Wow! Two stunning coats for 2 lovely ladies. 🥰🥰

[@uniqueellasustainablejewel3049]

Thank you so much Rachel and Nikki for the lovely mension and thank you for the beautiful Lola too!💕 You are so inspiring and I love the coat colours and styles. I would now like to go to the fabric store now and start sewing again after a long time ☺

[@sewingbutterfly3071]

Both great patterns, inspiring video (as ever) & the adorable Lola was the icing on the cake! Fab video 🤩. Thank you, ladies xx

[@StitchSisters]

She is such a gorgeous girl! Glad you liked her cameo!

[@deidrabenson361]

Beautiful coats, beautiful colors!❤️❤️❤️

[@catjones2684]

I’ve just made the Britney Banana Pants and they are EVERYTHING. So well realised and with detailed pattern instructions including photographs of the steps. Heaven

[@lovejohandmade]

Just discovered your channel as a a new sewer/sewist and I thought I loved it enough already and then your doggy appeared! My fav channels have cute dogs and yours is super cute!

[@meghannwhite6633]

Fabulous, as always!

[@StitchSisters]

Thank you so much

[@Leierkastenfraeulein]

I am a huge fan of the vikisews patterns, especially since they come also drafted for shorter persons. Since I am cheap and always use the Russian instructions and a translator, I read it bit by bit, but now I am thinking I maybe need a pattern with the good sounding English instructions. Thank you for taking us through your beautiful coats.

[@StitchSisters]

You are very welcome. We agree that her patterns are superb, very well written and very fashion forward

[@loriannpayne4483]

Wow - gorgeous colors and fun styles! This video reminded me of my sewing journey with the Closet Core Jasika Blazer with royal blue wool and Bemberg lining! I keep forgetting to wear it, so I took it off the mannequin and put it on the back of the kitchen chair to wear it tomorrow. Thanks Ladies!!! Hugs from Oregon.

Hi de hi. Sooo glad to catch up with you both. Kia Ora from downunder NZ. I actually have just taken over the dining area again with my sewing as Son taken over my purpose build sewing and art room.He arrived just before NZ lockdown 2 years ago and still here 🤔. Everyone going Oh No cotton in dinner again. Catch you next post

[@StitchSisters]

Thank you Karen, we have all been there sewing in our dining rooms! Just make sure to make time for yourself and your sewing. It’s good for you!

[@winifredearl5031]

Greetings from New Zealand 🥰 You two are an inspiration, keep up the great work 👍

[@michellecornum5856]

LOVE the coats! Love the sleeves! LOVE the COLORS!!!!

[@evanick823]

Very good review of patterns and the coats are lovely. I'd be interested to see what blazer you will make, I am looking for a good pattern.

[@makeitjoyful]

This was fascinating! I loved learning about the details you put into making your coats. They look lovely! I especially appreciate all the bold colors! Thank you!

[@veragiles981]

Really interesting to hear all about the coat making; they look gorgeous by the way! You've really galvanised me into looking at the Viki Sews patterns as they look gorgeous. Would be interested in another review of the same pattern company. Thanks!

[@tammymasson2343]

Absolutely beautiful coats, ladies!! It’s cool to see you be challenged and that you enjoyed the process. I’m still at the extremely nervous, almost scared stage, and I’m still doing much easier projects! I loved the in depth descriptions of your sewing process on the coats. I agree with Nikki that her sleeves could be a bit longer, but the coat looks totally amazing as is. As always, I love your videos! Thank you! 💕💜💕

[@monicas.7552]

Your coats are gorgeous!

[@JoyfulFreckles]

Thanks for the inspiration ladies! I love how unique each of the makes is, and have been meaning to make the Traveller Coat (which looks a whole list like the Viki Sews pattern). Please do sew the crop jacket and pant combo because that’s next on my list - just can’t quite decide what size pant to get because I’m rather apple shaped.

[@elizabethwilson5349]

I LOVE these coats! The colors are not something I would normally choose for myself, but you ladies look absolutely fabulous! I really like Rachel’s hair. That balance of color is spot on! The way you have styled the coats is stunning! Love your videos. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@jeanetteirons3000]

Love both your coats! Keep up the great work. I’ve just made some vikisews cargo pants and were very excited about all the detailed instructions. Love from NZ.

[@denbeesewswhat9841]

I sewed the free Vikki sews Nikki sweater and even the as a freebie the instructions are very good, even to the point of telling you to baste the ribbed neckband on which I've never done before and it came out perfect! Love 💖 your coats

[@jeanlinder1310]

They look wonderful!

