Sewing Butterick 6882 - Chanel type Jacket, tips and review

[@mrgarner4796]

Beautiful bias join. I can use this also for my quilt binding join. Thank you for all the great visual sewing methods and tips. Love the weights to ensure the jacket hangs properly. Fantastic.

Stunning Marie! So many take aways…thank you.

[@rtblade4]

The jacket would be adorable with navy pants too!

[@elizabethwilson5349]

I like it! I would have put the chain on the outside as a functional decoration. But that’s just me! 😉 You nailed the fit on this and I love the way it looks with the plaid dress. Can’t wait til the next video! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@Kera.S.]

Thank you for always giving such amazing videos. I have learned so much from you! ,,, I can understand you making wearable muslins with inexpensive fabrics. It's yet another good idea.

[@lindaburke3442]

That jacket turned out really great.

[@debr7445]

Great tips on the doublefold bias tape!

[@christinebarker9361]

Loved the tip that you give on cut and turning the bias, the colour goes well with the dress. Now going to watch the hat.

[@zehraatique8495]

That jacket will look nice with the dress and can also be paired with loose dress thanks for sharing your beautiful dress making journey

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you!

[@annesullivan1171]

As always very instructive and nice result 👌😍💕

[@michalrayperkins6298]

Thanks you!👍 your direction are very helpful🪡

[@tammyjanzen8533]

I know you're a professional seamstress & do amazing work, but I really appreciate when you make a mistake. You laugh it off & keep going. I also appreciate your patience with the video. Love the plaid & matching jacket; perfect for that era. My mom loved Jackie Kennedy & how stylish she was.

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you, yes, a very Jackie look 😊 every sewing project will have its own set of challenges I believe. And I also think that a lot of video producers just edit out any problems that they might have come across to appear like everything is always fine. But that's not really reality is it? I think it's important to remember the process of sewing is supposed to be interesting. And sometimes it's those unseen challenges that really make you grow.

[@tammyjanzen8533]

I agree. I'm not as advanced as you are. Sewing is therapy for me. I mostly sew for grand kids & make prizes for my piano students. I mostly make dresses & skirts for myself. I weigh 95 lbs on my fat days haha so it's challenge to get clothes to fit that are grandma appropriate./Thanks again for sharing your gift. I've been trying out some of your ideas.

[@dianemontavon5670]

I would love it if you'd do a video on shoulder pads. Thank you for great videos.

[@mybucoliclife]

Will do!

[@Al-cd2bk]

Love the colour of the jacket .

[@eunicehehir6374]

That plaid is beautiful!

[@dee4174]

Hi Marie, I am still catching up on past videos. I love the look of this Jacket with the plaid dress, especially with your auburn hair! The chain is genius too and elevates the whole piece. I have never seen a channels Jacket so had no idea it was her thing, but saw you use it in your recent jacket for you daughter and assumed that to be the case. Thank you for a great video. ❤

[@1jmass]

I did like your response to the question about how you choose your fabrics. Obviously you enjoy color and pattern, and your finished garments are the best. Perhaps the commenter has not watched the many cool clothing items on KZbin being made from old bedsheets and table cloths. One channel that I love to watch showed how to make a winter coat from an old blanket. It actually turned out much better than I thought it would. People like you are quite creative, and luckily this creativity is shared with us.

[@aribella6913]

I liked the tutorial of the mitered seams of the trim.

[@lindafederer2437]

Love that new look on the pink dress and as always the chickens

[@normacooper6377]

Congratulations on completing a challenging project, not the least of which was the video! It’s always interesting to see what you’re sewing. Thanks for sharing your methods with us.

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you! This one nearly pushed me to the edge... but in the end it worked out :)

[@christinehenwood4411]

Brilliant tutorial and amazing tips, thank you.

[@ckim5134]

Love the green fabric. Glad I found your channel. I am planning on making a bolero jacket and will keep your techniques in mind.

[@mybucoliclife]

Hello! Welcome :) Hope the bolero goes great :)

[@janehammond1322]

I learned some tailoring tips this time.

