I bow before you, Marie. If I would have ventured into this project myself, I would make myself a nice velvet noose and hang myself midway... You are the grand master of sewing. The jacket turned out so beautiful!!❤💐💐
Oh my word Marie. You have the patience of a saint. Great job. A blind guy running for a bus wouldn’t notice any of the bits that you’re not 100% with 😂😂😂. 🙋🏼🏴
Word of warning about Heat & Bond Ultra bond, it is NOT meant to be stitched through. H&B Light is better if you need to do stitching when using. At least that's what I've always been told. What an interesting project... Your jacket turned out beautiful! When you said you were using a curtain, I have to admit, my brain immediately went to the Carol Burnett, Gone With the Wind skit... LOL 😂
OMG your determination, patience and problem solving knowledge is a thing of beauty to watch. You totally inspire me thank you for your video's. Enjoy your traveling and family time! Safe travels.
The fabric misbehaves, but there’s nothing as beautiful as a well made velvet garment. So romantic and luxurious. I agree with you about making another one. Some garments are better off being one of a kind, especially ones that threaten our sanity during the making. Your little jacket looks like it goes well with your blue dress.
You’re a trooper! Creative project. I wondered about that type of H & B. I also used it in the wrong project once. 🤦 Lesson learned. 😂 One of my machines also doesn’t have a bobbin monitor so I’m often discovering an empty bobbin at a bad time. 🥴 Thanks for sharing your process.
Your video intrigued me. We lived in Bolivia for a few years. Looking forward to seeing the details... WOW what an ambitious project. I wish I had taken more attention to the customs and. clothing design of the country. I do know I was amazed by the colors and full skirts and how hard the people worked to make their living. Thank you for this wonderful sew along/ tutorial. What a learning experience we have all had with your journey here.
So cute, and a great fit. What a lot of work! I'm thinking, like you said, it could be made without the muslin underlining. That would make it lots easier, even with an actual lining. If I were to make this, it would be for one of my teen granddaughters because I don't have a nicely defined waist like you and they do!
Very interesting. My sewing skills are not nearly what yours are. I've had love/hate relationships with my projects. I'm impressed with your tenacity. The jacket is cute, but watching you work through the difficulties made the time well spent!
I have learned a lot by watching your videos. You do a wonderful job of explaing what you're sewing and how to sew it and different modifications you can make. It's all very helpful information. Keep it up and I'm glad you are not letting the haters deter you!
Loved that apron! I didn't think it would look as good as it turned out! This is the first time I've seen one of your videos and loved your instructions. Oh, and I've subscribed and hit the like button to boot lol
Well that took a lot of patience and problem-solving, not to mention perseverence, but I really like that style and am sure it would have been so much easier if that fusible hadn't pulled a nasty trick on you! I really felt for you and was sooooooo happy to see that it softened up in the wash. Phew!! When it comes to the braidwork there is a time-saving foot-and-attachment (aka doodackey or doodad) for Singer machines (the vintage kind but they may well work on modern low shank machines of other brands too) called an 'underbraider'. They had more than one version but the easiest ones to use are designed so you draw the pattern on the wrong side, and stitch from wrong side, and the attachment makes sure the braid is stitched on the right side. For anyone wanting to do a fair bit of braid work (and it does look so nice!) it's a foot worth having... Quite a few vintage machines come with it in the attachment box (or in a drawer) but most people don't know what it is. There's a couple of nice vids on using them here on yt for those that might want to check it out. :-)
Where can I find your videos of you painting & restoring vintage sewing machines? I am working on my Singer 66 that is almost 100 years old. It sews beautifully (course it's straight stitch only, but that's ok) & I'm leaving the original paint & decals. I just want to make it look better & I was hoping to get some pointers from you. ❤ Thank you so much. Love you & all you do!
wonderful video - do have a question - wouldn't old fashioned tracing paper to transfer design work properly? Or is that not even really available/used anymore?
I didn't line it, but I think if you needed to, make the lining from the skirt pattern and do them separately, and then sew them together at the front opening and waist before attaching the front button band. If that makes any sense.

