You're the best!!! When I look for simplicity patterns, I search thru yours, then head to KZbin to see if there's a tutorial! You've helped me so much. I have been subscribed to your Sewing Academy for a few years. Thank you for what you do. ❤

[@ItsmeLauraV]

I can't even begin to explain how gratefull I am to you for posting this... I'd been trying to figure out the collar part for 6 hours yesterday following the pattern I had but it wasn't making any sense to me and led to me crying in frustration and then I found this... My jacket doesn't look anywhere near as good as yours or the picture on the pattern but it's done now and I can move on... Thank you!

[@jampubs1]

Great tutorial, Mimi. You ticked all the boxes. Thank you.

[@Pureimagination200]

I could of never figured this out if I didn’t have this video as I’m a beginner. Thank you Mimi G and Simplicity

[@dolcepeter]

That was straight up magic thank you. No way I could’ve sound this pattern without this video

[@chevas1youtubization]

I'm following this tutorial right now. I've put my seam ripper to good use.🙃

[@mychereeharris2023]

😂 facts

[@scalare70]

Excellent tutorial - especially about lining the jacket. Lining has been my headache.... This video made it seem soo easy :)

[@ronyastreckfuss2394]

Wonderful tutorial, as usual from Mimi G!

[@chevas1youtubization]

I'm adding the lining right now. I've wept a few times trying to get it right, but it's worth it!

[@bettinajevtitch3474]

Thank you so much! You are so generous with your tutorials! Thanks again!!

[@Saucyakld]

O goodness girl, that takes me back years and years, made the same jacket and similar material for my 20th birthday, I am now 72. Hahaha, how the wheel turns! Xx

[@THEQUEEN-kg6pe]

thank you so much for this tutorial I had to do this coat for my class and if it wasnt for this tutorial I would of been lost thank you again I will make the pants to match my coat

[@vegknitter]

Wow! I have never sewn a jacket but this is a great guide and you are such an expert sexist. Thank you x

[@sewvintagebysunraedoll]

Amazing Tutorial Mimi, know you work so Hard on these, and we get for Free! Thanks for blessing us with your knowledge. I have wanted a suit for a few years now, but have been scared to make Welt pockets. I plan to Buy your pattern soon & give it a Try/will also give me a reason to use my blind Hem presser foot (which does not get used often)🤣 Hugs & God Bless🤗

[@suecox789]

Thanks for the tutorial nice clear instructions 😍

[@dianer8881]

Plaids and clinging pants may widen your figure. Love the elongating jacket.

[@IfixAirCraft2]

Wish you would show the finished garment on a model when you complete them. Great videos.

[@annetteg7030]

@IfixAorCraft2 definitely, perhaps the finished product does not look so good when being worn. Sadly!;-( The same thing goes for some foods that you see being prepared. I've learned that some advertisers tend to use non edible items to advertise their products. Example of places that do just that are Burger King, McDonald's KFC, Popeyes, pizza shops etc. Sadly!;-(😥😢😪😭. Nevertheless folks are tricked into thinking that the foods are looking good as displayed. Sadly!;-(😥

[@1tribble]

... you cleared up a lot of questions I had on pockets, linings and collars... could not get it from the pattern drawings (actually in most pattern drawings I can’t even tell what part of the garments they are talking about from the picture they have 😳).... I totally get what’s happening now, thanks to your super clear instructions!

[@kimberlycooper4170]

Thank you for the tutorial! I would like to sew a suit for myself after I get out of the beginner stage and become experienced enough at sewing clothes. After that, I will get experience by sewing a suit for a small child. (I can donate it to a charity's thrift shop so that they can earn money from my learning to sew.). Then, I'll be able to sew s suit for myself out if the expensive quality cloth.

[@charlenejutras1595]

Great sew along! You make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing.

[@ruwangajayasekara4021]

Hey Cute girl you are Beautiful and Awesome 👌 I give 100 percent to your tutorial and I done my jacket and it looks great 👍 Keep up the good work 👏

[@Dishcreator84]

That pocket is made so kool.

[@yolandapinkney-jordan385]

Love it!!! Keep them coming. Thank you!!!

