Sewing an ORGANZA JACKET - THISISKACHI DIY

I wanted to challenge me a bit with using a fabric I normally would never use: Silk organza!
And we're going to make a jacket out of it. The jacket is based on my Lucy jacket pattern from my collection which you are asking about for so long!

[@IsabellaSchicho]

This jacket is actually great to practice french seams. I feel like it also allows for the inside to have an absolutelty neat finish. Amazing job!!!

[@THISISKACHI]

Yes indeed! It's great practice 🥰 thank you 🥰

[@zkargottvanhazent]

It always amazes me how a piece of fabric can become something so elegant like this. Kudos! Your work is stunning. 🖤

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you 🥰

[@backs3atdriver]

the jacket came out SO beautifully and elegant, I love all your sewing videos and they’re so inspiring

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@riyaxmaria]

this looks so amazing!

[@THISISKACHI]

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@elisabrient2729]

This looks amazing 😍 i want one right one but I’m scared that I’m not used to sewing enough to be able to do this jacket (would really appreciate a tutorial on collars for blouses etc 🥰) Always love your work, it’s so stunning ♥️ (PS : I asked you advices for the corset belt and sewed it a few weeks ago, it fits perfectly ! Thank you so much 🥰)

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you 🥰 I included a written instructions pdf in the pattern download - you should be able to make the jacket with it. And of course, I am always here to answer any questions you might have 🥰 it's up to you but I would take the challenge 🤙🏻 I'm really glad the corset belt fits you well! 💪🏻💪🏻

[@sugarhouse1212]

Beautiful jacket. Such a gorgeous presentation and adore the finished design. You Rock organza

[@shikmalagbas9721]

I’m here to say you’re becoming my fav youtuber, I’m thinking of signing up to a sewing class thanks to your videos 😍😍

[@THISISKACHI]

😍😍😍 thank you so much!!! You have no idea how happy I am because of your comment 🥰🥰

[@wendymoss4817]

Good grief I made a number of organza jackets about 20 years ago. It’s amazing how fashion comes back in cycles ( also with french seams )

[@THISISKACHI]

Oh yes everything comes back again, just in a slight different variety! 🥰 but that's how the design process works - you always get your inspiration from somewhere, mostly from some previous fashion collections 💪🏻

[@germainelathouras1875]

I absolutely love this you have done a great job thank you for sharing

[@PsychicKathleen]

Such a beautiful jacket! I was so inspired I went off to etsy and promptly ordered 4 yds of pink/peach organza! I love this idea for a light coverup for summer - airy, light, sun protection and SO pretty! Thank you so much for this instructional video. I'm saving it in my favourite sewing video file for sure :)

[@ima.muslimah...]

My sewing was really bad few months ago but improved a lot through watching your videos. and how do you sew through the pin?? I broke 3 needles trying this

[@THISISKACHI]

That makes me so happy! I am not actually sewing on the pins, the needle always goes over them and as I am working on a heavy duty industrial machine that can handle pins in the work, I am fine. For normal machines, I do suggest to take them out before you sew. 🥰

[@ima.muslimah...]

@@THISISKACHI Oh !! Thanks a lot

[@ellehaynes2800]

Looks really good!👏🏾👏🏾

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you 🥰

[@emmenam]

I love love love how the jacket turned out! Didn't even think I wanted something like that but now I'm considering making one for myself

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you 🥰 Same haha!

[@aswo07]

Really love how the jacket turns out all of your designs are beautiful and adorable! Been binge watching your content this couple of days! I am just learning to sew and I am learning a lot from your videos! it might be helpful if you can narate which part of the jacket that you are currently sewing, for example the shoulder seam first, then the side seam, or something like that. It will be really helpful as we can learn how we can decide which order should be sewn first? cause different material requires different order right? 😂 Especially with this organza material :D if it’s not too much trouble though! I am already loving your content, keep it coming, i’ll be watching every single one of them 💕

[@MG-oc2us]

I love watching your videos! You give me so much inspiration for my own projects

[@Marine-fy4vz]

It’s so cuuuute😍 and you’re so beautiful ☺️

[@taylortjon9124]

Ughhhhh its so beahtifullllllllllllllllll. Its making me angry how beautiful it is because I don't have it!!!!!! 😥😥😥😥😥😥 amazing work baby girl!!!!!

[@Doorto_theriver]

@thisiskachi this is SO BEAUTIFUL! In your pattern do you have options to make it into a blouse in stead of a jacket? Thank you! xx

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you! No I don't - but it's easy to just cut it off at a length you like. I suggest to always make a mock up anyway so fit it on your body and determine the hem line 🥰

[@jancysantamaria6097]

espectacular

[@cosminelaancuta3790]

So elegant and feminine looking. Maybe the sleeves needs to be attached on the bodies little higher on the shoulders. This is just what I would change

[@THISISKACHI]

I like the sloped shoulder look, but for your project, you are free to do whatever you like 🥰

[@nevermind8895]

Quick question, did you add buttonholes before adding the facing in the front or after, and which type did you use, bound, machine, or hand sewn?