You have ecelled yourself with this project. The patience... the knowledge... indeed no quick and easy sew. Bravo!

You deserve a gold star for this project, it took a lot of work and time, good job👍🏻❤️
Oh my word Marie. You have the patience of a saint. Great job. A blind guy running for a bus wouldn’t notice any of the bits that you’re not 100% with 😂😂😂. 🙋🏼🏴
wow ihope you will try other Folk Wear patterns.
You are amazing! So glad you ended up loving it after all that work. And YES I hate running out of bobbin!!!
It is fantastic ❤

Haha, same image came up in my mind - Carol Burnett 😄😄
I'm enjoying your videos, love the jacket. Beautiful. ❤
That was such a classic! I loved the curtain rod touch!
some projects we love, some projects we learn from. Oh well.
Love your dedication to a project. You're always refreshing to watch
OMG your determination, patience and problem solving knowledge is a thing of beauty to watch. You totally inspire me thank you for your video's. Enjoy your traveling and family time! Safe travels.
Very cute. ❤
Enjoy your couple weeks visiting!
Your new jacket IS cute😊
It is so pretty!!! Ijust love it Marie
A nice watch and glad it turned out ❤
You are talented!

You problem solve so well and stay calm. I definitely need to stick with things that aren't going smoothly and just breathe. Great make! ❣️💙
Just breathe, take a walk, and then try again. After all, it's just fabric.
You’re a trooper! Creative project. I wondered about that type of H & B. I also used it in the wrong project once. 🤦 Lesson learned. 😂 One of my machines also doesn’t have a bobbin monitor so I’m often discovering an empty bobbin at a bad time. 🥴 Thanks for sharing your process.
A true labor of love. I love how you manage around every difficulty you encounter. I like the way it turned out.
It was definitely worth waiting for! Very cute!

Sooooooooooooooooo worth the troubles you had with it!♥

If I were to make this, it would be for one of my teen granddaughters because I don't have a nicely defined waist like you and they do!
It is actually so comfy. They could wear it with jeans too,
It likes similar to a Spencer jacket. I love the Soutache appliqué embroidery. Gorgeous outcome!
Very interesting. My sewing skills are not nearly what yours are. I've had love/hate relationships with my projects. I'm impressed with your tenacity. The jacket is cute, but watching you work through the difficulties made the time well spent!
Oh! That turned out so beautiful!! Love how talented you are and your problem solving abilities!!
Nice jacket!!❤😂

It turned out so nice!
It turned out great.Keep inspiring.
I have a Folkwear pattern for a Gibson Girl blouse that I have put off making for about 10 years. Maybe I'll try it this summer.
I have the armistice blouse pattern, that I love... lacy and such. I may do that soon.
amazing great job
Very interesting, nothing like that in the UK! So cute on you.
Thank you!
Loved that apron! I didn't think it would look as good as it turned out! This is the first time I've seen one of your videos and loved your instructions. Oh, and I've subscribed and hit the like button to boot lol

It did turn out good, worth the migraine 😂
“Ask me how I learned!” lol

I will definitely check that out. The idea of not seeing the braid as you sew it on is intriguing. Thanks Megan!

I just finished a 66. Such a great machine..
wonderful video - do have a question - wouldn't old fashioned tracing paper to transfer design work properly? Or is that not even really available/used anymore?
Maybe, but I have a very hard time being able to see wheel and tracing paper marks
My contrary nature demands I make this now 😹
(I love it)
Question. Why do you serge the edges on most of your projects?
To make sure they won't fray when I wash them. Pretty much
Isn’t a short Spanish jacket technically a “Bolero” ? Unless a Bolero is that much shorter, fitted etc. hmmmm ……
I didn't line it, but I think if you needed to, make the lining from the skirt pattern and do them separately, and then sew them together at the front opening and waist before attaching the front button band. If that makes any sense.
