This week I found out the owner of Papercut Patterns, Katie, has been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. If you've been thinking of purchasing a Papercut pattern, or if you'd like to purchase the Stacker jacket pattern I used in this video, please do as I'm sure Katie could really do with the love and support right now! You can shop Papercut patterns here: papercutpatterns.com/collections/patterns xx
Dhalia Sewciety here on TH-cam has suggested only buying PDF patterns so Katie doesn't have to work at packing things while getting treatment. She's started a hashtag for it, too. Check out her video on it.
Me too 😂 Life’s to short for toiles (all though, I’m getting started on my cord trousers this week and I’m definitely doing a practice run for those first!) x
For future reference, I’d advise on always leaving about a 6” / 15cm opening in the lining of one of your sleeves. It’s how coats and jackets are bagged out in the fashion / tailoring industry here in the UK and it means that no matter what the instructions say, you’ll always have an opening to close out the garment! Your coat turned out gorgeous! 😍
Love the coat. The colors are perfect for you. Me too. If you cut 2 sizes of the collar pattern, it won't curl. Unless you want a stand up collar, of course. Also hem the lining, and the body of the coat separately tacking them together with long tacks at seams, etc. The lining will hang more freely. All in all, gorgeous.
I've only just started out sewing (my mum gave me her old sewing machine) and my first proper project is making a summer dress for my 2 year old, but I hope one day to be able to make clothes for myself and can only dream of making something like this. Your videos are always so easy to follow, I love them and everything you create
So inspiring Janelle! I'm the daughter of a now retired professional seamstress and the thought of making myself a coat is both exciting and daunting... the critiques can be brutal. I've learned to not share my projects until they're successful. It's awesome if I need guidance and expert advice though, so not all bad!
Such a gorgeous coat! I love how you lengthened it, added the pocket details, and used the pretty upcycled tablecloth plaid inside. That color looks amazing on your too! 👏🏻👏🏻
I have really been looking forward to this project and it didn’t disappoint 😀. I think you should go back to Spotlight and get the green woolly fabric and make another one. Maybe shorter with wooden buttons. That would be gorgeous too. Have a lovely week.
It looks lovely Janelle. I used to use the sewing machine to attach buttons when I had a lot to do with limited time, but always pulled my loose thread to the back and tied off.
Hello! I'm still trying to catch up watching all the videos that posted while I was away visiting the grandkids. I hope you have a happy week ahead! Thank you for posting and sharing your talent.
Hi Janelle, Thank you for sharing your courageous, second venture into coat making and the brilliantly successful results! I absolutely love the soft & cozy pink fabric you chose for the coat's outer layer and the beautifully fun pink & cream coloured plaid lining. By the way, your first coat--that was, literally, made from a cozy yellow blanket that had lovely, soft colored flowers all over it--was so perfect that I hoped to make one as close to your design as possible. Then, today, when I learned of your plans to make a second soft and cozy coat--that was similar to your first coat, only made longer and, now, pink this time--I began to think that you should have a line of coats based on these first two coats and organize to market and sell them worldwide. I just can't imagine anyone not wanting one. At the end, when your tutorial on coat making was victoriously concluded, I felt your joy as if it were my own and realized what a gift it was to be able to make such wonderful apparel. Not only do you now own the garment you love and can now enjoy wearing it; but maybe even more important is the joy felt and burst of confidence that comes from knowing you created this lovely item you are wearing. The choices made in its creation; such as, pattern style, fabric type in solid or pattern, colours used, and accessories selected customize the garment perfectly according to one's own taste and body size. It just doesn't get any better.than that in the world of fashion. I love your background soundtrack music and set design. I have come to realize that even the choices you have made in these respects foster a feeling of fun and calm. Therein, dramatically increasing your followers' desire to take part in the journey of fashion designer and seamstress taken with each new sewing project. A perfect example of the value in actually "making" one's dreams come true; rather than, having them handed to you on a silver pattern. I wish you continued joy and success as you go forward with your business. And, thank you most sincerely for believing in yourself, following your heart's desire and having a giver's heart that shares her journey enroute! 💖 Sincerely, Anita
The coat came out so amazingly! I love the colour and you explain welt pockets in a way that makes it so easy to understand. Really enjoyed your video 💖💖
Your coat is beautiful I love it! You are so inspiring. When you sew buttons on the machine if you are sewing with a thick fabric,you can use a hump jumper tool to sit your button on so it has a longer shank for the thickness of fabric.xx
