The fact that she makes easy patterns and then the tutorials step by step. Holy crap I feel so lucky. I can't wait to do my 1st Friday Pattern. I am doing a blouse.
Thankyou so much for doing this sew along!!! I'm super nervous about getting the correct interfacing. do you have a supplier or brand you like, and what weight should I get? Thank you! :)
I'm trying to decide weather or not to make my own blazer and trousers for grad next year and this made the process look a lot less scary than I originally imagined! Thank you
Love this! Totally inspired now to buy the pattern and make it. I thought it looked out of my league before as I tried a Burda blazer that I gave up on midway but this tutorial explains making it so well.
Both these fabrics are gorgeous! They seem to be made for each other. I have a couple of other projects lined up, but this will be a spring project for sure! Thanks for the video :)
Thank you for this tutorial sew along, I really like your tutorials they are so easy to understand and with clear instructions. As I have only recently come across your channel. Hope you continue to bring more tutorials to the channel. 😊✂️🧵😊💕
Thanks so much. I have the fabric and the pattern but just need it to cool up a bit before I start. I live in Queensland Australia and we are in the midst of summer. Bring on Autumn.
Watching this video just as I’m about to start attaching the lining to the main fabric by joining the collars.. don’t think I could have worked it out without watching your sew along so thanks you for doing this ! Just one plea... in future videos... could you possibly slow the film down a bit just at key points. I have found it a bit tricky to catch what your doing eg. where you’re attaching that square of fabric to hold the lining in place under the arms. Looking forward to finishing and wearing my Heather 😊
@@aminuhameedah.7961 do you mean how did I cut the squares of fabric for holding the lining in place ?? I eyeballed it I guess 🤷🏻♀️ I can’t remember now if there are instructions as to size and shape

