Sew Better COATS: 10 tips for sewing success

[@Ellsped10]

A full tutorial including attaching the lining would be wonderful! Especially what kind of interfacing to use! I know that different sections may need different kind of interfacing! So please, please do a video! ❤❤❤

[@joylittle3917]

Yes, please to the above requests!!!!

[@bajaboolie]

Yes on the coat tutorial please 😊. It’s way out of my skill set, but I’m slowly increasing those skills.

[@colettebramwell-colyer]

A full tutorial with attaching the lining and batting would be wonderful.

[@goldogwolly]

This has got to be the most useful sewing tip video I've ever seen! Would love to see more about sewing coats

[@legoartis]

A tutorial on lining or a sewalong would be very much appreciated! That green coat looks wonderful, and the pattern supposed to be outdated, but you made it look very fashionable. I really really want to make a coat, but still, it seems so difficult, I can't bring myself to try.

[@annjelley5363]

Yes please! I would love a coat tutorial. Thank you so much!😊

[@AnnabelYouens]

Your tip adding twill tape to the inner arm is brilliant! I'd love a sew along to a coat and get more tips. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@Jean-ey6pm]

Gorgeous coat! A tutorial would be awesome. Have never made a coat as it seems so intimidating so video would definitely help. Thanks for a very informative video as always.

[@alig8530]

The coat is gorgeous. A sew along would be great on coats.

[@atekandi6715]

Yes to a coat tutorial

[@miriamgladen9615]

I would very much like to see your sewing tutorial for a coat. Have you sewn the second one yet? I like how you explain thoroughly and that you speak clearly and slowly. It makes understanding so much easier for me since English is my second language. Thank you for your efforts.

[@j_guz]

I would love to see a coat tutorial by you Julie! you are amazing and so professional

[@merrilytaylor5327]

Yes, please do a coat video. Your timing is impeccable! I'm getting ready to make another coat as my old coat (made 35 years ago with Vogue pattern that costed $15 !!! I had to save for 2 months to buy supplies) is now threadbare. I didn't know what that meant until now.

[@christinemartin9449]

[@pandas5472]

The coat looks stunning and green colour really suits you. I have just made a coat but need help with buttonholes. If you could help with tutorial on creating buttons holes in wool coats with lining that would be great. Thanks

[@Maria-yf8fp]

Yes! Detailed sew sew-a-long would be awesome. I've never made a coat.

[@sandrarj6429]

Thanks for your coat tips. I started sewing a coat 12 years ago and lost confidence in completing it. Now I'm going to finish it with the very helpful tips you've provided. I'd very much like to see a coat tutorial if you make another coat. I love the lines of the green coat and it goes splendidly with your gorgeous red hair.

[@jamiherlihy2311]

Oh my goodness! I was going to stop the video in the middle and ask you to do a sew-along! Glad I waited until the end. YES!!! Please show me how to make a beautifully tailored coat. I also love the back princess seams. Things I have never done and want to learn include lining, coat, silky or satin fabric and princess seams.

[@riesalipschitz3035]

Yes please to a lining tutorial and to a sew along 😊

[@elsafischer3247]

Yes please show us how to set the sleeves in a coat. Good tutorial thank you

[@annettegentile5197]

I would love to see a tutorial on making a coat and attaching the lining and all the details. Thank you 😊

[@mery.m]

omg you look so classy in those pictures especially your matching hair colour with your shoes and in an contrast colour green and brownish orange. very beautiful.

[@moniquedespins3574]

My grandmother always used soap for marking. I would love to see a coat tutorial. I've been dreaming about making a proper, cream colored wool coat but it's so intimidating.

[@Fucoc]

Another important tip I learned the hard way is to buy quality fabrics! I used a very cheap polyester for my lining, and while it looks beautiful, it pills a lot, and is very static. My cheap wool also started to pill, and you can see the weave underneath. Lastly, there is this issue with cheap buttons that actually fell apart after a while. And my last tip is: do not be afraid of hand sewing. Use real silk twist buttonhole thread and make the buttonholes by hand, and sew in the buttons by hand.

