I love your method for making the jacket. Your creative stitching is awesome. So sorry that you lost Norma. I just loved her. I also love how Rita has stepped up to fill in for her. I agree with the idea of patchwork and reversible lining. That's a genius idea ❤❤. Whatever you decide, it's going to be beautiful because anything you make is beautiful. There needs to be more people like you, Kate. You're a beautiful and amazing person. Love you much. Enjoy your journey with your jacket. Thank you for sharing and God bless you. 😊❤❤
I love the patches and stitching you are adding! The more the merrier is my philosophy so, keep stitching!

Hi, Kate. I just discovered your channel today and started watching. I also subscribed. I watched the video about Norma, and shed some tears. I had a tabby cat named Toby, who lived for almost 21 years. And a black cat, named Lucky, who lived almost 20 years. I miss them very much, but now we have Lily, who walked up in our yard a few years ago, as a tiny kitten and stole my heart. She was covered with fleas and had runny eyes. We fed her and gave her flea baths before we took her to the vet for her shots and check-up. She is asleep in my lap right now. She is adorable and I hope she lives a long time too. Thanks for sharing Norma's story and how special she was. She lives on in your heart. I will be watching your videos-there are alot of them. I know I will enjoy them. I sure enjoyed your trip to the candle factory. Pam Miller in USA-Alabama
Thank you Pam - these cats steal into our hearts don't they! I miss Norma every day.
welcome to the channel! xxxx take your place on the Lime Green Sofa - I'm passing down some snacks for you all xxx
Love seeing this delightful project and Lovely Rita as well. 💜
LOVE your jacket and ABSOLUTELY fabulous ideas from others, esp the idea of a reversal jacket. What a GREAT way to ENJOY Lindsay's fabric. Anxiously waiting to see the end result. CARRY ON! ❤
I love how your denim jacket has turned out. Congratulations !
,I like your organic outlook on so many things.
I love all the hand stitching. You are very talented and doing a marvelous job.
I envy and am inspired by the freedom of your brain!! Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts!!🌺🌺🌺
I love the stitches you've done so far. It really adds to your jacket. Very nice. Can't wait to see it done. Such great ideas.
Good morning Kate .. you are such an inspiration to me .. I have sewed all my life .. I owe that to my grandmother . Like you I have always something on the go😊 can’t wait to start a boro jacket yours is coming along nicely..
Thank you for all your projects to watch and your time.. Bernie x
you are very welcome Bernadette! xxx
Wow wonderful fabrics, so much fun. Thanks for sharing with us.
Coming along nicely! Great fabric, Great ideas!
I am so enjoying watching your program. Love your homey manner and your kitties.
This is a great idea! I’ve always loved the idea of making art out of our clothing, I’ve been working on a denim jacket I picked up at a yard sale. I’ve been embroidering it in a few places, and I have some ideas for altering it and adding some patches. Some years ago I had an elderly neighbor who inspired me when she used her long coat as a canvas, and began wearing this beautifully painted coat everywhere. She told me she had run out of canvases and happened to see her coat hanging nearby, and voila, art. What a zest for life she had. I will continue to watch with interest as you work on your jacket.
Fascinating. I like the idea of reversible jacket and using the fabric from your friend Linsey.
I'm enjoying stitching your pattern for the patchwork dog and watching your videos. Love your work Kate!
thank you xxx
Envious of your unlimited patience, skill and talent Kate! My to-be jacket is still in 'jeans' form - one day ... ♥
love the stiching
j
I love your approach. They way you play with fabrics have really inspired me. :)
Darling Rita is a beautiful cat she looking and listening to you i can not wait to see that jacket all the pretty blues gorgeous material
Thanks Kate!!! Your video today is so inspirational, thanks again for sharing with us!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
That sweater and denim apron is such a smart color combo. Nice visit. Happy stitching…
Another fantastic project. Thank you.❤️
Can’t wait to see other videos on this jacket!!! Looks like a bunch of fun!!!
It will be so much fun to see how your jacket develops. Thank you for sharing your design process.
Love love love all your stitching on your jacket.. So pretty.. A reversible jacket would be lovely.. I so love your lifestyle and your kindness to animals .. Your gentleness with life and seeing the beauty in everything.. You are an inspiration to me
thank you Cindy xxx
Great way of doing this! Saves drawing out squares first. Thanks for very nice videos.
