I just ordered the book! I have returned to sewing for the public out of necessity. Grateful for the God given skill of sewing! Thanks for the inspiration!
👍
I love this video! Great job. I can't wait to see the finished coat.💖
Thank you! 😊
A very informative process and I’ll have to get her book. I have the opposite bust problem! I “assist” my 25 yo granddaughter to make her elaborate cosplay costumes (in between quilt projects) and I’m sure there are tricks we can use! Thanks for again making my fabric world better. 🤗🤗
It looks so good already!!
Wow, this lady I have to check out her videos. She has made fantastic changes and helped you to get the coat that you are going to be so very proud of. Can’t wait to see your finished project. Great video thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Thanks Carmen!
Fun!
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
Waoo
Where do you stand with your quilted coat?
What an amazing process! Respect to anyone who has the patience to customize their patterns this way. I am looking forward to watching the rest of your quilt coat journey.
I’ve become really interested in seeing the outcome of this particular project. Waiting patiently for another installment.
No wonder I never liked the way clothes I made fit right. THANK YOU for being vulnerable and sharing these pattern fitting tips! I have similar issues with full bust and didn't know any of these tips. I don't feel confident enough to do this but I definitely see how necessary it is.
Great ideas to help getting a good fit 👏👏 Good luck with your coat 🤞🤞🇬🇧
Wow, the muslin piece was very flattering on you! Can’t wait to see the real thing!
Oh thank you!
People who have brains/skills that make creating garments possible are the most amazing and wonderful people…I look at garment patterns and my head spins
So did you get the quilt coat finished? If so, what's the video called. It/s 12/15/23. Thank you! :)
I am so impressed. I used to dread those ‘ tissue’ paper patterns. This is a fantastic journey. Great job !!!
This is so helpful. I bought some vintage tunic patterns recently because I have such beautiful fabric and hate shopping where I can’t find anything I love that fits. I used to make all my clothes. Have you seen Kate at the Last Homely House on TH-cam make her denim coat with Sashiko stitching and a reversible lining? It seems we’ve all arrived at the same conclusion.
I always made a muslin trial garment from the tissue pieces to work out the necessary adjustments since one side of my body differs from the other. Then I’d cut that apart to create my pattern pieces. I find that easier than adjusting tissue ones, get a more true fit.
I sewed theater costumes ages ago. Getting that shoulder seam on the end of your shoulder bone can take 10 yrs off of a figure. Also, get a bra on during fittings that support "the girls" properly. Also if you are losing weight .....your bust will reduce in Size and coat may not fit well.
That's one reason why I am waiting for the quilted pieced to be done before I do the final fit. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I have to adjust down 😁
This video excites me! I’ve always wanted to know how to adjust better than I know. This fills the bill! Will you be showing us more of the process you are using to make your coat? A huge Thank You for todays video! 😁
Karen, thanks for sharing! I can’t wait to see your finished coat. This makes me want to get my clothes patterns out & get that skill back up to par….but it’s been ages since I did anything like that. Please keep us updated as you go!!!!!!💙
Impressive! This jacket is going to fit like a glove! I stopped making garmets years ago as they never "fit" and I didn't know how to adjust them and couldn't find anyone to teach me. Hmmm 🤔, maybe there is still hope for me!
Wow...she is an expert! How satisfying to know you have a good pattern. That is key!
It will look gorgeous when completed. This lady is amazing and you are a brave soul to attempt such a project over zoom but you are sharp so I'm not surprised of the attempt!!!!
Thanks!
Wow! What a great process you and Kate demo'd! Your muslin prototype looks fantastic. Can't wait to see the next episode about your new coat! It's been a long time since I sewed a garment. This project made me nostalgic for those days. Also, thanks for the recommendation of Noom.
Wow!! What a great process to fit your pattern, which is such a flattering shape for you Karen. We all need a new best friend like Kate.😅
I have thought about quilt coats after seeing so many photos posted . It just doesn't get that cold where we are to need one, but was going to make a dressing gown type. Look forward to seeing your coat come together. Congrats on Noom achievement. Julie💞🇦🇺
Thx
Awesome fitting! Kate is very very good! I think I want her book!
Well just WOW! Amazing. I can't imagine fiddling with that thin pattern paper like you did. I am so impressed and I learned a lot. Sewing clothing is so much harder than quilting. Great job! I can't wait to see the finish product.
What a great video! You have a way of breaking things down into manageable pieces. Kate is fantastic! Thanks to both of you.
Thanks Imogene!
Nice to have a coach help along the way. It’s over my head but I will enjoy watching you finish your coat.
Wow! Great video...so many steps to get a good fit!
So interesting! Can't wait to see the finished coat.
This is incredible! The time both of you set aside to make this video for so many to see is very generous. I hope it is helpful to many.
