just aren’t a good look for a 70+ year old woman. Lol.
