Beautiful makes Amelia. Your crochet vest is very special - it’s wonderful how handcrafts can link generations in a family.

Love your cosy makes Amelia. I'm inspired to make a teddy fleece lined quilted coat for next winter. Thank you for sharing!

[@ameliaellensews]

Thank you so much for your comment! It really is very, very warm! And also comfy to wear too 😊

[@lovejohandmade]

I love all your makes but especially the pogonip and the embroidered jumper you’re wearing. I’ll be stealing that idea when I’ve learnt a bit of embroidery. Thank you.

[@ameliaellensews]

Thank you so much, the embroidery is such a lovely way to add details to our garments. And really enjoyable too 😊

[@KnitStitchGrow]

great cosy makes Amelia! I love how your Emmi jacket turned out. Such a practical design being able to change the collars out but looks modern too ❤

[@ameliaellensews]

Thank you so much for your comment, I am really pleased with the Emmi coat! It is great to have the different collar/hood option 😊

[@suebrown5500]

Lovely makes - it takes bravery to make that gorgeous coat! Don’t think I’m there yet !! ❤

[@ameliaellensews]

Thank you so much for your comment! The coat did take a while to make but it was very much worth it! The instructions were so good so it made it easier to make 😊

[@sharoncrawford6450]

Very nice makes. You outdid yourself with that jacket!!! Its gorgeous. It looks better than those in the department stores. Always enjoy your videos.👗🪡🧵🥰

[@ameliaellensews]

Awwww thank you so much for your comment! I am so pleased with the Emmi coat. It was rather ambitious but so much fun to make too! Thank you so much for watching the videos ❤️

[@sewsarahstitch]

Fabulous makes - I especially love your coat, what a great piece! I’ve also bought the fanny pack pattern as I’m coming to London next week and I think this will be great x

[@ameliaellensews]

Thank you for your comment! You will love wearing the Fanny pack! It is such a practical piece and so comfy to wear it too 😊

What kind of sewing machine do you have that you can sew thick fabric ? I love all your beautiful wearables .

[@ameliaellensews]

Thank you for your comment! I have a Brother machine the 420. It is really good at handelling thick fabric ❤️

[@wolfgangshuman]

What did your grandmother think about your collaboration? Looks super cute 😊 that coat looks lovely toasty warm. Your coat collection is very impressive!! Super warm and stylish all winter long 😅

[@ameliaellensews]

Thank you so much for your comment! I do have a good range of coats and jackets! I am very lucky. My grandmother still has not seen the crochet yet. Hopefully she will soon 😊

[@rhondaa18]

I am curious about the coat you made, which is very impressive and well done. What kind of fabric did you use for the outer layer of the coat? Also, how do you size the coat especially when adding a thicker lining? I want to make my own coats with thicker linings for the cold weather. Thank you.

[@ameliaellensews]

Thank you so much for your comment, that is very kind of you to say. The outer layer of the coat is a pre quilted 'Mind the Maker' polyester fabric. I made a size 3 in this coat that was based on my body measurements but the finished garment measurements were bigger than my actual size. It is a bit big but that is good because I can fit layers underneath it. I would always say to check the finished garment measurements of a coat and then make sure you have enough room and to be double sure to make a toile. I hope this helps.

[@rhondaa18]

@@ameliaellensews Thank you. I have thought to take some measurements on existing ready to wear coats that I have. (One got too close to an outdoor heater and melted a hole at the bottom! I have made a “design element” by covering the bottom of this coat with another fabric 😊) I do want to make sure I can wear heavier tops under the coats that I make, and I also want some water resistance with the type of fabric you used. I am inspired by your makes.
