You made a fabulous coat Cath. Your joy in your work and your achievement really shines through. You are an incredible resource and inspiration. Thank you x
I think this is your best video yet. Congrats on a very useful and stylish make. Excellent tips for working with heavier/warmer coating fabrics. When I am ready to tackle a coat I will need this info as I live in Canada. Thanks for all the useful tips.
wow!!! i love those button holes, which i didnt even know existed!! i am leaarning so much from watching your channel, thank you so much. i love that you take care over everything you make and it really shows in the finished garment
Thank you so much for this vlog Cath. You’ve covered it all very thoroughly and I’m itching to make one now! I really liked how you added interlining to the coat to make it warmer. I have always avoided making coats as I always suffer with the cold and there never seems to be any coat patterns with the interlining inside them. The finished coat looks stunning on you 😍. Thanks again x
Thanks so much Liz, I'm so glad you found the vlog helpful. I really wanted to make sure the coat was cosy as I knew I wouldn't reach for it otherwise, so I'm glad the interlining has worked out well. Thanks for watching xx
Well done Cath. Your coat is beautiful. Just shows how all the preparation work you did was worth it. It doesn't pay to cut corners. A coat always seems daunting but by doing a toille first your fit was perfect.
Thank you very much Gwyneth. Yes I’m really pleased I took my time over this one as I really wanted to be able to wear this coat for a long time to come.
Great coat! It looks so lovely and definitely a classic. And fabulous review. Thanks for taking us through the process, especially regarding the swatches. I'm not sure I would've thought to do that! I see great value in that step now and should online fabric shopping continue to be necessary by the time I go to make my first coat (hopefully not!!), I will definitely be ordering samples. And I totally agree with you're decision to toile the entire coat in order to solidify the steps in your mind before making the final product. Very smart. Well done!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found the review useful, I found the difference in the fabric swatches really interesting so it was nice to be able to share that on here. Thank you for watching.
Cath, your Oslo Coat is beautiful, your meticulous insight to detail really makes to you an excellent seamstress and your choice of the fabric looks wonderful on you and is your color. I love watching your videos and can't wait to se what you are sewing next. Keep up the excellent work. To achieve a good bound button hole is a great accomplishment. Good job!!!! Take care and see you soon.
Thank you Cath for all your info on the Oslo coat. I have had the pattern for a while but not got round to starting it yet. One of the reasons was that I didn’t think it would be warm enough ( I live in North East Scotland) but your use of the thinsulate will make a huge difference. Thanks again , hopefully I will get it made by next winter! 🤞
Great video 😊💖 interesting to hear about the changes you made to the pattern to make the fit the best for you. I think this is a lovely classic coat you will be able to wear for a long time xx
What a beautiful coat Cath. It really suits you and I love the fabric. Your review of the pattern is excellent as is your guidance tips and suggestions. As someone else here said, your delight and pride in your work is infectious. I just love you channel Cath. X
Thanks - that was very useful. I’ve just made a super tailored coat for my 29 year old son and I’m about to make another coat but this time for myself. I’d like to try the bound button holes so will take a look at that tutorial you mentioned. I’ve never done an interlining but you have made it seem fairly straight forward.
Brilliant!!! I am getting ready to start making the Oslo coat at the end of the summer... your vlog is soooooooo useful, thank you! Carry on doing what you do so well 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
hey :) thanks for another fab vlog, and what a gorgeous coat! I've never thought of sewing my own coat, it seems so complicated and probably more than I'm capable of, but you've made me want to have a go! :) Your comment about finishes the seams resonates with me. I'm quite new to sewing and a few of my earlier garments have been ruined by fraying seams going to holes, but the instructions don't seem to ever tell you about when/if to finish the seam! Also (yes I know I'm strange), the little loop you added to hang the coat up was so satisfying :) I wouldn't have thought to add it... then hanging it up would have annoyed me forever haha. So, yeah, thank you :D
Love this video, and love the coat! I've been thinking of making a coat for a while, but just haven't taken the plunge. I almost always make a toile, but I never thought of ordering swatches! Duh! Thanks for that tip. Also, a wooden clapper is great for flattening seams on heavier weight cotton, like twill or denim, not just wool. Keep up the great work!
Excellent, excellent review. As always informative, inspirational and detailed. I’d love to make Oslo Coat but would need Size 18 not sure if I have skills to grade up from 16.
You did a brilliant job I made the Oslo coat for my daughter I also found problems that attaching the lining before bagging out so confusing as well it was not you
Hi Cath great blog, could you tell me how much it cost to make the whole coat, as I think it could put people off, if they mess up. Take care stay safe xxx
Thank you very much! I haven’t actually calculated how much it cost to make it. But I found making the toile made me a lot more comfortable in terms of knowing what I was doing, so that helped a lot to reduce worry of messing up 😊 xx
An excellent and thorough review Cath! Thanks😀. I’m planning to make a coat for my daughter and you touched on all of my concerns. When you lowered the armhole did you also make a sleeve adjustment? Turned out beautiful..a real classic💕
You made a fabulous coat Cath. Your joy in your work and your achievement really shines through. You are an incredible resource and inspiration. Thank you x