Wow! It looks absolutely fantastic! You’re so clever and an inspiration to me to start making my own clothes. Once I finished packing up my house and I’m in my new place, I’m going to start.
found you from Maere makes, and I love your coat. Thanks for the comment about Katie, her pants 👖 pattern is just what I was looking for last summer, it's on its way now!
The only pattern I've ever tested in advance was for memory bears because I was so terrified to cut into the special fabrics! Love the lining on this coat ☺️ I made my wife a grey coat and she chose pink for the lining for a bit of fun! 💕
I've been hanging out for this video - and the coat is just as amazing as I imagined! And that lining... 😃 After you posted your sewing plans video I went straight to Spotlight to buy the same fabric. It's very inspiring to see it in a finished piece - I think I now have the confidence to have a go making my own 😊 (I agree - life's too short for voiles!)
I have two unmade coats that I've been procrastinating on for longer than I'm willing to admit, but seeing the actual construction of a coat has made me want to work on mine. Thank you! xD I absolutely love the pink fabric you chose for this. The green was gorgeous too haha!
Amazing work Janelle, the coat is so beautiful! I found a woven doona cover in pink and rust colours that I can’t wait to turn into a coat, but I think I need to try some simpler garments first! I hope you release your own coat pattern with all the perfect details. Love your videos!
I rarely ever make a toile as it just adds so much to the time involved. I hate the cutting out process and the placement of the pattern pieces. I always need to make a narrow shoulder adjustment so the whole thing is quite a process for me so I admire people Ike yourself who are so passionate about sewing. I have made some great outfits for myself over the years just the same.
Coat looks amazing those colours look great on you I love the texture of the lining too makes it look even cosier. Just a side note your editing on these videos lately have been on point. The quality of the audio editing too much improved thanks for the extra effort it really has made a difference. 👍
Wishing Katie all my love to have the best outcome,x. Love your coat.Did I miss you sewing the buttonholes?Were they traditional or bound? Everything you make suits you 100%,
Yes I can’t be bothered doing a toile either ha! I love this coat I want to try make in a green colour shade (same fabric) so it’s a matcha shade hehe but wondering how cheaper machines go on thick fabric I’ve only ever sewed cottons . Any tips re foots? Quilting clips a good idea I see
Such a beautiful coat Janelle! I just bought the stacker jacket pattern and was wondering if you could tell me how much material I will need for this amazing project? Looking to make it a long coat just like the one you made. Cheers
i looove your coats videos! great job girl u nailed it it looks so worm and comfy ...wht about a denim bicker jacket? it would be awsome to try out for spring
I've seen some really cute biker jackets done in a stretch suede fabric. I reckon one of these would be really cute over a shift dress or with a simple circle skirt and tshirt for office or work attire or day to night wear. 🤔
I love your coat! I went to the link where info on your fabric was to be, but it just took me to the store. Can you tell me if it was wool, fleece, or ? I have watched so many of your videos and am binge-ing on them. 😀
Just rewatching this in preparation of making my own soon ! Wondering is it possible to sew the sleeve lining on at the same time as doing the sleeves? (if that makes sense)
Thank you for this video , I have wanted to try and line a coat, I have a light weight denim pattern coat that I have got in a patterned denim fabric it doesn’t include a lining but I want to line in it , I see from your finished coat , (that is beautiful I have to say ) , do I have to cut the lining smaller in width because I can see by my your coat that you have just made ,looks that way , am I correct ?and would it turn out right, you have given a fabulous idea which I love, is that to to put a wow lining in instead of the plain one , thank you xxx
I love this! I've purchased the pattern and am about to buy fabric, but because this is my first-time pattern hacking and adding length, I'm not sure how much more fabric I need to buy. Approx. how much did you use? 😊
Yay I’m so glad you’re giving this project a go! The fabric I used was 150cm wide and all up I used about 2 metres (I bought 3m though, just in case I stuffed up the pockets) x
Such a pretty coat! And it suits you so well! I made a coat last winter (we have summer here at the moment) and I made it unlined but endet up finishing all the edges inside with bias binding:D so lining would have been quicker I think. Love your videos!
When you unpick, do you finish the thread again by sewing the ends? I’m always unsure whether it will continue to unpick itself or not. Love the coat also!! 😍😍
Hi, just a question, what size needle did you use? ….. and another question, when printing up pdf patterns, besides the option of an at home printer, have you had any experience with using office works or other printing businesses? Thank you 😊
Janelle I love your coat great job. I recently watched a video by Bernadette Banner called Pressing the Tailors Secret to Perfect Seams. I thought this technique would have worked perfectly on your coat project. It is definitely worth and watch for future projects. I hope I can find some fabric like yours!