[@opiatepix]

I sewed the Anne cargo pants from Vikisews and I do love the details and the unusual pockets. I would say that the instructions (for an experienced sewist who has been sewing since teen years), it was a bit too detailed. I love new techniques, too but if you want to jump ahead, there was pages and pages to get through. I’m actually just making a second pair right now…(you’re my background sewing vlog!)

[@dianavoermans]

Really colorpopping coats 🤩🤩🤩 Rachel regarding your coat seam hemming: in tailoring school we interface the hem and the area opposite it, so whem hemming it, the you can use the interfacing to pick up treads instead of picking up the wool. Of course making a few samples before is needed 😊

[@sewagnes6706]

Beautiful coats ladies. Those colours are amazing on you both 💙💖 Shame about the issues with the lining and your finishing off Rachel. Really great info for us viewers as always. 😻😻

[@StitchSisters]

The lining was worth it in the long run as it is so lux and gorgeous but just difficult to work with. You just never know as a sewist how the fabric will react Hope your well lovely lady 😘

[@spatch1000]

Centuries ago at age 16 took my first sewing lesson at a Singer sewing store. Teacher discouraged using Vogue patterns because there were too many pages to follow. Of course!!, I ignored that advice and picked a Vogue suit to sew (teenagers always know so much more!!). Yes there were a lot of directions and my "suit" definitely was not Saville Road tailoring, but it was a fantastic way to learn. Point being, the more directions and the more learning, the better I was at sewing. P.S. My friends were very kind when I wore it, but years later they fessed up to seeing the less than stellar job I did. They did trust me later and had me make them garments.

[@anessaharris9947]

🇨🇦😃 amazing!

[@louhoggard2822]

Where are you two? I miss seeing you two. Am enjoying watching your earlier videos but sure miss new ones.

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Such absolutely fabulous coats....what gorgeous colours!!! Are those a pair of green Flint trousers, lovely drape. I have used Pattern Easy Donatella trousers and jacket patterns for my daughter that are really well drafted and fit perfectly on her. She is tall and being able to choose patterns drafted for her height was excellent. I have 3 in a week for her with more planned. xxx

[@StitchSisters]

Yes they are the flints! Well spotted

[@gracewain5471]

Gorgeous coats ladies! I love Rachel's green trousers at the end, what pattern/fabric did you use please?

[@janspenno2241]

Great video. Interesting to hear about the details. At about 15.05 it looks like you insert Nikki’s photos over Rachel’s description? I’m tempted by a Vikki sews pattern definitely

[@StitchSisters]

The example coat made by Trend Patterns is fushia pink, the same colour as Rachel’s but it is the one made by Trend Patterns themselves. Apologies for any confusion.

[@janspenno2241]

@@StitchSisters ah yes that was confusing but the picture is the pattern one with the cuffs and Rachel doesn’t have them

[@saramarelli1986]

Hi - I am having a block with the Martina Coat with the lining. I do not have a clue how to finish. Can anyone help? :( Thank you

[@jancampen7770]

Would it be possible to lengthen Nikki's Trend coat sleeves or is the pattern piece so complicated that it's not possible? I have long arms and don't want elbow length sleeves!

[@StitchSisters]

You could simply lengthen the cuff, this would be a lot less complicated! If you wanted to lengthen the actual sleeve I would suggest contacting Trend patterns and asking their advice as there is no lengthen/shorten line on the pattern. They may be able to help

[@jancampen7770]

@@StitchSisters Thank you for your helpful info.. I suspected it wouldn't be straightforward to lengthen sleeves! Great coat tho . . .

[@allygallagher3111]

Beautiful dog,what breed is she?Love her name too!

[@StitchSisters]

She is a Red Fox Labrador 💖

[@squeezylemon1]

I’m confused….. the photos of pink coat aren’t the Viki Sews pattern, seems to be the Trend Patterns coat?

[@StitchSisters]

Yes I made a blue Trend pattern coat but the example on from Trend Patterns was the same colour as Rachel’s pink coat. Sorry for any confusion!

[@squeezylemon1]

@@StitchSisters I’m just stupid! I’m patiently waiting for the coat pattern to be restocked so I can make it asap!! Your version is fab in blue 🥰

Did I miss the link to the person who made your earrings? Love your channel and all that you do. Thank you!
