PT 1 : Making a Workers Jacket | Merchant & Mills Ottoline Pattern | Slow Fashion

PART 1: Making myself a denim worker jacket using the Merchant and Mills Ottoline Pattern.
Fashion shouldn't be fast or cheap!
WATCH PART 2 HERE - • PT 2 : Making a Worker...
In this week's video, I am making myself workers jacket out of unbleached denim. I split the video into two parts as I want to share as much of the whole process as I can.
Today I am cutting out the pattern, making the patch pockets, side vents and the topstitching. This is a great project for intermediate/experienced sewers and shows the process of making a garment.

I may be trying to make a similar jacket from M&M(not the candy). I'm using their pdf version of the patterns. Your instructions is already helping with my new sew. Thanks

Glad you’re finding it useful! Good luck with your jacket ☺️

At 2 mins in, you say - 'cut one pair - this means 2 pieces'. The important thing here is it is a PAIR, ie left and right, so its really important to flip the pattern over, or cut them together, on folded fabric. The difference is having a disaster or not!

Love the video-but you go so fast through the important detailed parts. I.E.: venting can't really see what you are sewing. I understand as an advanced seamstress. Still would love to see these processes close up and slow. As you can see I am very detail oriented. But can live without and will just rerun. You are a great tutor.