[@judyhansen6237]

Hi I am new to your channel. Love how you teach! Would so love it if you would make a video on how to make custom shoulder pads! I loved how yours turned out! 😍

[@lindafederer2437]

Oh my gosh it’s gorgeous! I couldn’t wait, so skipped to the end!

[@lydiamoore87]

Another lovely vlog, Marie! I learn from you every time! Thank you x

[@mybucoliclife]

You are so welcome!

[@annesullivan1171]

Don't fret any about shoulder pad section. You more than compensate with all your input helping others have confidence in trying new things 👌❤️

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you!

[@lindafederer2437]

Oh I love your pink dress and as always the chickens.! Can’t wait to watch the jacket

[@lindaburke3442]

I love the two shirts you made for your husband they are beautiful, when did you ever find time?

[@carolineedmistoncooki3fair631]

So EXCITED! This is my ultimate challenge! Can't wait to watch!

[@Iamgone1961]

And please can you tell us about the medieval costume we get little glimpses of in your sewing room 🙏😁😁🌺🌺 Ps another beautiful garment to be proud of 👏👏👏

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you Natasha! So the costume is a work in progress for this fall's Renaissance Fair season. It actually has the Lacy nightgown that I made as a chemise. And I used the same pattern from that blue princess seam dress to make the leather looking lace up vest. Going for a Scottish Warrior Queen type person🤣😁

[@Iamgone1961]

@@mybucoliclife oh wow, that's fantastic 👏

[@mercedesdelcastillo8324]

It came out really good. Your hard work really worked. Never knew about the purpose of the chain I thought it was for show. 😉

[@user-xs4nn5vc9w]

I like the jacket, your location is very green, I like in Arizona.

[@user-xs4nn5vc9w]

I live in Arizona.

[@mybucoliclife]

I lived in Arizona many many years.... a bit brown in general 😊

[@bebe1658]

I would love a video showing your methods on cutting fabrics. Do you cut your paper pattern first? Fabric weights? Pins? Rotary cutter or scissors? Any other tips? It just seems to take me so long. Thank you! Love all your videos!

[@mybucoliclife]

Hello! I think I have shown different parts of my cutting process and various videos but every project is a little different. In general, I pin everything, and I pin it well enough that I will be able to mark all the markings easily. I also take my time when I am cutting out things. And I use scissors unless it is a strip of something, then I might get out an angry rotary cutter. 🤣 And it does take me awhile also 😊

[@alfa5243]

You are an excellent seamstress. I would love to try the sheath dress with the jacket.

[@robyn3349]

Thank you! This type of jacket is on my to be sewn list! I noticed that all the royals wore shoulder pads to the Jubilee.

[@mybucoliclife]

They are coming back in fashion again. Within reason of course. Sometimes I cringe when I think of my jackets in the 80s 🥴😊

[@katheydouglas4587]

I would like to learn about your take on shoulder pads. The way you think about sewing is like I do. The only other person I ever ran into who did was my Mom & sometimes Nancy Zieman.

[@mybucoliclife]

Hello Kathey! I have a playlist called Making the Cardigan Jacket, and there is a video in there about shoulder pads. I hope you like it. I grew up with Sewing With Nancy playing on my Grandma's tv. Good memories!

[@alfa5243]

Green is good

[@debbiestuttgen1825]

Boy does this bring back memories of tailoring classes. I absolutely loved them, but haven't done anything like that for a very long time and it was wonderful to see all that. I was just wondering what would have happened had you trimmed of a little of sleeve head thereby making it little easier to put in the sleeve without puckering. Just a thought.

[@mybucoliclife]

That's a great idea! The fabric was not being agreeable and I think that I got a little frustrated at that point :) The thing with sewing is that there are so many ways to deal with every situation :) Thanks for watching :)

[@lynnleipold2617]

I remember sewing with ultrasuede in the 70’s. You sure couldn’t put pins in that. You would leave holes in it.

[@mybucoliclife]

Yes, This fabric had that look one one side but the other gave it away as a rough polyester :) Not nearly as soft as Ultrasuede either,unfortunately :)

[@lynnleipold2617]

@@mybucoliclife It turned out cute anyway! I think I might have put on the binding like a quilt binding with mitered corners. Do you think that would have been too bulky?