Hi, just bought this pattern and was wondering if the interfacing is very necessary? I dont have any interfacing fabric or something that can be glued on with heat. Is there a substitue, or can I leavev the step out?
Hello, the interfacing is going to add body and shape to your blazer. Without it you will have a more unstructured shape which isn't necessarily bad! It also depends on your fabric - if you are working with a sturdier fabric it doesn't matter as much. You will want to interface the area where you sew your button/buttonhole. If you don't have fusible interfacing you can sew some in. I suggest googling sew in interfacing or email us and we can send you some tutorial links. hello@fridaypatterncompany.com
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I don’t have the pattern (yet!) but I’ve tried blazers a few times before and the collar notches always confused me with other instructions. I’ve donated more than I care to admit when I couldn’t make it make sense. Now I think I can go back and make a few more (and it’s a great excuse to buy new fabric!).
Not gonna lie ... that sleeve situation is scaring me a little 😯🤣 this will be my first ever tailored piece, and I am a little nervous. But this video really helps a lot 🤗
Love the jacket! Question for you - is there a reason why you prefer to use clips instead of pins? They seem clunky to me.( is that a word?) I’ve used them in quilting but not in dressmaking.
Looks like a nice blazer pattern. I’m searching for one to make for our autumn season now in NZ. This sew along will be very helpful should I choose this pattern. I’ve never made a blazer or any kind of jacket, let alone a lined one. A bit intimidating. I love watching your videos whether I have the pattern or not. 😌
So this was confusing. You showed sewing the outside layer, started on the collar, then next frame the lining is already stitched together with the outside. ??
Just made a denim blue linen atelier brunette heather blazer from this video, didn't look at the written instructions once! Thank you Chelsea, it felt like you were in my sewing room holding my hand the whole way through!!!
Following this amazing tutorial got me so excited to try more Friday Pattern Company makes! Thanks for the detailed video and helpful camera POV to make this first "serious" project of mine so simple.
Thank you!!! Very easy to follow... but is there a previous video... the dimensions and d the cutting isn’t here... and one kinda needs that to cut out the fabric
Hello! Cutting out the pattern isn't covered in the video sew along. There are diagrams and instructions included in the pattern! If a video talking about how to cut out a sewing pattern is something you would like to see I will keep that in mind for the future!
Hi! I've been looking everywhere but I can't find a specific recommendation for choosing both the woven and knit interfacings for linen- what is a good weight to go with?
I’m making this at the moment and went with G700 for the cotton woven and vlieseline 609 for the knit interfacing. I followed the Vlieseline website instructions for both as hadn’t used either of these interlining before and ironing them on took ages so allow plenty of time plus the iron on interfacing instruction is easy to miss in the paper instructions.
You could finish them but it isn't super necessary as the raw edges are stitched down inside the pocket. If you were using something with a loose weave that unravels a lot you would want to finish them!
Love it! Why does the back pattern piece not have interfacing along its entire length? When and how to make understitching? To be a more lasting look after washing... Before joining at the hem?
This pattern is designed to be unstructured so there is just some body added around the shoulders on the back and not the body. If you wanted to add interfacing all the way down you totally could. I don't quite understand your question about understitching. You want to add it to the hem? Because of the way the hem is turned you don't need understitching to prevent the lining from popping out. If you are talking about topstitching/tacking the hem in place that is covered in the instructions and is done in the last step! You can also email questions to hello@fridaypatterncompany.com
Super cute. I just asked for this beautiful linen for my birthday along with this pattern. What did you use for the lining? I love how yummy that green looks with the beautiful linen and poppies ✨
I only wear knee lenght or middi dress. Love the process of this but i am not sure if its for me. I dont know how to style them on dress. I always see blazer styled with jeans
Would it be ok to cut woven interfacing on the bias to replace the knit interfacing? Or, do you know of a source for knit cotton interfacing? I like to sew with only natural fibers, and am having trouble sourcing cotton knit interfacing :( Thanks!!!
@@FridayPatternCompany Thank you!! Did your measurements fit exactly with what you have in the Instructions for the size you made? I made up a quick basic toile and it seems big, so I'm wondering if I should size down, or if it will be 'just right' once I make it in the final fabrics... :)
@@FridayPatternCompany Thank you!! I decided to stick with what I sized into, with a lot of small adjustments to improve fit. One more question - after I set in the sleeves, how should I press those seams? Can't find it in the instructions or video, wondering if I just don't press that seam? :) Thanks!
You don’t make a sew a long with a mistake, pop in after it’s made and watched, and then describe how easy it is to fix by pretending it was a different way. 😢
The fact that she makes easy patterns and then the tutorials step by step. Holy crap I feel so lucky. I can't wait to do my 1st Friday Pattern. I am doing a blouse.
I LOVE THE EASY AND SIMPLE WAY YOU TEACH/SPEAK I CAN ACTUALLY FOLLOW ALONG WITHOUT GETTING FRUSTRATED LOST OR CONFUSED THA’LL MAKE ME WANNA GIVE UP
Thankyou so much for doing this sew along!!! I'm super nervous about getting the correct interfacing. do you have a supplier or brand you like, and what weight should I get? Thank you! :)
I'm trying to decide weather or not to make my own blazer and trousers for grad next year and this made the process look a lot less scary than I originally imagined! Thank you
Chelsea, please please make a fitted blazer pattern and sew along 😍 btw, love your instructions and Heather Blazer pattern! Making my 2nd now 😀
I was making it in so different and difficult way 😅 you make it look so easy to me thank you for this video 🥰🥰🥰
Love this! Totally inspired now to buy the pattern and make it. I thought it looked out of my league before as I tried a Burda blazer that I gave up on midway but this tutorial explains making it so well.
I am using the Burda blazer as well.. I couldn't understand what's going on neither. Her tutorial is so good.
Both these fabrics are gorgeous! They seem to be made for each other. I have a couple of other projects lined up, but this will be a spring project for sure! Thanks for the video :)
Lovely video, very helpful. That give me confidence to sew this beautiful piece.
Just wondering where you got your poppy fabric from?
Hi just wondering how much interfacing you need?
Thank you for this tutorial sew along, I really like your tutorials they are so easy to understand and with clear instructions. As I have only recently come across your channel. Hope you continue to bring more tutorials to the channel. 😊✂️🧵😊💕
I wish if you mentioned how you cut your fabric and the length of each piece
I done took this blazer apart and confused how to sew it back.
Thanks so much. I have the fabric and the pattern but just need it to cool up a bit before I start. I live in Queensland Australia and we are in the midst of summer. Bring on Autumn.
Thanks for doing this Chelsea! Really enjoyed it. Great job ....Thankyou. Jan

How did you manage to cut it? It’s not in the video

Finally I found the right tutorial. Tysm ❤️
This video is so helpful (and so beautifully done!). Would you ever share your lighting/filming setup? Just got my Heather pattern today :)

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I don’t have the pattern (yet!) but I’ve tried blazers a few times before and the collar notches always confused me with other instructions.

