you can do it! if i were your wife, i would want pockets on both sides and maybe a belt too. just saying. ;) and luckily i'm definitely not your wife ;)
Sweater weather is upon us... I’m sure you’ll do great! If my love made this for me. I’d probably never take it off. Lol 😂 just don’t think too hard about it. Jump in, let love and the inspiration be your guide. That fabric is very forgiving as long as you don’t stretch it while sewing. Using clear thread also helps hide the stitching. If you still don’t feel confident about your stitch work. Best of wishes to you, and your wife.💜
Let's just do the maths on this, shall we: Extra fluffy coat + Mom seeing it and loving it + sped-up hug + dancing with an excited dog = *CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!* I once bought my mom a coat for Mothers' Day, and she was so proud of it. Now I'm inspired to actually _make_ one for her. Goals and pressure!
"If it doesn't match up perfectly, that's okay. I just end up trimming anything that is sticking out later, and make it work." Love it. Exactly my experience, working with fleece. Also love how you just hack away with full confidence, and it comes out perfect. I wanna be able to do that.
@@rachelnation2021 I was a manager there for several years...I like it much better now, although I sure do miss that discount!!! It's a lot easier not to buy all the remnants, now, though!!!🤪🤪🤪
Why did I start crying while watching this video? Thinking about how sweet you are and how much you and your mom must live each other, thinking about my mom, thinking about Christmas, and the music. Thank you for this video April.
Just what I need, an easy pattern for a warm housecoat. I have an a little used bed quilt which is 15 years old and want to repurpose it as a housecoat. Your tutorial is ideal and I will only have to cut one layer. 😊
I love this fleece coat for your Mom. So comfy and cozy, a coat of my dreams!!!! Seriously, who needs one of those wearable blankets when you can make something like this that is stylish and can be worn at home or anywhere you want to go!!!! April, great design and great work. Thanks for sharing. Take care and God Bless.
Made this. It looks amazing. I was really scared because fabric was so expensive, but it turned out great. I did try cutting the hood on scrap fabric since that was the most difficult for me to duplicate. Good thing since I had to try couple of times. I did line my pockets with cotton piece and added cotton piece to the backside of fleece to make pockets stronger. Really debated seam tape too, but didn’t. I am new to surging so it was a grand experiment.
This looks so comfy and I would love to have one for cold days but where I live I can imagine I would come to loathe it because it would make me miserably hot. It just simply doesn’t get cold enough here to wear it without having a heat stroke. Winter hardly exists here so it would probably never get worn. If I ever move somewhere cold, I will absolutely make one because it just looks so amazing
You’re so lucky to have a mom that loves, and will wear what you make her! My mom is rather picky so although she likes what I make she may not like it on her. Lol She has been wearing a skirt I made her a lot which makes me very happy.
Love the coat... Your mom is so cute she looked very happy with her new coat you made. I bet she treasure the coat always because you made it for her its such a sweet and beautiful gift...
I love this project!! To make this truly reversible I would have put solid pockets on the plaid as well. And if I had enough material left I’d totally make a couple belt loops inside and out and a plaid belt if not a belt of both fabrics 🤷♀️
This is cute and I love the thought of giving handmade items to people and the fact that you made a warm coat for your mom is beautiful and the smile on her face made me smile so thank you for this beautiful video and I hope your hard work pays off. Merry Christmas and hope you have a bright new year.
hey! That's what I thought of doing ! I have 2 fleece blankets throws) I purchased from a store there just thin fleece I thought I could re-use some quilted fabric to put in-between the layers make it a real winter coat! I'm in Canada so it won't be too hot!
I really want to get a fleece coat this winter. But I am doing my BUY LESS project. So I will have to sew a fleece coat. I haven't made a coat. I will try. thanks~
I love the really simple coat design! It looks like it would be 'easy' to make. I think the ONLY think I would add... is a way to close it! Maybe a heavy duty zipper? Or possibly those corded loop closers? Anyway... nice Christmas gift!!!
Oh! So you're not a good seamstress, but you're a good kind daughter too. Really brilliant. Edit: I knew itttt.. your mummy is slim.. and the puppy is sooo lovely. Stay happy.
April I love the coat! If you had the time it would've been cool to see how to do a reversible zipper! I also think it would be cool to have a plaid belt for it and possibly plaid cuffs! :D
My wife would love this. I'm still working on my skills to accomplish this.
You can do it! just break it down into steps and if its tough then walk away and come back when you are ready.
you can do it! if i were your wife, i would want pockets on both sides and maybe a belt too. just saying. ;) and luckily i'm definitely not your wife ;)

