Looking for a suitable fabric to make my husband a coat, I stumbled on your video. It learned me about a fabric I never heard of. Good tips on how to use it. Thanks!
Found you when looking for an underwear how to. Have since rewatched that playlist at least three times and all your other videos and shorts. Thank you for all the helpful information and sharing of knowledge 🤗 have begun my block. Was just looking at your waxed fabrics the other day and thinking what I would make with them. What perfect timing 😜
I love the leather-like look and feel of some waxed cottons. I have a piece of gunmetal metallic waxed cotton that I’ve been meaning to use to make a camera bag but have also been thinking of acquiring some black waxed cotton to make a motorcycle style jacket. Great content thanks.
I kept thinking of a bikers style jacket with waxed cotton myself :) But the weather & styling I had in mind doesn't include rain. If you do make one, I'd love to see :)
I dont think Ive ever heard of waxed fabric. I do know of waced thread. I may have seen a few work jackets that were waxed around 1960. But I think some tarps and tents were made with it. Of course. I live in South Mississippi.
What is the barrier lining made of? Polyester? Is it not possible to use just another layer of cotton instead? I really dont want to use plastic so much.
100% cotton with special wax-proof coating. As we say in the video, we didn't get any specs beyond the fact that all fabrics are 100% cotton, including linings. We don't sell polyester and never will 👍
What is the coated liming coated with. The whole point of me using wax cotton is to avoid pfas so if its a coated lining its pikely coated with something undesirable. Also googling this term comes up with many materials a lot of them are for building houses. What is this lining you are talking about ehat naterial what chemicals etc.
@sempi8159 yeah it was hard to find out what material she's talking about because she doesn't day exactly what it is jus coated lining.so a lot of coated building lining came up and pipes and just coat lining...shes very vague or maybe I didn't understand something but she doesn't say if it's nylon or what... I wouldnt be bothered if I need a nylon lining or other plastic of pfas.
@maryrosemakes oh yeah screw that may as well just buy a bloody gortex coat. Flouracarbons I came across recently in a furniture polish that coated the stairs in grease that was impossible to remove. It was useless sprosuct. And labelled beeswax polish. My mom bought it to be good and we all love beeswax. Sigh. Everything is a rip off and a con these days. I'll just buy a waxed jacket like they have made for hundreds of years with a caplets around the top ... and they have got cotton linings and last decades. I'll buy an ancient one theyrve probably started using petrol in the newer ones.
@@ElenaHarashchuk we only had a rewax and a reproof spray. The wax was for the waterproof jacket fabric and the spray was a weather resistant application. We didn’t have a waterproof spray.
@@DESmith-yb4ir cultural and language differences. English is my fourth language. Always useful to have the smaller details clarified. Thank you for your comment.
I often use the wrong terms because I directly translate from my 1st language, and I always giggle when I get comments like this , wondering how many languages the person speaks. You handled it so beautifully. Thank you for a very informative video
@@arkdefo kudos for being able to communicate and therefore teach in a language that is not your mother tongue 🙌. In English, we use 'French seam' to describe stitching the seam first, wrong sides together, within the seam allowance. Then pressing, trimming and finally stitching the seam right sides together, along the seam line, with the seam allowance encased. Such as you might use for delicates or very fine fabric. Thanks for the epic content you are producing.
Excellent information 👌
Amazing, my husband just requested a waxed coat. This is so informative!
Wow. A big thank you Liza for such a wealth of information. Brilliant video. Also I learned another way to sew a french seam.

Thank you for all your information! Your work is appreciated.
Ive always known it as a french seam. Great vlog thank you.
My mother gifted each of her three daughters an iron like yours.

I found a few examples googling "barrier lining oilskin/waxed cotton" and they seem to be coated with "fluorocarbon" which is less than ideal I agree
Yes exactly! The point of using waxed cotton is to not use plastic forever materials....

@@Padraigp jea i really want to stop using plastic in clothing where possible. Its just so much better using natural fibres instead of plastic
I would like to know if there is some spray that makes any fabric waterproof? Could you give the information to us?

@@arkdefo, thanks
The sprays use teflon wich is horrible for the environment. Use rewaxing methids instead
Interesting, but that is not a french seam. It is a flat fell seam. I did learn a lot from your video, though.

In Danish a flat felled seam and a French seam are both called French seam.