Yes PDF purchases are a great option, but she has said on Insta she has a team packing paper pattern orders atm too! 😊
@@RoseryApparel Excellent! Good to know!
Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Prayers to her and her family.❤🙏
I'm glad I'm not the only impatient sewer Janelle. 😂 I start praying it works as soon as I cut into my fabric
Me too 😂 Life’s to short for toiles (all though, I’m getting started on my cord trousers this week and I’m definitely doing a practice run for those first!) x

@@RoseryApparel I’ll be watching 🙂

I also made a lined coat and it was so satisfying! It is in a vintage style and I've had people ask where i bought it. Love how yours turned out :)
I had a pink coat a number of years ago and it was so fun to wear! Also, Pink is so in fashion right now ❤❤❤
Perfect coat and perfect colour
Wow Janelle, well done!!! Love your coat. My fav colour too and yes the coloured lining and length is perfect! !!!
Thanks Sharon! I’m obsessed 😍
Happy to see you tried sewing on the buttons by machine! It's so easy and the stitches get so even and well secured 👌🏻
The coat came out so amazingly! I love the colour and you explain welt pockets in a way that makes it so easy to understand. Really enjoyed your video 💖💖
It is very hot summer time where I am in the US, but you’re giving me great ideas for when it gets colder! Love that coat!
Wow! Fabulous coat and Love all your extra special touches. I so enjoy all your sewing projects and your fabric color choices are so beautiful.
I've learned to sew lining together separately and then insert it and hens .
Wow gorgeous coat, just beautiful. Great video.
It’s absolutely beautiful!! I’d love to have a coat like that!!
Woww such an awesome project! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!💕
I love this, when fall starts for me, I'ma make thisss
Do it! It’s such a fun project 💕
Your coat is beautiful I love it! You are so inspiring. When you sew buttons on the machine if you are sewing with a thick fabric,you can use a hump jumper tool to sit your button on so it has a longer shank for the thickness of fabric.xx
What a fantastic sewing project you’ve done, it looks so professional ✂️🧵🪡x
Beautiful, I love it, I think I am going to give the Poppy Coat a try.
That’s so nice. Looks beautiful on you.
Wow! It looks absolutely fantastic! You’re so clever and an inspiration to me to start making my own clothes. Once I finished packing up my house and I’m in my new place, I’m going to start.
Aw thanks! I’m glad you find it inspiring x
Wow! Amazing job 😊 you’re a true talent designer. Your coat is gorgeous💕👏🏼
Aw thanks! 💕💕
found you from Maere makes, and I love your coat.
Thanks for the comment about Katie, her pants 👖 pattern is just what I was looking for last summer, it's on its way now!
Gorgeous fabric! Love the look on you! Well Done!🤗❤😘
wow that's incredible! It looks so good! Really impressive, great job
Beautiful! I love watching you make those pockets…so amazing!!
I’ve been waiting for this ever since you bought the fabric and I’m blown away! You are amazing and what a fantastic project!!!
Aw thank you! I was so excited about this project, and I’m glad it turned out exactly as I was hoping 😍
Beautiful Janelle. You have inspired me to make a coat this winter. Your instructions were clear and concise. Thanks.
The only pattern I've ever tested in advance was for memory bears because I was so terrified to cut into the special fabrics!
Love the lining on this coat ☺️ I made my wife a grey coat and she chose pink for the lining for a bit of fun! 💕
Love a fun lining 😍
Gosh, your coat is so cute! Great job! Love the shade of pink!
Lovely coat. Looking to start sewing coats also. I think store coats seem to be darker colors. Your coat is cheerful to look at.
What a lovely lovely 🏵️ 🏵️ coat! I'm a beginner sewing and I just love watching your videos ❤️
Aw thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos 💕
Slick tute, they look great! Love your coat :)

Nice. I’ve been all about that dusty blush pink color lately.
You should make the jacket in a lightweight canvas or denim for spring.
I made the jacket version of this pattern out of corduroy last year and love it! You can find the video here: th-cam.com/video/QuDuoWjseSY/w-d-xo.html
@@RoseryApparel OH, that's right. Sorry..
It's so satisfying to watch you create this beautiful coat! Well done!

Beautiful coat...being brave really works !!!
That looks so warm🥰
Looks wonderful 😊
Just a really beautiful coat!!!!! The color and the lining are perfect!!!!
Thank you! I’m so in love with the colour and lining too! 😍💕
Perfect as usual. You are so talented, I would be scared to even try doing something on that level. Thanks for taking us along!!!!!!
It looks impressive, but I promise coats aren’t as hard as you think! I wish I gave it a try sooner 💕
Wow! That coat turned out beautifully! I’m going to try one this fall here in Canada!
This coat turned out cute!

Adore this coat! do you recall how much fabric you used for this pattern with the extension?
I ended up needing about 2 meters. The fabric I used was 150cm wide 😊

When you unpick, do you finish the thread again by sewing the ends? I’m always unsure whether it will continue to unpick itself or not. Love the coat also!! 😍😍
Which sewing machine do you used for all of these beautiful item....❣️❣️❣️❣️

What a great video. What would be a good fabric to use to make a toile for a coat?