[@JenniferAnidu]

Thank you so much God bless you. I needed this video

[@jaanuloveu451]

Ohh..you solved my problem... Sleeve attachment. Thnk you

[@barbaraharsch3048]

No buttons on the coat? Liked the fabric you used but would like to use wool for a dress up coat for special occasions.

[@lypstiqxoxomichelledonald1617]

Thanks for this video it was very helpful. 😊

[@mariadorame6416]

Nice jacket.

[@moniquemartel1]

Wow J'ai vraiment envie de l'essayer Merci!!!!!

[@barbaraness4507]

Very good instructions. I’m an experienced seamstress, and I’ve made similar projects but it’s been a while. I am making this for my teen granddaughter, and the other garment I made was a coat. I’m hoping that the jacket turns out as nice as the coat did.

[@irmadiaz5477]

Me encanto , que bonito cose.

[@raqueljoseph3201]

It would be nice to see the linger jacket as it has a kick back opening that I would love to see how we do it with the lining....

[@yalemtsehaykebede8178]

Thank You My GOD Bless You!ly

[@terrylove9709]

Hi MiMi. Love all your videos and I even have some of your patterns. My question to you is if I needed to increase my pattern to my size do I have grade all the pattern pieces to my size? Terry Love

[@pjlederer5139]

I wish I had watched this first.

[@evelynreyes367]

Hi Mimi, do you make a practice garment before doing this jacket for perfect fitting?

[@gulsenevcimen3655]

Muhteşem thank you👍

[@angelinastone8122]

Can I do this in light to medium weight denim?

[@heliakazemi_design]

I wish i could buy this from my country

[@margaretpitts5462]

Do you recommend block interfacing if using wool blend Mimi?

[@goddessd9444]

Dope!...now what if I wanted to add a button or zipper if I wanted a closed jacket?... Do I just add it to the facings

[@georgettesledge6079]

You are the it girl, I love this tutorial oh he'll I love all of them. I was a little intimidated at first, glade I decided to watch a little more I'M SO HAPPY I STARTED WATCHING MORE OF YOU, YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER

[@Yvonnegoroye1]

Please what type of fabric are you using?

[@yankeechef3979]

Does anyone know what machine she is using?

[@angelinastone8122]

Would this work with a medium to light denim?

[@s3xiibiishliyah]

Yes

[@ameliabaldwin4549]

The pockets insertion is different to the pattern instructions.... very confusing

[@esco3670]

What do we do for the lining near the vent? Did I miss that part?

[@jenniferboxill7915]

What is the name of the interfacing that she is using?

[@emilylangell2289]

was 11 not mentioned?

[@papayapapayapapaya]

Mine turned out so bad.

[@romonalewis177]

Love it🔥🔥

[@Mwishstore]

But from where can we get pattern

[@annetteg7030]

@Raheela Mughal, Buy them at the FABRIC store. Or draft them yourself. Drafting is fun and VERY easy too!;-)

[@mikelamarguerite3170]

Or you can buy Burda magazine from a stationery

[@nargismafvh]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@joannemcmillan9201]

Totally off topic: What's with the earring thing?

[@carolehack226]

This is a very comprehensive video, but the speed of it is much too fast. A jacket is a big undertaking for a home sewer, and the technicalities need to be explained in a little more depth, and slower, so one can keep up with it. It would be useful to know with techniques related only to jackets or outerwear, why Mimi is doing some of the steps, ie the object of them. Presumably this video is being used as a marketing tool for the pattern, however coverage of the making of it in this case, has failed as far as I am concerned. It has made it look possibly more complicated than it actually is. Mimi is a fantastic seamstress, so please let us see a bit more of her wonderful skills.

[@yankeechef3979]

My advice to you is try doing more blouses and maybe a light jacket with no lining first if this looks too intimidating to you. Once you get more experience it will be a piece of cake.

[@demondpalmer4702]

airmoe want to ask you the sew company if yall can sew me an new suit coat out the rags materials that I'm gonna provide to you?

[@magdaszpos]

I don’t want to be picky but could please try not to use ...” go ahead ...” so repeatably it’s a bit annoying and easy to be replaced.... Other than that I love what’s you doing. Great job. X

[@elizabethvelez3942]

MimiG Love your tutorials, I like the way you explain everything so specifically. Great job!!