Thank you for watching. I am really pleased with how the coat turned out, I’d be less daunted to try making another coat now xx

Thanks for watching, a tailored coat for your son sounds fantastic. Yes I found the interlining more straightforward than I expected it might be.

A brilliant make Cath. Such a helpful video as i have just purchased some boiled wool and lining to make a jacket.
Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy sewing your jacket, boiled wool is such a lovely fabric.
Very useful! Was planning on trying Thinsulate in a coat soon!
Oh brilliant so glad you found it useful, the coat is really nice and cosy with the thinsulate interlining

Really interesting and informative vlog. I have watched you since you started and your delivery in this vlog is so good. Thanks Cath.

Beautiful coat! The bound buttonholes look wonderful!
Thank you so much!

Thanks for that tip. Also, a wooden clapper is great for flattening seams on heavier weight cotton, like twill or denim, not just wool.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much! I am so happy with my clapper, I can’t wait for more opportunities to use it, such an effective tool! Thanks for watching 😊
Very smart looking and excellent work.
Thank you very much
Beautiful coat! And I love the double bound buttonholes. I want to try doing those.😍
Thank you very much! ❤️
Very good informative vlog, so useful Thank you
Thank you very much, I’m really glad you found it useful.
Love your coat great video 💕
Thank you very much 💖
Love your coat It looks amazing and very professional.
Thank you so much.
Excellent, excellent review. As always informative, inspirational and detailed. I’d love to make Oslo Coat but would need Size 18 not sure if I have skills to grade up from 16.
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed the vlog.
Reassuring review Cath. I’ve had the pattern for a year or so, but unsure about making it. Maybe I’ll get it done this autumn now.
Thanks Jan, it is a lovely coat pattern, I hope you enjoy if if you do sew it this autumn.
You did a brilliant job I made the Oslo coat for my daughter I also found problems that attaching the lining before bagging out so confusing as well it was not you
Thank you very much. I’m glad it was not just me with attaching the lining 😊
No with old age I thought that’s why I was struggling that was so unclear but it looks beautiful on you and my daughter this was my first ever coat
Really lovely coat. When you deepened the armholes what did you do to the sleeves to make them fit?
Thank you very much. I also deepened the dip of the sleeve shoulder seam that joins the underarm by the same amount.
I see, I think I might try this pattern, I love it. Thank you for the advice. 😊
Hi Cath great blog, could you tell me how much it cost to make the whole coat, as I think it could put people off, if they mess up. Take care stay safe xxx
Thank you very much! I haven’t actually calculated how much it cost to make it. But I found making the toile made me a lot more comfortable in terms of knowing what I was doing, so that helped a lot to reduce worry of messing up 😊 xx

Thanks so much Donna, I’m so glad you found the vlog useful 💕 Yes I did adjust the sleeves too by the same amount 😊
Lovely coat, thanks for all your help on the pattern. Susan Peach
Thank you so much
