[@franceshanna3724]

You are genius! The best tutorial I could find on this. Thank you.

[@SewAnastasia]

Welcome! 🤗

Kindly show how to do a rounded corner on the front hem of the jacket. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@elzinawhite2032]

Excellent tutorial..Your videos are always on point and easy to follow and comprehend. Thanks for the insight, inspiration and advice ❤️❤️❤️

[@SewAnastasia]

Hey, thanks a bunch for your feedback! It really means a lot to me. I'm glad my tutorials are helping you out and providing you with insight and inspiration. Keep watching!

Super helpful explanation! I have a difficult time finding off the rack sports coats that fit my body proportions. I recently purchased a sports coat I love and that fits in the arms and shoulders but it is too long for my torso. This tutorial will be perfect for guiding me in shortening it. I'll practice on a thrift-store sports coat. While pocket proportions are a consideration, it doesn't matter that in your presentation the pockets are not properly proportioned after hemming (ignore the haters) because I needed a good tutorial on hemming a blazer. Thanks!

I appreciate it! Thanks for watching today. Happy tailoring 🧵

Thanks for sharing how to alter coat with very long length ❤❤❤

[@antoniokinsey4041]

Awesome:)

[@Lickmuffin]

Fascinating to watch! Would like to see how to replicate the curved bottom corners of the jacket.

[@SewAnastasia]

Just cut the curve & do the same thing. You can make it any shape you want really.

​@@SewAnastasiaHi hi Anastasia. I have a soft spot for that name "Anastasia' as in my first year in Primary School, I had a class mate named Anastasia! Ok. So now, I have to go figure out how to make the curved corners, bcuz you didn't show it. Which is very scary 😢😢 when you're repairing a jacket for a customer. And I clicked on your video bcuz I saw the curved corners on yours. O Father in Heaven, I so want to do this right!!! Gracious God Almighty, help me please. 😮😮😢😢❤❤❤ In the Mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen and Amen.

This came out on perfect timing! Thank you!

[@SewAnastasia]

You're so welcome!

Hello Anastasia. Thank you for making this video. ❤

[@SewAnastasia]

You are very welcome! 🤗

[@Escape10mom]

Great info. Always wondered the best way to do this.

[@SewAnastasia]

Thanks for watching today. There are a few ways to do this but I think this method is easy to understand.

[@scribblingfuriously]

I love how you explain things. Do you have any advice for how to shorten the sleeve lengths on blazers? I imagine it's similar to this -- but if buttons are involved, is it just not going to work?

[@SewAnastasia]

Hi, Yes I think I have a video on that. Let me look...... Here it is! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYHCmntnitF5e5o

[@nidiankincaid1504]

excellent tutorial thank you

[@SewAnastasia]

I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to learn.

[@KlingonPrincess]

Super useful! Thank you! 🌻🍄

[@SewAnastasia]

Very welcome 🤗 🥳💖

[@lidabard2121]

Thank you, I appreciate your steps for finishing hem and lining. Very useful information. But, I liked the original better than the after. It seems disproportionate at shoulders (wide) and hips (too narrow) in relation to the length of the jacket. It's all a matter of personal preference. Thanks for the video.

[@BelindaTOV]

Perfect…now let’s fix the arm-pits that are too low. 😊

[@SewAnastasia]

Ahhhh now that’s tricky unless you want to take in the sides & sometimes you can’t fix that unless you add extra fabric there.

[@BelindaTOV]

@@SewAnastasiais there a “plan B”? its arm-pit up or take off the shoulders. I think its juuust big enough to do a little bit of an adjustment. LeChateau blazer i cant wear…..sigh.

[@ritaanderson5541]

Thanks for this. Now to attack my jacket

[@SewAnastasia]

You got this!

[@craftynurs3434]

Where did you purchase the iron?

[@kimdavisjr9713]

What type of steamer do you have!?

[@xxx-il9dv]

Could you have left the lining loose? Rather than stitching the lining and the finish fabric together?

[@pamelaernst5197]

Could have but in mho it wouldn’t look good or function well.

[@SewAnastasia]

Sure but the inside of this jacket was not finished on the edges so you would want to go in there and finish all the edges so you so not have frayed edges and you would probably want to bias bind some of them. It is more work then sewing it back how you found it. I feel like floating linings work best in skirts, dresses and long jackets.

[@xxx-il9dv]

@@SewAnastasia thanks for the info!

[@mariedyde448]

Very nice, but you shouldnt shorten on a line, its too obvious if you dont get it straight, itmuch better about an inch below in just a plain section

[@SewAnastasia]

@@mariedyde448 ok thank you for watching.

[@wendynicholss6886]

What happened to the front curves? Absolutely beautiful jacket but I have to be honest, I think you shortened it too much, sorry☹️

[@SewAnastasia]

@@wendynicholss6886 we all have different styles!

[@ivaivan007]

You shouldn't shortened that much, because now the pockets are really close to the bottom and it doesn't look good.

[@microbiologist50]

lol it doesn’t look professionally done.

[@SewAnastasia]

I’d love to see yours

[@RolandClarke-oq7wu]

It looks incredible, you're just jealous

[@microbiologist50]

@@RolandClarke-oq7wu you sound like an immature 2 year old. Lol Just look at the before and after.
