Absolutely gorgeous. I could make one of these (in my dreams) 😅. Thank you ☺️

[@amandawhisnant622]

Ma'am, you look absolutely amazing in that dress and coat!

[@DrkNSwt]

Very detailed, easy to follow along. I will rewatch as i try to make my own creation.

[@leylayumrukcal8540]

😊Cok ıyı anlattınız. Yakın cekım videoları cok ıyı olmus. Anladım. Tesekkur ediyorum. Emeklerine sağlık olsun. 🎉😊

Mimi G. This is my favorite pattern so far. Your designs are beautiful and stylish. I would like to ask you if you could please consider using dark thread on light fabrics or light thread on dark fabrics for demonstration purposes. That would make your explanations of each step much easier to see. I have watched a few tutorials and find that I have to keep rewinding to make sure I understand. I learn so much from your creativity and thank you very much for sharing.

I just have to thank you for these videos! I have NEVER sewn a lining (I'm scurred LOL) but watching you walk through it is a game changer for me. THANK YOU!!

[@yelisco]

The Fashionable Therapist I was thinking the same thing!!! I love watching these videos I followed her instruction on a long coat pattern but it’s unlined - I loved it so much that I’m going to attempt a lining! I watched this entire video to see how she does a lining. I want to make this one!

[@pattygardner231]

As always, you did a great job with a very complicated pattern. However, I would love a longer view of the finished product. You pointing out different things about the coat and the construction, and/or you modeling it. We don't get a long enough picture of the coat at the beginning of the tutorial. You might spend some time going over the fact you were doing a very notched color (not sure if that is the true term for that gorgeous color), but it's something that I would have liked more explanation on, some tips, things to be careful of while constructing it. In any case, I love your style of teaching and your amazing confidence. Thank you for all your great work.

[@Reportermel30]

exactly ! I was thinking the same thing! after all that, I wanted to see the finished coat with buttons, etc.!!!!

Me three was hoping to see her finish coat.

[@Angela-vl8yw]

Respectfully, I agree. I have been trying the tutorials on the Sew It Academy site, and I really need more overview, context, and exposure to an example of the finished piece at the beginning.

Beautiful coat made beautifully. I love this pattern and I like that you used a lighter fabric to make this coat. The way you showed us how to sew the sleeves to the lining is amazing I shall be doing that on my coat I am making which has taken me just under a year. Thank you for sharing this amazing tutorial sew along. XXX

[@Shop.AmericanVintage]

Very therapeutic to watch, makes want to be neater with sewing

[@joselynsmithgreene]

Love this video. I've been sewing for a loooong time and worked for a pattern company for many years. Never finished the lower edge of a sleeve without slip-stitching the lining. Thrilled to learn alternate construction methods.

[@sarahosmari7870]

Mimi G what a beautiful pattern and the way you demonstrated how to make this coat is just awesome thank you so much for sharing your video. All i have to say is that you are one great seamtress with full of knowledge bravo i look forward to seeing more of your videos. I need to purchase this pattern happy sewing Mimi G xx

[@Reportermel30]

love you Mimi. I will say I agree with Gypsum -- the sleeve had me a big confused BUT you're a great teacher! love watching your videos!

[@sandiepandieuk5066]

I've purchased the pattern and I am making this coat. Messed up the pocket area....so presently practicing using calico before recutting and sewing on main fabric. I love Mimi G tutorials. Also purchased pattern 8222

[@MissTopsieX]

I was totally following you the whole time, great job. The very last step at the sleeve still has my mind a bit boggled though. XD

[@flanmaryj]

Gypsum Same here. I was wondering why the sleeves weren't done before the jacket was pulled through. But, they turned out very nicely. Happy Sewing.

[@lorrainedash5736]

Think I will purchase pattern and sew along. Love it.

[@lynnnickerson7586]

You did an amazing job on this trench coat Mimi, thank you for the great tutorial!!!

[@zakittyslair]

you keep doing these tutorials, I'll keep buying your patterns x2 (1 for me, 1 for daughter).

[@theresevella8844]

Thankyou for this video. I would have liked to see the finished coat.

[@lavondacarter7228]

Hi Mimi, loved the lining material, would make a pretty dress !

[@FolukeMoyinoluwa]

WHY HAV'NT I SEEN THIS SINCE. I LOVE THIS LADY. NOW LET ME LEARN...

[@ladyhamilton5179]

Thank you for the video. Love the dress and coat. I can see my mother in this outfit. She did wear this, it was called a walking suite. I also had one. Still a good look in fashion. Have fun sewing, later.

[@janebrettell1737]

Brilliant video you make it look so easy and achievable I am definitely going to make this pattern thanks again 😍

[@equinox9598]

For what i could see, it looked beautiful! I wish you showed us the finished result in the end :) But nice educational video anyhow!

[@frenchpizza9725]

Gorgeous coat

[@lisegamache2743]

Great video Mimi! Your a very good instructor! I really enjoyed it!

[@marisafernandez5270]

You sew along vids are fantastic, wish the internet was around when I was younger, because when you got stuck you just gave up as muym didn't know how to hielp me or I would have to do a course just to do what I needed

[@HOODCLASSICTELEVISION]

Thank you Mimi

[@amandasmith2647]

Beautiful coat, but that was a lot of pieces. So I will have to watch this again but I learned how to attach the pocket, lining an collar.