[@martazielinska3491]

Yes, please to full coat tutorial!

[@sewsewtiff]

I love the green coat!

[@sallyadams3981]

[@TheGalactica2001]

[@jinademeo7740]

Love your coat and the tips were extremely helpful I will be tackling my first coats so I am looking forward to using all the tips you recommended.

[@SewMyTime]

I wish I had seen this a week ago. Just finished a coat. It is an oversized one and mostly went well but I know I can do better. I was lucky my fabric is quite forgiving. Mastered welt pockets so pleased with that as it was a goal for 2024. A full tutorial would be great. 😊 Lynne

[@angelapenn4463]

Yes please. A coat tutorial would be great. Especially if you use a pattern we can use ourselves while following it. Your tips are very helpful. Thank you very much. I hadn't been aware of using soap before in that way, but i will definitely use it.

[@christineaitken1144]

Yes please on setting in the sleeve. 😊

[@Seejaysew]

Thank you so much for this video. I’m just cutting out a coat, so these tips are very timely!

[@janiceanderson6775]

I have just found your fantastic channel. I would love to see a coat making tutorial too. Thank you !

[@daleodberg6714]

An absolutely beautiful stunning coat!

[@Whistlewalk]

Just found you. I have a few coats in my plans for this coming year so am delighted. These tips will be useful.

[@kayfeld2931]

yes to sew along

[@daleodberg6714]

That is beautiful work! I love the top of the sleeve. 🌸

[@jackieragan4006]

Yes on the coat tutorial😊

[@rhondaa18]

I would be very interested to see you do a coat making tutorial. I have purchased materials and patterns and have been continuing to research how to create lining and how or whether to interline for a warmer coat! I made a long coat a couple years ago that has dolman sleeves, but I interfaced the whole thing with fusible fleece, and it is extremely heavy 😮 Also, I am not happy with sleeve length having miscalculated and shortened them too much. I don’t wear the coat. Sad. I appreciate your skill and videos.

[@elizabethbabar5174]

Would love a coat sew along 😍 thank you for the tips!

[@domilemeskuotyte9073]

Tutorial about batting would be very very helpful 🙏🙏🙏

[@Ali-ps8rm]

Some really helpful tips that I haven’t heard anywhere else - thank you!

[@beverlyking2985]

Your coat is beautifully made and it looks good on you. Yes, we would love for you to do a complete tutorial on the adjustment for “your size” and sewing techniques, especially for bust adjustments.

[@gretabrown8320]

Beautifully presented

[@pesahson]

Beautiful coat! I bought some older used Burda magazines, because I find the coats and jackets are much more to my taste. Right now there's a lot of oversized sacks, whereas I like them more tailored. I need some shaping in the outerwear and older Burdas have some gems.

[@johneasmith9678]

Yes please do ansew along!

[@melindam1974]

Sometimes even a metal thimble doesn’t seem to be enough. This is when I use a hemostat to pull the needle through.

[@trinesandns4947]

I would love a coat tutorial!

[@gingerwells8210]

Yes a coat tutorial sew a long would be great 😊

[@abzgr2236]

Yes to coat tutorial, and maybe suggestions of patterns to use when following along.

[@jerijones7842]

Please do the coat video. I think that would be wonderful. Yes that is a beautiful coat.

[@TheGalactica2001]

Yes, please!

[@cristinastefan3283]

Yes ,please a tutorial on how to attache the sleeve and a tutorial making off a coat!Thank you!

[@juliemulie1805]

Love my Burda magazine collection! I’ve got more than 10 years of issues back to 2002. Another favorite pattern system is Lutterloh. Glad to see you keep your old issues, they are gold. The patterns repeat as fashion does.

[@Mimjtheone]

What a beautiful coat you show at the end of this video! Making a coat is one of my sewing goals. But I feel I am too new to sewing to give it a try. A full tutorial would be wonderful!