I love watching your progress and your thought process on this fun project.
Rita is the most beautiful cat.
Dear Kate,
I recently found your channel. Kudos for your warmth, charm and inspiration. I appreciate your process of wonder and exploration, as I have a similar way. I love your kitties and just found out that Norma passed away. I’m sorry for the loss of your sweet one. She finally got her wings! Little angel wings. I do love CatRita and how she has stepped in for Norma.
Love the Sashiko stitching!!!
I love everything you have added to your jacket. I think you add until you think it is finished. You will know I think.
It's going to be beautiful both sides you will be able to reverse it. It's become a labour of love. The hand stitching is addictive .
It will be beautiful. Keep the sleeves as is. That is part of the design you were aiming for. And I think some embroidery or stitching on each piece will be necessary now that you’ve started. Not necessarily heavy but a bit. We all love RITA,
Good day to you Ms. Kate. Exciting to see ur new videos and very excited about this project...i love boro. Learning myself. Have an amazing rest of your day ...Greetings from Texas, USA 🤠🤗
so glad to see an update on this project!
Thank you very much! Greetings from Germany
I love your jacket. I really like the little stars that you have done. It really brought the jacket to life. I enjoy your videos so much.
thank you Dixie! xxx
A traditional hanten is padded, which is why the sleeves seem big. We lived in Japan in the 1980s, and I brought my hanten back to the US because I loved it so much. It kept me so warm inside in the winter. I redid the padding once (the original cotton didn’t hold up to washing over the years), but eventually the outer fabric wore away. This has inspired me to make one, now that we have retired to a old stone farmhouse in NW Spain; a hanten will be perfect in the winter!
So creative. Wonderful.
I totally agree about all the information others have shared....and LOVE your inspiration for all things creative. I love your podcast. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! xxx
Really lovely video. Thank you very much. Lots of ideas percolating now!!😁👌
I think you need to do what makes you happy. Sounds like you like the stitching best. Me too. Keep doing that. Best wishes and happy stitching.
awww - thank you so much - that is a perfect comment! xxx
Kate, your boro stitching is just beautiful. I have read that same book and I'm very inspired to make a table runner. Your jacket is an inspiration too!
I am really enjoying seeing your process with & progress on this gorgeous jacket! You're giving me all sorts of ideas to think about, thanks so much! 💞
Jacket will be lovely. Can't wait yo see the reverse side. Lovely Rita the cat. Scratch Sadie for me. Hugs
That is going to be a beautiful jacket! I will definitely enjoy following you on this journey! ❤️❤️
LOVE your fabrics- wow- so beautiful fabrics in blue color of denim- YES
What beautiful markings Rita has x
Thanks, I enjoy your company very much x
Great idea Kate love your work Debbie from Australia 🇦🇺
Beautiful, love the sashiko patterns that you are using in conjunction with the patterns of fabric
I’ve only recently found your channel, and don’t often comment (being an introvert!), but just wanted to say how very inspiring you are and how much I’ve been loving your videos. I’ve been a quilter for many years now and enjoy doing cross-stitch, simple knitting and gardening too - I gift the things I make to friends and family as I’ve always been dubious that anyone would be willing to pay for a handmade quilt once priced to account for the materials and my time. Quilting cotton is expensive! I’ve just gotten hold of some free (yes free!) Liberty fabric so will be starting on an EPP quilt. So thank you for the inspiration!
I love what you do kate. I have quilted for years. But had to teach myself and i do ok but i am learning and getting great jdeas from you. Tha k yoy so nuch. Barb May
I have spent this entire day watching the videos you have made..It is cold here so I really need to get some hot tea and work on my own projects.. be blessed!
I couldn’t help thinking all through watching the 2 videos that making it reversible would be perfect! I ordered the book. It arrives tomorrow. I was planning on making a coat with my dads ties and shirts…he recently passed…so I will be sewing along with you on this 🥰🇨🇦. Thank you for being such an inspiration. 💖
Lovely Kate jacket will be gorgeous
A mini Hanten jacket for Agnes made out if those Liberty strips would be very cute. 🙂
Best idea ever!
@@stephconley3598 yes I totally agree fabulous idea
love that idea
I so agree!