The fluffiness of this coat speaks to me and I wish to become one with the fluff 😂💜✨
YAAASSS
Floof!
th-cam.com/video/Kv8X8j5B6z4/w-d-xo.html💖
Looks like I’m gonna need to buy some fleece
Right...👍. This looks so warm.
Use some scraps and make a belt to cinch it closed

If only for warmth, its so fluffy theres no real point to sinch it in for aestetics.
It's like you made her a hug! 💓💓💓

Just spent an hour and a half in Joann's🤪🤪🤪...now I've got to go back and get some fleece!!! LOVE this idea!!! Thanks, April!!!
Lol I know the feeling! You're very welcome! :D
I could easily spend an entire day in joann's 😂

That picture of you and your mom - how sweet! As a mom I love handmade things from my adult daughters. What a great gift you’ve given her! 💕
I revisit this video when I want to make a coat. I love these types of coats!! So warm and snuggly without a crap ton of pieces to sew!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
This is the best! LOVE IT. Who doesnt love a big snuggly coat!!??
So practical, pretty and not to difficult to make!
Your mom is adorable and I think the doggie wants a coat, too!
Why did I start crying while watching this video? Thinking about how sweet you are and how much you and your mom must live each other, thinking about my mom, thinking about Christmas, and the music. Thank you for this video April.
That was one of the biggest happiest smiles I’ve ever seen ‼️. What a beautiful and cozy coat‼️. Dood work and Merry Christmas ‼️

Would be really cute with some wooden toggles on the front to hold it closed! Great job as always!
Nice to see you with your mother. Wishing both of you well always.
Lol. "Wubby" fleece has the cutest name! 😂
I love how fluffy this coat is, though! 😍
I love the way u made the coat. Causal but with love. Thanks for sharing the video.

Just in time! I want to make a warm housecoat for my toddler. This pattern is perfect!
Thank you so much. I used 2 sherpa lined blankets and made 2 comfy style pull overs! Great video! Really neat your mom was so excited!
Your mom is so cute and so appreciative!

Love love love love love there's only one mama in our lives
Lol, turns out I'm going to rewatch and reshare this each year! Still reminds me of a hug!

Very cute and simple the way you show it.
I love this coat I'm going to have to try to make it see how I do.
Oh my goodness April, this is so genius!!!
Its always hard to find a coat for me so this is making me want to just make it myself 😂
THANK YOU!💜💜💜💜
WolfieTaurus it’s so worth it to make your own! 😊
Wow wow wow!! I love it! I have a very simple fleece coat, no hood, I can see myself buying some fleece and making it reversible. Can't wait !
Coats nice, but your sweater and the color, which is one of my favorite, is really nice.
Wow! Beautiful coat! Beautiful Mom! You look a lot like her! Blessings all!!!!! 🎀🎀
Another fabulous make! Your Mom is so pretty, you should have her model more of your makes!
What a great idea! Your mom looks adorable. I love it!
Your mommy is awesome and the coat is beyond outer space!!! Marry Christmas, April, and may Santa bring you another couple millions of subscribers 🤘😎
One of the best coats I've seen made yet. Great work 👍🏻
This is cute and I love the thought of giving handmade items to people and the fact that you made a warm coat for your mom is beautiful and the smile on her face made me smile so thank you for this beautiful video and I hope your hard work pays off.
Merry Christmas and hope you have a bright new year.
All those thick layers!! You did so wonderful and your mom looks so happy
Thank you so much!
This is the Ultimate in FLOOF!
Looks so comfy.
That is an amazing coat, was thinking that it was really thick & wondered how it was going to go through the machine. You made it look so easy.
Very cute. I think it needs a belt or button to keep it closed. But I love how fluffy it is.
So cute and soft! And I see her puppy dog also approves!
So Beautiful you did a great job. I wish I knew how to saw I would make my self one and for my mom
Holy moly this is so easy. I’m gonna make a bunch for xmas
This is an amazing gift! Even the dog loves it
Finally I see a reversible cloth, waited for quite a long while, thank you!
Omg this was a GREAT tutorial!! Seriously, the best one ever (maybe it’s because I love big fluffy teddy coats lol). Ah-mazing job!!
You make sewing look so easy, when it’s not. Love the coat! Thank you for sharing!
I really love what you did with that coat thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you April for your projects and you've inspired me to pick up sewing this year you're like my little Muse 💕💕
Wow April you're amazing 👏👏👏
I just don't understand how this thick fabric goes under your presser foot?!
That coat is so beautiful. I might have to make me one.