[@mrskby]

Close attention to corners of welt pockets and corners of lapels. Thank you!

[@judyhansen6237]

❤YES… coat tutorial!! 🙏🏻😘I love you’re way of teaching!

[@lisahalmshaw1275]

Yes please to a coat tutorial. OMG I want that coat ❤ it’s to die for!

[@janegoodall2520]

Great! Thankyou. I have a special interest in coat making and have made coats in a variety of designs and fabrics, but several of these tips are new to me. Curiously, one of the hardest parts to get right is the hem corners at the front where the coat opens. A really smooth intersection between the hem piece (I always use a separate facing band) and the vertical front pieces can be a nightmare with some fabrics. Would love some discussion of this.

[@cheryl3366]

I would love to see a tutorial on sewing with boiled wool fabric. Thank you.

[@susanstewart1402]

I would definitely watch a coat tutorial. Your tips are very good. I think a new iron might be needed. Do you have advice about irons? I just subscribed so that I don't miss new episodes. Thank you.

[@bohemiansusan2897]

Sew along for the coat. I figured out the three lines of gathers for sleeves on my own. I use it for setting in all sleeves. Made a big difference and things come out nicely. I was saving up for a coat but found a coat that was in brand new condition at the thrift store for $14. To buy it would have cost me more than $500. I love the wool and that its about mid calf in length. Instead I spent the money on skirts and vests.

[@milenevilela7987]

Yes please do a sew along ❤❤❤

[@stephanielaakson8960]

A coat tutorial would be great!! Have a fabulous today!!

[@maryb.c.507]

Thank you. A tutorial on adding batting would be so helpful, as well as interfacing as others have mentioned.

[@jeanoverand7615]

I would love to see a complete tutorial on coat making. With details about proper pressing and lining.

[@catherinerw1]

That coat is GORGEOUS! I've seen suggestions for a thread-chain to join the the sleeve lining armpit to the coat sleeve armpit, but I like the tape option! I'm part-way through making my second M6800 coat (waiting for the outer fabric, which is on back-order. Wool/cashmere/nylon classic coating, so worth waiting for). Meanwhile the lining is made (and doing any bias dropping), the flat-lining and interfacing is all cut out, the hem facing has been drafted, etc. etc. I've modified the coat to be ankle-length all round.

[@KayL6303]

Your coat is beautiful and the pictures of you modeling it are stunning. Thank you for sharing your sewing knowledge.

[@elisabettacamiciottoli6228]

Really a beautiful pattern that green coat ❤ Thank you!

[@milenevilela7987]

Just came across your channel and love it ❤

[@patriciabee4690]

My worry on coat sewing is the Hem. I find it can be very lumpy. I hate that look. I believe you on the key is Pressing and interfacing.

[@Julija_Gobere]

Vlieseline has special interfacing that might help with this - it’s called ‘Perfect hem’ and it helps create smooth, invisible hem. Gives very professional look👌

[@cls96]

Coat tutorial please!! I LOVE the color of the coat behind you, and I would love to *try* to make it!! What material did you use?

[@Dalal321]

Yes we like 0:15 sew along video please ❤

[@KD-ob1go]

[@jovitahidden4944]

The coat looks amazing, would love a video tutorial 😍

[@sphhyn]

Beautiful coat 😍 I love the color and the pattern

[@spikedcolor]

So helpful, especially the sleeve tips. Thank you!

[@azkaland]

Perfect timing! I'm working on a house coat and will definitely use the dart interfacing and the lining tack! I don't have a clapper but I use my seam roll (sometimes called tailor's sausage) and it works pretty well.

[@lucillemizuno671]

Years ago I was told to take your coat to the cleaners to be “pressed only” for the final look. What do you think. Enjoyed you video.

[@Thecrazyisstrong]

Would love a sew along of a coat.

[@cmoutsat]

Tutorial please on setting the sleeves. Thanks
