Thank you soooo much! I just finished a suit for a guy that took me about 2 months longer than it should have mainly because I couldn't find instructions, video or written, for a man's lined suit. I had taken apart a different suit to create a basic pattern but my seam ripper got more use than my sewing machine because, although the pieces were cut right, I couldn't figure out what order to put things together because lining man's suit is much different than lining a woman's formal. It's not just duplicate a shirt and sew them inside out 🤣 I took apart another suit and bought a boy's pattern, thinking it was lined but, of course it's not. So, I searched for a man's lined suit pattern and, finally, found this video!!!!! Now I can practice on the little one and then make my man the custom talored suit I want to 😁😁😁😁

Sir, thank you so much for doing these videos. I've always been interested in tailoring, mens suits. I think it's because as a 80s kid, I lived miami vice and as a little girl I loved seeing don johnson and Philip michael thomas in those suits! We women (most of us do) love a man that's put together.

I am trying to follow the instructions on how to make this jacket. I am at the sleeve portion (52:43) and to say I'm frustrated is an understatement. "This" and "that" are not technical terms and follow ex. grab this, take that and fold it there. It's not instructional. I would have loved to see the other side of the garment in areas where the fabric was not a straight fit and explanations for the variances (sleeve again, the split and zig zag stitch on the side front, etc.) The view is one sided, meaning there are places in the video, the sleeve hem, where showing the other side of the fabric is helpful to those of us that have not made this pattern before. My hem did not come together the way its shown in this video because my fabric puckered based on the instructions. There are other mishaps from video to reality (attaching the sleeve corner to the lining after completing the sleeve hem is another) but for those that have been sewing a while, we can certainly make it work. I have been sewing for over 10 years and while I am up for a challenge, I am so disappointed to get this far and are still having trouble. I've come too far to give up so I will improvise but please consider a reshoot of this Sew Along. In the meantime, I will keep watching the video so I can better understand attaching the sleeve lining to the fabric and finish the jacket.

I really need a visual most times and you have come through for me once again. Loved the denim jacket tutorial (made 2 for my sons). Will be searching for this pattern tomorrow. Can't wait to make this. thank you so much. UPDATE: made this in twill to really see if I could actually make it without wasting a ton of money on fine wool. It turned out really nice even in black twill. Rewatched the video cause I'm getting ready to cut out 2 and sew these up for my sons in navy linen. I bought and made your slacks pattern as well. I guess thanks to you I'm one step closer to suit making. Your sew alongs are greatly appreciated and we'll loved.

8:11 notice how he pins this up: pins enter and pierce the stitch line and he checks the back for where the needle exits. This keeps the dart geometry aligned and stable at the machine. Sewing fabrics together usually has a raw edge to align, maybe notches. The lower fabric is in a blind spot at the machine, completely covered with no way to see it once the needle and thread are in use.

9:24 after the dart is sewn, the raw edge is aligned, which only happens if the dart was sewn to the correct size. This dart matches the contours of the waist. If the edge doesn’t match, it will look more straight up and down, or boxy like a t-shirt, and will drape differently with that extra fabric making folds at the hips when buttoned up and you bend at the waist.

15:03 this is an optional step to add bulk and stability at the upper chest. It makes this area a bit more stiff, warmer, makes the lower fabric drape differently, and adds weight which makes it more satisfying to wear. If your belly protrudes a bit or your chest is small, this can make the jacket and you look more normal.
@jamesshaltes654
@jamesshaltes654 Жыл бұрын
15:21 the buildout follows the roll line, which makes that roll over a bit larger of a radius, and makes it a consistent line without creasing when not buttoned. This is important because most blazers are worn unbuttoned, and the consistent roll line and structure makes it wear with nice symmetry, which makes the wearer appear to be more clean and organized.

Hello, in my pattern I noticed that pieces 10 and 11 aren't aligning like the video (19:20). When I line up 11's CF with the top/end of 10 there is a 1 inch gap between the ends of the pattern. In your video they appear to align evenly. I can't move on to sewing 10 and 11 to the neckline because the lining up is not working, there is too much neckline now for the bodice. It is not going around evenly. Any resolve?

This tutorial is so helpful! I'm currently following along on a mock-up before I move on to the final fabric, and I have a question at 9:30 : When you're lining up that gap to stitch it shut, on my mockup, the length doesn't line up perfectly after I sewed the dart the way yours does. There's excess length on bottom part of the piece. Does that make sense? How do I remedy that?
@jamesshaltes654
@jamesshaltes654 Жыл бұрын
If it doesn’t line up, the dart is probably not right. Take a ruler to the pattern between the two dots and compare to the fabric dots. When copying patterns and transferring to fabric, it is common to lose accuracy. There should be a reason to ease that part. Good thing is you don’t have to remove the stitches unless it is the wrong length. You can just fold it over again, make sure you pin ON THE LINE, BOTH SIDES. Put the pin through the line straight in on one side and turn it over to see where the pin came through, adjust the fabric fold until the pin comes through the line on the backside, and then lay the pin flat along the line and push through the line on the backside to come through the line on the front side again. Do that all the way up the dart. Then all you have to do is see right on the line.

