Sewing A Better Bomber Jacket

[@nockoffbymoe]

Gotta love this guy. So entertaining at the same time teaching well.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

You are kind, thank you and thanks for watching.

[@ladisowunmi776]

Dude is so great .... I love it when pros and cons are brought to open in sewing. Your stomach bulging in the jacket is amazing......great work

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you.

[@sothathappened]

you're delightful! you really made me smile today! Thank you for sharing your journey to making that really good looking jacket! KEEP SEWING!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well thank you for those kind words. I am happy to have entertained and thank you for watching :)

[@TaDarling1]

This video was awesome. I'm a new subscriber and a beginner sewer and you are truly an inspiration. The fact that you did much of the major construction of this jacket using the serger is absolutely stellar! I love your post-construction commentary and how honest you are about any flaws in your garment as well as lessons learned from previous makes. My sewing circle of friends and I have decided that we're going to 'binge-watch' all your sewing-related videos this weekend!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well thank you for the kind words and thank you for hoping on board. I am glad to hear that you appreciate my honesty / my approach. I hope your sewing projects are and will go well and once again, thank you.

[@mscatzord]

Nice! It looks so good! I made my first welt pocket trial yesterday... next level for you: interfacing makes some details more durable and neat.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well good on you trying new things. Hope it went well with the welt pocket? And yes, I definitely need to be using interfacing and will probably do so for the next iteration. I always appreciate the tips & suggestions.

Left handed and sews I’m subscribing !

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you for following along :)

[@MarronStone]

Wish I found this yesterday 😂 I was over thinking how to sew those pockets soooo much. But now I know how it's done yay! Thanks! 😄💪

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well I am happy to have been of assistance, even if it was a bit late. I hope your project ended up well none the less.

[@masteryourmindsetmotivatio7384]

Im loving the music and the work😍

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you!

[@georgianasstudio]

A few suggestions; sharp, quality scissors; baste the zip before sewing; use a 5/8 seam allowance; don't forget to include seam allowance on every seamed edge; with your slopers, for the most part, you only need half the sloper and cut on folded fabric to ensure symmetry. Great work though and love seeing a man sewing!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Those are all great tips, thank you. I've been hearing more about the importance of a good pair of sheers recently so that is my next investment. I make my sloper different on both side to reflect the difference in arm sizes due to an accident as a child. Thank you again.

[@RunFreePK36]

Cornelius Quiring mind if I ask what happened to your arm as a child? I didn’t notice until I read this and now I’m curious. Great video btw!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

A cotton harvester tipped over and fell on top of me. As a result, several nerves at my spine were overstretched or torn and the associated muscle groups never properly developed. I appreciate you asking and thanks for watching.

[@k3of5ks]

Great job. Most impressed with your welt pockets.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well thank you. I have been tweaking and improving my technique. I am almost at a place where I have it down.

[@aronob]

As an eastern western from the northern southern part of Europe I approve the track suit

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well as a somewhat related, southern-born, northern-living man in the western world who has visited the east, I am flattered by your approval. Thanks for watching (and going through the archives).

I was expecting classical music while you were sewing 😂.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Tehehe. Put the video on mute, play some classical music and boom you're right! :)

[@mychereeharris2023]

[@mychereeharris2023]

Cornelius you are awesome! Thanks for your video. I am currently making a jacket trying to learn how to put a waist band on properly.

[@mychereeharris2023]

And your music choice was Awesome!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Good luck with your waistband. Thank you for watching and thank you for the thumbs up.

[@crumpetsteaandsewing]

Wow! I just found you channel! I love men who sew! Well done on this project! Great vid!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I may be biased here, but men who sew are just a bit more sophisticated and in tune with who they are 😋. Thank you.

[@AntAlsalam]

Thanks from Egypt 👍We want to learn more from you.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thanks for watching and I'm happy you're interested in what I do.

[@baz80s18]

I have been sewing for about a year now, but I haven't attempted any garments yet. So now I have bought some patterns and the different fabrics required are a little confusing. Could you do a video on fabric types and how you decide what to use, and what can be substituted etc? The jacket I want to make is very similar to yours, so a video on the different types of fabrics, for different types of garments would be so helpful!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

That's a good idea. I could definitely do a video of this sort. I will add it to my list. For me, I find biggest difference in fabrics is knits vs. weaves. Something I can get into in the video :) Thanks for the suggestion.

[@xxo5294]

wow this is awesome! inspired me to make my own clothes again and use my sewing machine! project runway realness

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well I feel flattered to have inspired. I hope the renewed sewing is going well and thank you for watching.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well I am happy you enjoyed what I have to offer. As for the pocket, let me get in touch with the slow mo guys. 😁

[@frostfire827]

Good video, I do think the jacket would benefit from a good pressing/steaming.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

And just give it that finishing touch, you are right.

[@icarovieira8756]

it could use some lining. the pockets are very well done

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Amen. I made a second, white one right after this one with a beautiful floral lining.

[@level2456]

Hi. Thanks for the video. What are the formulas for calculating the neckline.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Anywhere from 70 - 85% of the neck length, if you're using ribbed knit.

[@africanhistory]

Guy looks like a Jame Bond villian. (who sews)

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Be wary of a man that wields a needle. 😏

[@carvon2007]

The one you had on actually looks pretty good just missing a lining.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well I appreciate your vote of confidence!

[@DFTBEmi]

Thank you for showing the process for welt pockets! I have been struggling with a blazer and I could not figure it out through written instructions

[@CorneliusQuiring]

My pleasure. 1 thing I would recommend though is in that first step where I sewed a rectangle, don't sew the two small bits on the end. Just two straight long lines.

[@MarronStone]

@@CorneliusQuiring but if you don't sew those bits, how will it close neatly?

[@CorneliusQuiring]

@@MarronStone the reason for not seeing the two ends is so that when it is flipped right way round, everything folds neatly into place. It's a bit hard to describe in just words. I recommend trying it with some scraps.

[@MarronStone]

@@CorneliusQuiring ah thanks that does explain it! And I've been working on my first bomber today so I get what you mean. I was just afraid the fabric wouldn't hold and tear/rip.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Especially with the final top stitching it, will hold wonderfully.

[@GMO--ge4ir]

Tip: - It'd be sooo much simpler,easier & more accurate/symmetrical,if you folded all pieces in 1/2 & did your alterations on just the right or left 1/2,before cutting. That way both right & left sides come out exactly the same - completely symmetrical.🤷

[@CorneliusQuiring]

That is a good tip indeed. Thank you for sharing your experience / knowledge and thanks for watching.

[@alexist.5598]

How did you end the seams on the ribbing on the neck??

[@CorneliusQuiring]

serging.

[@susanbeebe8577]

What are you using for marking your lines? Is it chalk?

[@CorneliusQuiring]

It is. It's called a tailor's chalk.

What you sewed in neck

Excellent job! I really enjoyed your energy and gusto! I spend a great deal of time wandering aimlessly around muttering to myself when I sew. Also, what model Singer do you have there? I don't recognize it as one of the classic vintage darlings.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Well thank you and it sounds like you're doing it right muttering & puttering along. 😊 I have a Singer 3102. I read somewhere on it that it is made in Brazil, so who knows what the back story is.
