What's up guys! It's been snowing a lot in the U.K. and I decided to make a coat for myself. To start off the coat making process, I show how to make the main front panel, the collar & the lapel. I also plan to line this coat, so I will be making lining patterns as well. I hope this video is useful to someone. Enjoy ^.^
I just found this channel and I adore how clean and nice every video of yours is and how you take care to make every piece look so nice. You're also very easy to follow and overall just such a kind and beautiful person. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, you're doing great!
Hi I came across your videos about two days ago and I love, love, love your videos and you! You are super talented. Thank you for unselfishly sharing your skills.
omg this just saved my life lol I made a coat 2 years ago with my grandfather (because he's better at sewing than me so he helped me) and we followed a pattern I bought. The collar off the pattern is really oversize and round and I don't like it but it was the only pattern I found so we used this one. I wanted to change this part of the pattern and make one for this type of collar but had no idea how so we followed the real pattern to the end. The coat is nice but I don't wear it a lot because I don't like how the collar looks. Fortunately I have a lot of fabric left so I think I am going to follow this tutorial and finally have the perfect coat!!!
Love it , been sewing sence 11 years old, Worked in Fashion Inductory more then 40 years.. But love to see others do things there way because you can allways learn something another way.. your explanations are really great I did not learn to make patterns professionally. But I had no choice in to teach myself. And it's funny cuz I worked off some of the biggest designers in New York all over 7th Avenue Couture sportswear activewear and everything in between. But there were very few black people involved. Every time I went to work somewhere I was the only black person in the room. I'm glad to have found you my sister
Thank you so much for all the videos you have been making. I have been looking every we’re on TH-cam for a good video on this. Your videos are exactly what I was looking for.
I am new to the art of sewing and making garments. I have done a couple of vests, but have had issues with the collar trim peices. This has given me a few ideas to study on. Thanks!
By the way, I am self taught. It has been fun so far. Two of my peices were shown on "the outdoor gear review" on youtube. Luke gave me a shout out. Would love for you to see it and offer suggestions or tips to improve my skillset. It is video #62 viewer mail "mind blown".
Thanks for the video my dear this is really wonderful you are the best in drafting this I really appreciated your efforts and your time may God be with you thanks once more
The video was very helpful, Thanks for sharing would appreciate if u could answer my questions. 1. Can I pick my dart if I want mine fitted (if yes, should I use side dart or bust point dart) or Lapel jacket usually don’t have dart? 2. How many inch depth to use for the back if I’m drafting my collar same way. Thanks 🙏
You're the true definition of a teacher. You've impacted so much knowledge into my life. Thanks alot ma'am. Please how can i get these pattern materials?
You are the best 😘😘, can you please make a video about how to sew lining and types of collars and how to draft them and thanks again for this amazing video,god bless you 😍😍😍❤️
Hi Kim, I love your work and am a subscriber. Could you please tell me what type of paper you are using? I've looked into Vellum paper, and it's on the small side of what I would like to do for an XL Coat, and it's expensive. What can you recommend for tracing? Thanks!
heyy this is my first time tuning in to your channel...this video was so great! thank you so much... the only thing that was a bit confusing is how you were changing your metric system reference between inches and cm but will defo be coming back for more videos
If I wanted to make a more shaped coat, could I keep the dart and just add some extra centimetres of room for the bulk of clothes, and just stick to the rest of the pattern? Beginner sewist here 😬
Hello Kim Dave, I always look forward to your tutorials cause they’re very helpful ❤️❤️, if you don’t mind please I’ll love it if you can answer my question, What is the front neckline I assume the back neck line is 3 by 2 inches, am I right?
Hi Kim, could you please help me. I'm making a coat with the shawl collar but it does not have a breaking point it should be folded flat all the way to the bottom, so does that mean I should connect the bottom of the coat straight to the shoulder and just do the curve on the outside? (because then there will be no breaking point to connect the shoulder to) please get back to me thanks xx
Yes, that's how shawl collar works. It is one piece that you stitch around the neckline & centre fronts, from left side around back neck to right side. Let me know how it goes and if this works.
Hi Kim I came across ur video and I love everyone one of them I'm a seamstress too but I have one little problem when I cut my dresses and tops I'm finding the front shoulder goes at the back can u tell me what I'm doing wrong please and what can I do to fix it thank u

Thank you, this really helped me💕
Why do we insert 1.5cm from the shoulder into the Cool River and enter 1cm in the neck, please help
If I wanted to make a more shaped coat, could I keep the dart and just add some extra centimetres of room for the bulk of clothes, and just stick to the rest of the pattern?
Beginner sewist here 😬
Do you mean cutting a full front panel with a dart instead of the multiple panels on the front?
@@KimDave yes, I think so?
Woooow darling great job
Thanks Shifan 😊
Thank you girlllllll!!! I just love you😘
I just noticed, the front shoulder seam was shortened by 1/2 inch when u added the collar. Was that a problem?
I needed to see the back pact of the jacket to knw how it look like thank
Hi Kim,
Kindly I didn't see how many inches u added to make the flap at the front
Hello Kim Dave, I always look forward to your tutorials cause they’re very helpful ❤️❤️, if you don’t mind please I’ll love it if you can answer my question, What is the front neckline I assume the back neck line is 3 by 2 inches, am I right?
You've just Masterd about that.,💐👌❤️.
Very new to making the Lapel and Revere collar, but I want to learn, this was very helpful and I will most definitely be trying. Thank you! 😁
You're welcome dear.
Glad this tutorial was useful to you 😊
This is amazing , thank you 💐💐
Excellennt, good job 👍👍👍
Do you recommend interlining to make the collar stiff? Also which books do you recommend ? Great video. Iooks like a challenge I can do
I believe fusible interfacings help to make the collar stiff. Apologies if I said interlining.
Hope you try it out for yourself ☺
Good work done
Hello Kim. Thanks for this video. I'd like to get the links to all the videos you have on how to make coat/ blazer.
Çok güzel paylaşım ellerinize saglık
Türkçe çeviriside olsa ne güzel olurdu 💐
Thank you very it helped me well

Hello, can I ask where did you get the ruler? I’ve never seen that shape of ruler in Korea. Looks really useful.
The curved ruler? That's a pattern master