[@beatricenowell8207]

Your consideration of the garments seam finishing was on point! Consideration: If you/your clients plan to have the jacket cleaned, the interlining choice may need to be reconsidered. Sinamay can be a high quality woven with a good stiffener. However the glue used on the abaca fibers (manila hemp) allow it to be easily molded, reshaped, curled or twisted when steam, water or other damping products gets near it, making it perfect for millinery purposes. However sinamay incorporated into a beautiful silk garament could behave differently.

[@THISISKACHI]

Good to know!! Thanks so much 🥰 I will try out the material I used if it behaves like sinamay (I don't know exactly if it actually is sinamay or just a tulle like netting) and see if it molds/shrinks/changes shape with heat. Thank you 🥰

[@PsychicKathleen]

What would you recommend? Using more of the organza? I was wondering this too - it's nice to use the same colour in the interlining. I think that added a nice touch to keep the colour darker but consistent with the fashion fabric.

[@ΙωάνναΜανούσου]

hi Kasi, you did exellent work!! can i ask you, wich sewing machine do you use?

[@GaliadelaRosa]

Its stunning! I have some buttery organza lying around that i have been avoiding lol but this is so lovely i might try it!

[@THISISKACHI]

That's exciting! 🥰🥰

[@janbertadriano7130]

Alexander McQueen vibes. Luv luv luv

[@meerabakshi2676]

you yourself look like a doll! Very nice personality. I have organza material and looking for pattern for a top. Thanks for this video.

[@00777miki]

This is absolutely stuning! I was thinking to sew something similar then I got to your video. Few days ago I sew organza blouse and i was glad with the result but I was searching for better solution. For other project with organza I will try french seem. I'm begginer so this tricks and tips means a lot to me. Thank you very much. Best regards :)

[@iwanxlojjiz9986]

Love it, simply love it! Congratulations! I'd love to make it for my dolls. And, your designs are really unique, congrats again.

[@aimster2084]

It's almost like a blush trench coat. It's beautiful, and I love it. So much. How perfect for spring!

[@violetadominguez6632]

How do you sew on organza?? It keeps shifting and Im afraid of back tacking

[@angelahudson5812]

Absolutely beautiful!!! New subscriber! 😊

[@catherineng7188]

Love it 😍 may I know how many meters of fabric is needed to make this?

[@tkdleigh]

Watching you is giving me dare to dream sewing vibes!!!

[@clarahaydee971]

What website do you use to make your patterns ?

[@thelightinyoureyes]

How did you get you belt to close/stay flat against your body. I couldn’t see buttons when the jacket was on the dress form?

[@THISISKACHI]

I used hooks and eyes! 🥰

[@MaddieLynn]

Your videos are honestly so soothing💕

[@anelena9]

it turned out so cool!! I'd love it in black 🖤

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you 🥰

[@b.h.9045]

You look like you could be related to the Haim sisters..

[@bellasmith8821]

Oh my godd this is beautiful! 😍 And yes I would lovvvee a pattern/tutorial on collars for blouses!! One of my dream items is a beautiful classic tailored silk/rayon button up (like what all the business woman in movies wear), I haven't been able to find a pattern yet especially one that allows for a chest 🙂 (I'm B 95cm, W 70cm,H 100cm)

[@THISISKACHI]

Thank you 🥰 I will make a collar video soon - that builds on my dress block I did already. That can be made to your specific size which should fit perfectly 🥰

[@bellasmith8821]

@@THISISKACHI that would be amazing! I look forward to it 😁

[@murl6943]

Looks amazing, can't wait for the pattern for the thicker corset jacket!! Will def make that

Total schön! Sag Mal, wo hast du denn nähen gelernt? Selber beigebracht oder in einer Ausbildung?:)

Ich hab Modedesign studiert und meinen Bachelor darin gemacht 👍🏻 Schnitt/Nähtechnik ist Teil des Studiums

[@janinekluge8769]

An der AMD? Ich studiere gerade Informatik an der LMU, aber manchmal würde ich auch lieber so etwas handwerklich kreatives machen:) mit so tollen Videos wie deinen kann ich ganz schön viel lernen. Danke für deine Mühe:) ich freue mich auf kommende Videos!

[@THISISKACHI]

Ja genau 👍🏻 dort hab ich 2017 meinen Abschluss gemacht 😊 ich kann dich total verstehen, ich brauchte auch immer ein kreatives Ventil während meines (trockenen) Masters 🙈

[@janinekluge8769]

Ah cool, ich hatte mir die AMD tatsächlich auch mal angeschaut... was machst du denn jetzt für einen Master?:)

[@THISISKACHI]

Ich bin schon fertig mit dem Master, hab den 2019 beendet 🤙🏻 mache gerade meinen Doktor in Medienökonomie - den Master hab ich in Medien- und Kommunikationsmanagement gemacht 🥰

[@lovechoseme4410]

Great job!!!❤

[@emilyb5983]

this looks so cool! i want to make it over spring break but your size chart is a bit confusing, are the numbers in the bottom chart in inch’s?

[@THISISKACHI]

Yes, I'm sorry if the inches are confusing, they confuse me myself as I am using metrics. The jacket is very oversized - I am wearing a size S, maybe that helps as orientation. The only measurement that needs to fit is the waist, all others are oversized.