Oh this is so lovely, can’t wait to do it. I’m really going to be warm this winter 💃
Очень понравилось! Молодец, золотые руки!
I love the coat. You have inspired me to get some fleece and try making one for myself. Thanks for sharing this.
Fabulous coats two in one coat… I love it’s💖💖💖💖💖
Why did this make me cry at the end🤣😭😭😭♥️🥰 oooww... the pupper and mamas reaction was priceless. Made my heart warm.
Omg! Your mom is too cute with the happy dance in her coat! Great job!
Reversible? Say no more 😤🧡✨

✨The genuine love you have for each other is radiating all the way here, warming my heart. :')✨
Wow I’m absolutely in love! Great idea!!!!
I'm new to the DIY thing, but I love it! I can't sew & don't own a sewing machine, but I wish I did. I would make that coat! Fabulous!!
Love the coat, looks so warm.
I have to make this coat, will be wonderful for the winter in the U.K.
Thanks for sharing this.
I really want to get a fleece coat this winter. But I am doing my BUY LESS project. So I will have to sew a fleece coat. I haven't made a coat. I will try. thanks~
You can do it! i also had a buy less 'challenge' this year. and i want to continue it. frugal people are wealthiest ;)
Wonderful! We must learn to make everything alone...to stop to buy from big company's.
Beautiful, Thank you for sharing. Must try this!!!
this is the cutest awe! your mom is adorable!!
Just what I'm looking for thank you
I love the really simple coat design! It looks like it would be 'easy' to make. I think the ONLY think I would add... is a way to close it! Maybe a heavy duty zipper? Or possibly those corded loop closers? Anyway... nice Christmas gift!!!
I need one and found a cute one but its over $100 so looking to make one myself. Im going to use fuffy fleece throws as my fabric as it costs less
Lovely coat April and your mums reaction was so heartwarming 😁
Oh! So you're not a good seamstress, but you're a good kind daughter too. Really brilliant.
Edit:
I knew itttt.. your mummy is slim.. and the puppy is sooo lovely. Stay happy.
i love it. ive been wanting to make myself something fluffy besides hats and scarves (SNORE). sometimes there are good sales on the fluff stuff
*sees video length*
April: it only took me 10 to 12...
Me: minutes?
April: hours. 😁
Me: 😅😫
You're such a genius
April I love the coat! If you had the time it would've been cool to see how to do a reversible zipper! I also think it would be cool to have a plaid belt for it and possibly plaid cuffs! :D
Id like this as a robe!
I LOVE fashion and I want to make clothing like youuu, I’m so glad u still upload
Wow I just thought about this idea the other day for a gift too an here you are laying it all out for me! 😩🥰 thank you
Well time to bust out the sewing machine and buy some fabric.
I love the coat and the doggy!

Fuzzy AND reversible??? Yes please! This will take be 10x as long tho 😅 but perfect for the weather! I'm so excited 😆