I put half the pattern together now in tired.
Thank you so much. God bless you 🙏🏾
Not gonna lie ... that sleeve situation is scaring me a little 😯🤣 this will be my first ever tailored piece, and I am a little nervous. But this video really helps a lot 🤗
You got this!
Excellent work ❤😊
Thank you for making a video instruction for the pattern. I love Friday pattern company. Is the Ilford Jacket made in a similar way?
We will be doing an Ilford sew along soon!
Thank you so much, this will for sure help me when making the Heather blazer! Can't wait for the pattern to arrive.
In the video when joining the bottom hems you mention a video on creating the corners where is this please.
Here it is: th-cam.com/video/PyhNXyvhBs4/w-d-xo.html
Love the jacket! Question for you - is there a reason why you prefer to use clips instead of pins? They seem clunky to me.( is that a word?) I’ve used them in quilting but not in dressmaking.
I came here lets rry for winter
OMG THANK YOU! I could never finish a closing the lining on the jacket

I’ve never made a blazer or any kind of jacket, let alone a lined one. A bit intimidating. I love watching your videos whether I have the pattern or not. 😌
Thanks so much for this Video. I don't think I would have even attempted a this Blazer. I made it out of Linen and it turned out beautifully.
❤
So this was confusing. You showed sewing the outside layer, started on the collar, then next frame the lining is already stitched together with the outside. ??
Do you think it would be possible to make it shorter?
Yes! There are lengthen/shorten lines on the pattern pieces and guidance on how to do it in the instructions.
We the pattern
I like this video very much! I sometimes watch it to motivate myself for sewing.
Hi! Can you do a sew along of the Cambria Duster as well!
Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Just made a denim blue linen atelier brunette heather blazer from this video, didn't look at the written instructions once! Thank you Chelsea, it felt like you were in my sewing room holding my hand the whole way through!!!
I kept searching for blazer tutorials everywhere, and I am so happy to come across this 💜
Ive just bought pattern wasnt to sure if i can attempt it but seeing your video has give me the confidence to make one, thanks x
Following this amazing tutorial got me so excited to try more Friday Pattern Company makes! Thanks for the detailed video and helpful camera POV to make this first "serious" project of mine so simple.
I just crossed paths with your channel. You gained a new sub!:) You make sewing a lining seem like a piece a cake. I finally understand it. Tysm!
Why did you interface the entire front of the blazer?
I purchased the pdf pattern, I'm excited to get going
At last instructions for the lining thank touxxx
Bravo!!! love this video. Thank you
Another great tutorial... I want to make all of your patterns now 😋👌💝😁😘

You could finish them but it isn't super necessary as the raw edges are stitched down inside the pocket. If you were using something with a loose weave that unravels a lot you would want to finish them!
That was fantastic. Thank you so much.
great easy to follow video
Great video beautiful fabric too xx
Great video, gives me inspiration, have seen for years but always avoid collars, will definitely give it another go , thank you
Aloha Chelsea! I love the videos thank you so much sis it possible to make the blazer with no lining? Thank you!
I think it is possible! I will add it to my list of ideas for future tutorial videos!
Did I miss the part where you put the sleeve lining to the body????!!!
Yes. Yes I did. UGH.
Omg that hot sauce pressing cloth you use is so cute! This is a great tutorial, thank you!
Trying to find the video on corners that you mention. Can you send a link? Thanks!
Here is a link to the corner vid! th-cam.com/video/PyhNXyvhBs4/w-d-xo.html
Super helpful! Thanks for doing this
Tooop
Fantastic video-you make the process look like anyone can give it a go. Very inspiring. Also, love your earrings! Where did you get them?
They are from a friend of mine who makes beaded jewelry www.brianabol.com/
Ty my amazing Chelsea xo Florence
Those fabrics😍
Really great tutorial!
If we are using thicker fabric such as corduroy do we need to interface all pieces
You don't have to! It will have a slightly less structured fit but I think it will still look great!
Would it be OK not to line the jacket? I'm in the middle east and the heat and humidity here is unbearable.
Hello! Yes, it is doable! I think you would need to create a facing for the back neckline since there isn't one there.
Grat sewing!
Great video 🤗 thanks for some useful tips 🥰
Really satisfied I begin to love u thanks for the tutorial Big help for me
1 year ago tutorial hopefully iwill make my own jacket 🧥
Thanks 🙏 thanks 🙏 somuch
Thank you for showing this it was a dream to watch can't wait to give it a try
Hi! What skirt is paired with the blazer on your website? Dying to make the whole set! Thank you!
Hello! It is a skirt I hacked from the Untitled Thoughts Chandler Pants
Oooo! Ok! Thank you for your reply!!!

@@FridayPatternCompany thank you!
I only wear knee lenght or middi dress. Love the process of this but i am not sure if its for me. I dont know how to style them on dress. I always see blazer styled with jeans
Stay tuned for a styling video launching tomorrow where we style it over a Wilder Gown!
@@FridayPatternCompany i cant wait for it❤️
Brillant!!!!
I am so going to try this out!
Love love love !!!!
What is the source for the poppy fabric? I love it!
You can google "poppy linen fabric" and some options come up. stonemountainfabric.com gets it in stock sometimes but it always sells out quickly!
Thanks. Lots of nice tips. 💜
