I really watched this video for help with the mining. I felt you just breezed over it like it was an afterthought that we all knew how to do. I needed less time spent on the deconstruction of the sweatshirt and more time spent on the construction process.

[@StitchinHeaven]

Sorry, so many steps to cover. We will discuss a short video to cover the binding in the future.

[@debknight8350]

Yes. I just watched it and was also left wanting more. I hope you got it figured out.

[@jennytobias6551]

I just watched laundry basket quilts tutorial on making a quilted jacket but your tutorial is so much more detailed. I so appreciate all the specific details. I emailed this to my self. I will purchase your pattern. Thanks for making it available as a download. I plan on making a jacket for my 61st Birthday in Jan 2023. My Mom taught me to sew when I was a a teen and now I am 60. I made so many tops, skirts and clothes for myself in high school and later for my kids over the years. A few years ago I decided to learn to quilt. I so love how garment sewing and quilting have now come together.

[@StitchinHeaven]

Thanks for the great comment! The Ladies worked real hard on that one.

[@holisticallyholly4612]

Wow my mom passed away in June with breast cancer and I'm learning to sew in honor of her. The quilt behind you reminds me of her because we had one just like it growing up and then you mentioned the fabric and it was like she is speaking to me through this video. Very touching. It's so hard to understand the difficulties and triumphs breast cancer patients/ survivors have and the families feelings after they lose a loved one to it. I'm a beginner, so this is very challenging, but I must get that fabric now! ❤RIP Mom! 🙏🏼

[@janislong279]

Great video. I learned so much! I too found it to be so much easier to follow than other ones that I have watched. So much more detail. Brilliant!

[@joyscranfield5527]

Remember mom made similar jacket years ago with jelly roll but don't thing she lined it. GREAT JOB ladies.

[@taylordavis8601]

You actually did bring this back in style

[@sandracedar368]

Thank you both for this wonderful tutorial & jacket❣️ It's absolutely beautiful❣️I can't wait to see one❣️ Hoping I'll be so tickled with my results that I'll want to make another......❤️

[@estellawobker3568]

Hi I've made many of these jackets and vests for years. I used the book with patterns by Barbara Bell Doriss..Glad it's back in style.. an Old Girl in KZN SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦

[@debbiewassilschmoekel6753]

Would love to see this jacket modeled on someone. 😄

[@StitchinHeaven]

Hi there, we actually have someone her name is Shelby. She modeled for us back in September. You can skip to 10:15 in the video. facebook.com/stitchinheavenquiltshop/videos/1732252857151563

[@pamsauce8936]

[@StitchinHeaven]

Be sure and send us a finished picture! I hope you have as much fun making it as I did. - Anita

Wonder if there’s a way to sew an invisible zipper into the front? I mean, obviously it would be easy but how would or could you hide the back/inside edges of the zipper?

[@jennytobias6551]

To prevent the fabric from stretching could you use lightweight interfacing or 505 spray? Would this help?

[@maryannnations2993]

Great tutorial but I’m still confused! 😜

[@roxywood5278]

Heard about you/this from Rob Appell thanks so much

[@Sineziapereira]

Parabéns eu gostei muito ieu quero aprender a fazer

[@kathleenalldredge6160]

Morning, in getting the pattern, I'd prefer the paper one but in ordering is it just digital?

[@momdragon75]

I normally wear a 2x -3x sweatshirt ( depends on Manufacturer). Do you have suggestions for us big girls?

[@susanmei9980]

Maybe you could find a pattern that comes 2 sizes larger than you wear, and just cut the pieces out of sweatshirt fabric or even quilt batting. 😊🌷

[@slim215]

Can you use light fusible web double sided to stop the stretching on the sweatshirt?

[@StitchinHeaven]

If you want some additional reinforcement, we don't see why not.

[@splott8]

Where was the fabric made that has the breast cancer photo memory "blocks"?

[@trishpierson-ij1vk]

I need help on the application of the binding please.

[@barbaraanderson2554]

Autocorrect is such a pain. I was talking about needing help with the binding, not mining. Ugh!

[@StitchinHeaven]

happens to me all the time, haha

[@pamsauce8936]

Can you make the squares by strip piecing?

[@StitchinHeaven]

Sure, you will either have to really plan ahead or just go with a scrappy look, but should work. Send me a photo please, [e-mail]

[@angelamcgovern1525]

Would it not be better to buy a sweatshirt pattern, they are cheaper than a quilt pattern, there are also free ones

[@AnitaSouthall]

Hello ladies

[@kathymoser3495]

Loved this tutorial, thank you. Is there any way to deal with the extra bulk on sleeves--I have made a sweatshirt jacket before and there was too much bulk under arm on sleeve from arm pit to elbow. Hard to alter and keep sleeve attachment to body of sweatshirt same measurement. Thank you in advance for help.

[@maryannnations2993]

Great job ladies. I guess the kit is sold out but do you still have the fabric you used for the lining? Thx

[@user-po5tc5li7v]

Очень жаль, что без перевода 😢

[@maryrichardson5528]

Such a nice video but the music in the background totally confused me, I gave up.

[@caddams5345]

28:20 is when I decided to give a 👎. I think most people watching are quilters and want a jacket to show off their skills. You just stopped teaching jacket making at that time in my opinion. Most quilters don't know how to make clothes. It is far easier to teach a simple quilt block than it is to show how to assemble a jacket. The first 11 minute could have been cut and not made me any difference. I know this wasn't made just for me but from other comments it seems I'm not alone. I would rather have had a 5 hour video than this short nothing burger. Is there a time limit for how long your videos can be? I would watch a 5 part series of 1 hour videos. This video would be better for a mostly seamstress channel. Sadly the hunt for a video to make a quilt jacket carries on. 🥺 Anyone who reads this and knows of a good step by step (in detail) quilt jacket tutorial please drop it below.🙏👍 Please and Thank you!