[@GBoz94]

you are so ridiculously neat!!! I wish I could sew like you!

[@wuthipolJNate]

That's very useful and thank you for share this... ^^

[@boracedu6129]

Very nice

[@LizSews]

I just made this coat pattern (using your video) but I was a little disappointed to find that the collar looks very different from the envelope photo. Could you explain what changes you made to get that extreme notch and exaggerated lapel?

[@michelleaugustin7739]

I’m very I’m having a very hard time putting those two together. The under collar with the front and back. I don’t understand why

[@euliceridley8691]

You must of read my mind, I just didn't know how to upload it to you . I saw this coat on a little person web site and I said maybe Mimi took do this,I know she could do this. Thank you

[@GabelGreen]

Could sew the lining separately same as outer coat, then stitch on the lining.

[@0204mrdaniel]

Great video..

[@BlueMelissa]

Love this. Other than the fabric used in the video, Can a heavier more wintery fabric be used? What is suggested for a first time coat maker?

[@JessieJessieboBessie]

Wish this showed the finished coat both laying flat and being worn. There aren't many finished versions of this coat online so it'd be nice to get a long view of how the coat wears on a person.

[@amandasmith2647]

Could you complete the rest of the coat on another tutorial so I can see finished garment

[@michelleaugustin7739]

I’m having a very hard time attaching the under collar . If you could go over the part when you make the dart and attach it to the collar in would be helpful. The dots for the dart is part of the dot we use as a connecting point . Dark thread would be very helpful. I don’t think this will work with wool material. I’m so disappointed. I hope you can help

[@doaamahmoud1494]

Thank you your videos are so great but there is a few details in drawing the pattern especially in the coat I and other videos can you plz make more videos about patterns

[@UmiLestari]

.thx u

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Mimi, what sewing machine do you have? Thank you so much 😊 for sharing this with me, I find that watching you working through the whole thing, very helpful

[@tyffiesuniverse1598]

I am totally making a parka with this pattern

[@loveloreal]

I wish there was more time on the material towards the end for areas that would be difficult like the sleeves than time on cutting the pattern or reading the envelope. I do really like this though I'm super late

[@bertheliwuamadi3934]

I have tried searching for this pattern but cant find it😭

[@maxinehatcher7910]

I followed along okay but I wish she had used a fabric with a more visible right and wrong side. Also a solid color lining.

[@ramona9954]

Mimi what brand is your sewing machine ?

[@elizabeth184]

I definitely need more information about the facing part, after you've stitched the lining to the bottom of the coat - you don't show what this look like when the coat is turned out, and whether there's any extra finishing for this bit.

[@MsKJ2007]

Please provide a link to the coat fabric and interfacing you used.

[@MsKJ2007]

Please provide a link to the lining you used. Is it on your blog?

[@anon4518]

thanks

[@kathleenkeller5375]

thank you this

[@kathleenkeller5375]

I mean, thank you for this video

[@cutiedoggy475]

Anyone know of a online serging class?

[@vickiygonzales5566]

You mentioned academy.com. However I could not find it. Can you please provide the link?

[@elainemarielaswell4957]

Www.sewitacademy.com

[@maggiebaidoo2114]

Is it possible to Open the pattern to see the full length because you are teaching so don't hide any thing be kind.

[@fegoodson8334]

Fashion fabric that doesn’t really have a wrong side is hard to follow.. screwed the pockets up - thought mimi was working on wrong sides.

[@michelleaugustin7739]

Is it possible for you to make a attached video with only the under collar and the upper portions of the back and front? In other words, don’t use the entire length of the pattern. I don’t know why it is giving me such a hard time.

[@michelleaugustin7739]

OMG. Now I know what I did wrong! I couldn’t understand why I was having such a difficult time. I must have watched the video 10 times. I was fixated on making the dart first and then attaching the seams. After watching it 1 million times I finally realized that you sew the seam in line with also sewing the dart. Why do I feel like an idiot!? But I also feel really good because at least it is not a skill I can’t accomplish . I have no words.

[@achachach9484]

the pattern not free??

[@sandiepandieuk5066]

Has anyone experienced pattern 20 and 19 being different lengths?

[@yhnkha]

Hey Mimi, great work. I'm in kharkove ukraine and would like to purchase this pattern. How can I?

[@natashastallings3668]

[@melindaharkema-elhajji6050]

[@nakeishalofton7133]

Ok. Home Friday.November 10.2017

[@MrCharliesangel]

😍

[@maureengreen4008]

I thought this video was for the purple check coat and at two minutes from the end…it’s not but a beige coat😩

[@lorrainedash5736]

Lovely job but would love to see finished product with u wearing and a bit more time showing it. Excellent job otherwise.

[@galsilva2510]

Vc vende esses moldes?Como faça para adquirir ?

[@ayseayse2897]

👏👏👏👏👏🌹

[@jenniferboxill7915]

what kind of interfacing is she using?

[@maxinehatcher7910]

Jennifer Boxill That's what I want to know.

[@DrStephanieMillerWilliams]

It looks like she used a medium weight interfacing like Pellon 809 fusible & SF101 fusible lightweight interfacing for the dress~

[@aperry3874]

I think it was a woven not pellon

[@adeliachambers4031]

I am going to try a light weight fusible fleece interface (I found at Joann’s) for warmth. Then a light lining.