That's fantastic! I used to see nearly all my own clothes, but my post-menopausal body means that the standard patterns don't fit so well any longer. I loved watching this and will definitely try those techniques! Thank you. Can't wait to see the finished coat!
Wow Karen! Now you have me wanting to make a Bella Duster! Miss Kate was super nice to help you. Between the two of you, it looks like you guys did a great job altering the pattern! I cannot wait to see the next process and the end result. I am sure it is going to be beautiful and you will look gorgeous in it!!!
Can't wait til we get to see the finished coat!
So informative. Looks like a winner!🤗
Wow Karen, I had no idea how a pattern could be adapted to fit. Way to go. You are doing a good job. I will be following, just like I have since you began your TH-cam Channel. 🥰 Chris
Is a muslin necessary to fit the pattern? Absolutely! You've made all those adjustments on that flimsy tissue paper, but you can't really wear it. A muslin is something you can wear for a while in and around the house while making normal movements like sitting and reaching and you'll know soon enough if it isn't as comfortable as you first thought or you find that you have limited range of motion. Better to discover any potential problems with a muslin than to do months of work making a gorgeous coat only to find out you can't sit in a car and raise your arms to move the steering wheel. 😉
I dread paper patterns but this was a great video in patience. Cannot wait to see your finished project. Thank you for sharing.
👍💖
What am I missing??? I can't find the video for the making of the quilt as you go coat?? Please let me know how to find it, I am very interested.
Lucky you had someone who knows how to adjust by video and talk you through it.
Is the coat for less cold times because I noticed fitting was with just a tshirt on and the muslin draft garment fits well but doesn't seem to have room for further layers underneath.
Good luck with Noom.
Wow and good for you! I have several things by palmer pletsch, their books are great. I also have that same cutting mat on my sewing table.
Karen the mock up of the coat looks wonderful. It's going to look GREAT. How nice to have the help you need by such an experienced sewer !!
I am very thankful to Kate
Was wondering about negative ease to allow for fit of a thicker quilted material? Your muslin fits beautifully, are there adjustments to be made to the to accommodate for a different fabric?
Looks like a great fit - I’ve wanted to make this pattern but it’s out of print and nobody has ever created a digital version so I will just have to “sew it virtually” by watching you. :-)
Karen, that muslin looks WONDERFUL. It's going to be a gorgeous coat. Isn't it so good to have a tutor by your side?
I discovered this tissue fitting method about 2 years ago and it is a game changer. Looking forward to following you on your quilt coat.
This was so great. Thanks so much for showing us this process. It’s going to look great on you. Excited to see the finished product.
Karen, Loved this vedio, Thank you so much for the inspiration & bravery for putting yourself on display. A quilted coat is on my list to do. Due to age & size (4'9") purchased clothes are usually altered, So I usually make my own. I am looking for a Princess coat style again(my High School senior project was a princess coat 55 yrs. ago) & I forgot why. Looking forward to watching you complete your quilted coat. I love to Quilt also. Thanks again, Rachenea Eagle
This video was amazing. Thank you for walking us through all of the steps to fit this pattern. Now that you fitted this pattern you should make a second coat - quilted or not! I'm going to check out the Confident Stitch channel.
Oh boy…this is just the beginning
Muslin looks great!
Wow, this not only was inspiring but also so useful and fun. I love your videos
Not sure if I missed it somehow. Have you finished your quilt coat?
Are you still working on this? I’m interested in making a coat and looking for tips
Great content. I'm checking out her TH-cam channel too! It is huge to have her help to fit. I wonder if anything will need more adjusting based on the thickness of the quilted fabric. Also good info about your getting more healthy plan. It too takes some courage. I look forward to the next step of your jacket.
Disappointed to see you working with weight loss companies.
This is great, I hate those boxy patterns, too. Can't wait to see your next installment!
This is a brilliant video and so full of great information. Thank you 👍
Wow, that's dedication. I can't wait to see your final project.
So much fun to watch your progress and learn. Thank you 😃🌺
I had a dressmaking shop for 35 years before shifting to professional quilting. This episode really brought up the nostalgia. Fun.
This was truely the most interessting video on garnment I have ever seen. No one ever explaint the "how to fit it" Part that was. So understanable... for everyone who don't sew cloths regularly. Thank you Karen and Kate for your wonderful teaching.
Glad it was helpful!
How fortunate to be able to get help fitting! I wouldn't have chosen those wide lapels for a large bust but all the mods to the pattern looks like it will be great! Have you started making your quilt fabric? I want to do this so I'm taking mental notes. I don't like fitted clothes because of my shape (inverted triangle, wide on top, narrow-ish on bottom). I like the boxy styles but they do tend to make me look bigger. I think once I figure out what I want to do as far as making the quilt, I'm going to do it in sections to fit the pattern pieces. I think...
I was glued to this video! So interesting. I, like you, haven’t sewn a garment for decades. May have to add this to my project list.
