I love the soft colors in your new Chanel tweed jacket you just made. It looks so cheerful and the sequins will look nice. The dolphins are so cute! How nice to have extra fabric leftover for a matching handbag. The Cactus jacket is looking gorgeous! Happy sewing! 😀🧥🌵🐬🎨🪡🧵💖
This particular video has given me the courage to sew my first Chanel jacket! Thank you. I will use the Vogue pattern and your method of mesh--which does not fit with the instructions on the pattern. In month-long search for videos and instructions I decided to buy the Craftsy class--but I really do not like the quilted method at all--I want to see a lovely smooth lining on my jacket. Do you have another video that would demonstrate a simple way to do the lining?
That's so awesome! In this video I make a tweed jacket from Vogue V7975 with the silk lining. th-cam.com/video/Xuh8innCgPI/w-d-xo.html Best of luck with your jacket! 🥰🎨🧥
Thank you! I like draughting my own handbag patterns. So, I think it will have a vintage silhouette and faux bamboo handles (I already have the lovely handles). 🥰🎨🌸🧥👜
I personally never cut darts into tweed as it unravels very easily. You can just cut out each piece in net and in tweed, stitch the two layers together, then pin all the pieces together to make the jacket. As long as you take your time cutting out each piece and making sure the horizontal lines match across all the front, back and sleeve pieces, it will look pattern-matched. (A good way to do this is to make a cotton mock up, draw the lines of your tweed/plaid on the cotton, then unpick it. You'll know exactly where to place your pattern pieces so the whole of your tweed jacket will be pattern-matched.) You can also put pockets over the bust, to cover any pattern mis-matches.
ive been binging your videos and now i have to make all the jackets!...love how you bead them ..i watched your structure video but im still not sure what 'netting' you use or recommend...is it tulle, crinoline material, plastic or is it something thats coated with a stiffener...thank you, sorry if i missed it in a video
Awesome! Thank you! It's stiff netting, the kind that you use to make a 1950's net petticoat. It's quite cheap, so only the big fabrics stores like JoAnn's stock it. It's in the novelty/cosplay section. Tulle is too soft. Netting is basically plastic with holes punched in it. It holds the weight of the tweed beautifully once you hand-stitch the two layers together. Next tweed jacket I make, I'll be sure to show this part of the process in more detail. 🧥🥰🎨🧵🪡
@@PerfectJacket oh awesome! thank you. no joann's in canada but ill have a look at costume supply or home decor. i tried finding something in fabric land but no luck...i also tried laying light weight muslin but it soooo did not let the tweed i bought have its personality...lol ppl laugh when i say that but it totally does...thanks again and look forward to the next
Curious about the ‘structural layer’ and the choice of netting. My instinct tells me that firm silk organza would be the better solution, especially if the final jacket were not heavily beaded, but I’m guessing you’ve tried that. Any thoughts? Thanks.
The Paris design houses use netting for haute couture tweed jackets. The net means the tweed doesn't sag. It looks good for decades. Silk organza is popular with non-couture dressmakers. It is cheaper to dry clean, as you don't have to find a specialist dry cleaner.

You're welcome! 🌸🧵🎨🥰🧥
Thanks ever so much! I am so curious what pattern you will choose for the coordinating handbag!

I love your videos… as a bustie gal…. I don’t think I could do your method. Would you still recommend making the support tulle but darting the tweed?
