I love the orange jacket and boot combo. It looks like you are all cosied-up with your boiled wool coat collection! Thanks for the round up. I love the look of the Florence coat as a potential for me☺️
Love the jacket fashions, they are all pretty great. Also love the songs of the magpies in the background, I miss that. Thank you for sharing your sewing.
Boiled wool is so perfect for transitional outerwear! Thanks for this, Kristen ... and for those gorgeous cherry blossoms. Must have taken you ages to sew them all on that tree. 🌺 🌸🌺 🌸🌺
@@thedahliasewciety I was just having a silly moment 😹😹😹 ... they were gorgeous. Your late winter is much more colorful than my late summer .... and I love it. 🌸🌸🌸
Nice quite comprehensive overview of patterns for boiled wool jackets. Looove your outfit. We’re in the middle of a heat wave here.So going to wait a bit before I start thinking about woolen jackets again 😉💕
Hi Kristen. Just to confirm , the green boiled wool is from Tessuti and you’ve linked it right? It’s $79 per meter. I’m interested in getting it but can’t find how wide it is so I know how much to order. Can you remember if it’s pretty wide? And also would you say it’s a warm green or cool.
That paprika jacket/coat looks lovely on you, so when you purchase boiled wool you don't have to pre shrink it?I don't normally wear anything that has wool content because like you I have a sensitivity to it. I think the thing that would prevent me from making one is the care if I did need to wash it. Thank you for sharing all the information as well.
No preshrinking needed, actually I never wash mine, dry cleaning is a preferred method if they get really dirty! I usually air dry them or spot clean if needed xx
I have a jacket (cropped) that I like the style of...can this be adapted to sew with boiled wool? As in don't put front facings, overlap the seam allowances, etc? Actually, do you trim away some of the seam allowance once you sew the seams?
You actually don't trim any excess away because you just sew a 1/4 inch overlap. Its very neat and the instructions are great! A cropped jacket would be awesome!
That orange one would look great with a tie around the waist too! Love the colour so much
Great idea!! Thanks so much xx
Oh those cherry blossoms are fantastic....look great with the orange wool xxx
They're gradually falling off! Not long now to keep admiring them xx
Love all your makes today. I was surprised to see cherry blossoms until where I remembered where you lived.
Yes! Nearly springtime here!
I love the orange jacket and boot combo.

Nice one - love that paprika colour on you. Stay safe and good luck with impending release from lockdown!
Thank you! Will do!
Good to hear about your favourite jackets 🙂 I'm hoping to have time to make some more jackets later in the year x
Can't wait! You would love these!
Great video I have a piece of boiled wool looking for a good pattern lots of options here.
Sounds great!
I got some to make the Tilly and the buttons duffle coat but I haven’t dared cut it out yet!
That looks like a perfect pattern too!
Love both of your coats!! I need to find somewhere is the US I can find some boiled wool that isn't too terribly expensive.
Maybe look on Mood? Not sure though as its pricey fabric!

I’m Sew Blessed yes that’s right! It’s the best quality wool! It’s 150cm wide and it’s a true bottle green, not teal. It’s absolutely lovely xx
The Dahlia Sew-ciety ok great. Thank you.

I really like your dark pumpkin wool. They’re all very nice. Do you have a favorite of your 3 Tessuti patterns?
I really cant decide, I love them all!!!