14:06 I had a hard time edge-stitching through the seam allowance. Couldn’t ensure the stitch line hit the same way. I think I will come in just past the seam allowance to make kind of a small ridge of the bulk. Just need to make sure I trimmed it down cleanly and in a way that compliments the stitch.

I'm not very familiar with using patterns for sewing clothes (I usually just use measurements and make a mockup, and then pick it apart and use that as my pattern, because I have too weird measurements to make already made patterns work for me, and of course I do my own scribbles and notes of how to sew where on that "pattern" but it's nothing like how professionals do it) so at first I was a bit confused, but once you got to the sewing part of the video things started making sense to me and I learned a lot of of neat techniques. I'm actually looking to make a waistcoat though, but with lapels which is the challenging part for me, so I only watched up until you got to the sleeves. Yes I know waistcoats would have only lining fabric at the back, far less or no interfacing, no vent at the back, etc... but all those details aside, I feel like there are a lot of similarities that I could learn from! Also I may want to make a jacket or coat at some point in the future, I'm still just kinda building up to that. I wouldn't say I'm a beginner at sewing clothes, but I'm mostly self taught, which comes with the drawback of being very out of the loop on how things are supposed to be done professionally. I'm far more skilled with altering already made clothing to fit me better, even suits originally 3-4 sizes too big for me, without it looking weird or bad, including more complex alterations like changing peak lapels to notched, and making the shoulders smaller on jackets. I taught myself how to do completely hidden seams by hand that have been very useful. So I feel a bit more like a beginner trying to tag along in (to me) very strange terminology, than I actually am.

As a cutter by trade I always called the pieces cut as a pair of 2. Top Sleeve, under sleeve, front, back other parts as a pair. All patterns are cut from fabric on the double. (double blocked fabric suiting) Sleeve interfacing must be cut as a pair due to having a left and right part for each sleeve.

Nice sew along, I would have loved to see you totally bag the lining. Is this easy to modify the pattern for welt pockets on the fronts instead of patch pockets?

cohill thanks for watching and i do appreciate the feedback. And yes you can modify the pattern for welt pockets in the front. Just take any double welt pocket pieces and replace the patch pockets.

@@NorrisDantaFord Do you have an instructions on how to bag the lining for the jacket? I'm going to purchase this pattern and give the jacket a go. Another question, the hair canvas, is it fusible or sew in?

Hey Norris - I'm contemplating making this suit jacket for my husband (and the simplicity pattern pants that seem to go with it). Does the pattern allow for lengthening the sleeves so they are more the .. I guess "old" style where they come past the wrist a bit?

I wonder if a build out is making it double layered so when the lapels are showing it’s not a single layer?

Hello, Thank you for the tutorial. I do have two questions. I want to make a slim fit Tuxedo jacket. If I omit the first button will the lapel naturally lay flat? The second question is; if I alter the front bottom of the jacket to give a slight edge where the jacket closes. Meaning make the opening slightly more visible should give me the Tuxedo look? I pray I explained that last question correctly. Thanks for any suggestions and assistance.

How much do tailors typically charge for a custom suit jacket? What about a complete suit, how much would that be?

Chello Norris, I'm back with another question. I don't know what happened to my lapel. I so, didn't sew somethung right. The sharp piece didn't pop out as nicely. Sone how I it wasn't even. I'm going to do a patch job on this jacket's lapel b/c I don't see myself starting over...lol. However, do you have any suggestions/lil secrets when it comes to do the lapel. I'm going to sew another one after I finish this one. So, any extra tips would be greatly appreciated

I've watched this video four times to better understand men's blazer/jacket and I wanted to say thanks for making this pattern! My boyfriend handed me a pattern to make a jacket for him and the pattern was awful! It had no shape, i was so confused since I only make women's clothes. After this video I realized the pattern was terrible and this is the pattern I needed to buy. I bought this jacket and the sleeves are amazing and look professional... the other pattern I had was tube sleeves and I hated it. The other pattern also called for ruffling the man's shoulder sleeve??? it was hot garbage. thanks for making this video xoxo

This is so cool. Why can't I do stuff like that, aaargh! I should really join a club to learn the basic skills and then try to follow your sew-along. Also, the pattern's style seems to be quite short. If I wanted a bit more length, how difficult is it to add that to the pattern?

Always a good idea to re-inforce pocket areas with interfacing, *especially* where lining's involved. I always do.🤷 Speakin' o' which,what type o' lining are ya usin' there❓🤔