This is awesome. Thanks for showing us this process. My mother used to make all my clothes, but I was never interested in garment sewing. Your coat is going to be fabulous!
Such a helpful video... plus a new channel to check out.
What is the batting you use to make a quilt coat?
Parabéns 🎊 🎊 👏👏👏👏💯💯💯🌹🌻🌹🌻🍁🍁🌾💐🎑🌞🌟🌇🌃😍🎈
You reallllly don't need the jangly music.
So did you ever make your quilt coat????
It’s going to look lovely on you! Well done!
Oh this is amazing and so interesting! Thank you for sharing ! Can’t wait to see the next steps in this beautiful creation!
A well fitted garment always looks amazing! Lookin forward to seeing more of your progress.
Great video! I have sewn a few garments from patterns but never modified the pattern to fit. I was amazed at all the changes that were made to customize the pattern. I can’t wait to see the finished coat.
What a great help for you, and whst a beautiful coat it will be. I always heard about Palmer Plesch and how well they taught to adjust patterns but it was great to see it in action. I learned pattern design as a teen but I may need to find their fitting book to refresh my skills and dedicate time to my post menapausal figure.
Great video - I also have a large bust and getting anything to fit is a challenge! However, I was intrigued by you saying you were going to use the muslin for a stitich and flip method of construction - if it is the backing, won't it shrink up when quilted and so be too small?
Everything is preshrunk
Good morning Karen. My message is not related to this video. I was just wondering if you knew that Veruska’s dad past away last night. I know we all enjoyed her interview with you . And I follow her and been trying to recreate one of her patterns. Just to let you know
Thank you
Wow!! It has also been many (many) years since I sewed my own clothes. There are some things that I would like to see, but, like you, my body has changed and I know that patterns won’t fit straight out of the envelope anymore. It was great to watch you move those pieces around to get a nice fit. Thanks.
A suggestion, rather than work with the delicate tissue, how about tracing the pattern on to Swedish tracing paper. It would add time to the process but give you a much more durable pattern.
That's a good idea, Diana, but the tissue actually works better. Swedish tracing paper is a little too stiff, and tape doesn't really stick to it.
Wow! What an interesting episode!
she lives next to my cousins in MT ! lol
Excellent!
What happen to your coat?
I loved the paper weights! Can't wait to see the final work of art 😍
This was very interesting.
Thanks for sharing your progress. Fitting can be frustrating, but oh so satisfying. You might consider cutting your base pieces a little larger to account for any shrinking that might happen with QAYG, then finalise the cut pieces after quilting.
Kate looks so familiar. Now I'm going to be thinking, all day, about where I saw her. LOVE the detailed fitting. It looks good in mock up. Can't wait for the quilting!!
Absolutely amazing. Nothing looks better than something made especially for you! I've made clothes ages ago, including a dress for my oldest,, which had to be drastically modified due to her proportions. It looked stunning on her.. the only thing I have done for myself are skirts. Now it feels possible to try something bigger
That adjustment was magical!! Wowzers! I have done more garment sewing in my life, and just recently tried quilting. But I have never done that kind of wizardry to a pattern! Amazing!
Good for you. Life change is a stinker. I now have a husband with dementia which makes quilting time sparse. I am proud of you for moving forward.
Awesome!
This is so awesome. I have been working to fit my daughter for clothes and her bust is not accomadated by most patterns. I think I need that book.
I was thrilled, watching this video! I am a full-busted, post-menopausal woman too, and completely appreciate "feeling like a blob" (great illustration!)
I found the pattern adjustment demonstration fascinating and empowering. Kate is brilliant! So are you, Karen, to find that expertise, figure out a way to collaborate remotely, and show us all!
The coat will be amazing - I wonder whether you will really want the lapels on the final coat, and if so, how you will do them, since they flip to show the inside.
Thanks so much for this, ladies! Awesome job.
Congratulations Karen on your health journey. You are so worth the effort it takes to care for yourself. You inspire me! The progress on fitting your pattern is so wonderful. I recently did a FBA on a T-shirt pattern. I was delighted with the finished garment. I am encouraged by your success to tackle a princess seam pattern now! ❤ Thank you for sharing your progress. Much love from Alaska ❤ Cathy
Wow! Learned so much! No wonder all my personal sewing ended up too tight! Never thought to check that seam allowance!It is amazing all the minor adjustments making such a big difference. Wow.
OMGoodness even looking at you in the muslin pattern I can see in my minds eye how gorgeous this is going to be! What a treasure it will be. 🧥👩🌾🪡🧵💙
Yep, menopausal bodies sure do change. As my husband asked, "Did you think it would stay the same?"
This is going to be a "happy" garment. You'll be looking fabulous!
I would love to see you do an interview with either TomKat Stitchery or TheClosetHistorian on flat patterning. I think your interviewing skills with their primary interests would be a phenomenal had stitching post, 45 to 60 minutes please. 😘