Old x-ray sheets make ideal templates.. looking great Kate.😊
ooh - I wouldn't mid getting my hands on a couple of them! xxx
I can't wait to see the final project!!!!
Love Rita! Keep up the good work!
So much denim shows through the stitching I vote for covering it patterns.
Love your progress. I did a stitching jacket project with mostly, my surface designed fabrics. I stitched on it the first winter of the pandemic.
Kate, all of your design ideas are fantastic - the fabrics, stitching, and construction. I love seeing how the process is evolving.
This is just my opinion, but I would keep the sleeves the size they are at present. I think that if you start narrowing them, the garment will be out of proportion.
Cannot wait to see how it turns out! I hope you can make it reversible so those lovely fabrics can be seen by all! Best to you!
Ooooohhhhh reversible. YES. That way you can display the beautiful lining fabrics too. Wearable art. Love it.
I’m waiting in anticipation for your next video on the denim jacket. Thank you for sharing! 💐
Oooohhh you are a dangerous woman Kate!! I am practically vibrating with excitement over this jacket and embellishments! I have a cupboard full of fabrics, so I am pretty sure I’ll find something that will suit. Oh lord!
well - I can only apologise! ha ha! enjoy getting into those fabrics! what are you saving them for??? xxx
This Rita loves your denim jacket project...and of course Rita is lovely.
thank you - my daughter in law is Rita too! good name!!
Miss Norma! Rita is taking over lol. She is beautiful as well! May God continue to bless you and your family!!
I miss Norma so much - Rita is lovely but she isn't patient like Norma was - a cat in a million! xxx
It looks amazing. Like the idea of the lining with the indigo fabrics.
Rita is so beautiful! Maybe she was a quilter in another life!
You’re doing wonderful design work! As other people have commented, I agree that, yes, the more stitching you do, the prettier.
As a long-time art-to-wear maker and longer-time garment maker, in case no one has yet suggested this, please be sure to machine stay-stitch all edges of your pieces (lining, too). It’s especially important on curves and bias edges. And with denim being very prone to fraying, and you’re doing a lot of handling of the pieces while handstitching, it’s best to stay-stitch every raw edge.
As for the width of the sleeves, that’s a conundrum for sure. What’s popping in my head right now is that they should be narrower, but not by much. To help lessen the bulk of the sleeves, I suggest you line them with “real” lining fabric. You want sleeve lining to be slippery to prevent bunching when you move and bend your arms. I suggest a slippery polyester lining fabric.
I also wonder if adding fold-back (sashiko deco-stitched) cuffs to the sleeve ends. Having that additional weight at the ends of the sleeves could be either a wonderful thing or a horrible thing-darn it, another conundrum 😅.
You’re inspiring me to nudge my English setter off my lap so I can go mess around in my sewing room❣️❣️❣️
Love time spent with you. I have loads of jeans from kids and hubby and would love to do this with them. You have inspired me. Thank you 😊
Love the jacket I love the sleeves.
That's so interesting Kate and I love the look of this jacket!
So much information and inspiration! Thank you.
I'm loving this project. Last year I bought a pattern to make a jeans jacket out of old jeans. Watching your videos have inspired me to start mine. I am also enjoying the 'journey',and although mine will be quite different to yours I keep rewatching the videos as I sew. Thank you.
Looking forward to watching this come together......how beautiful to see a grandma & grand daughter jacket each perhaps? 😉💙
others have suggested this - I think its a great idea! watch this space! xxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse 🥰
Dear Kate, you give extra meaning to my favorite saying “Waste not, want not” 😊 You are the BEST!!! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story on this day! Quite nice!
I have learned so much from you and so enjoy it all
Lovely project.
You my dear lady are an inspiration!! I get excited about doing some of your projects. Then you start another one. Love to watch you. But so far I haven’t made any of your. Ideas. I’m very happy to watch you. Thanks so much. Xoxo.
What a beautiful labor of love🙂
Just gorgeous!
Hi Kate, I was watching your new idea n I’m saying “oh that could easily be reversible, you would just need to bind it like a quilt. I’m loving what your doing 👏👏👏👏👏
Like the reversible idea very much😊
Beautiful work - I think the stars are my favourite😊
The Indian fabrics are going to make a lovely lining/reverse ✨
Yes! Thank you! xxx I loved how the stars turned out xxx
