    Sewing my first tailored coat was such a rewarding process, and I learned so much! What have you been making recently? Let me know in the comments 😊⬇

      The Sunbacked lining is a gorgeous piece of fabric because of its dual usage. First, the slippery side eases the coat on and off, secondly, the flannel side cuts the wind from hitting your skin. Love it! Where did you buy the tailor's clapper? Did the pleat in the lining come in the instructions OR was that your idea?

    I agree about the hem. And leaving it open at the bottom and tacked down is a good option. Beautiful job on this coat. So pretty. And the color is great.

    • @MadeByMelm

      Thank you very much! Yes, if I make this pattern again I will definitely think twice about how I finish the hem! Thanks for watching 😊

    I’m just making this coat and I agree with you about the pattern instructions. I’m at the stage of bagging out the lining, so I shall take on board your suggestion of leaving the lining free. I’m making this at my sewing class, and couldn’t have achieved it without my wonderful sewing teacher 😊

    Thanks Mel, I loved the video and have ordered the pattern and lining as I have the wool mix fabric already to go. Really helpful hints and as I have made a Chanel style jacket prior to this which hand sews the lining in at the sleeves and hem, think that will be a better way to do it as you mentioned bagging out left you not liking the hem finish - which I agree with. I will however, be watching this again as I sew and I loved your coat finish. Thanks.

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad you liked it! I definitely think hand-sewing the lining is a good way to go! Goodluck on your coat! :)

    Very nice coat!
    I just finished mine and found your tutorial very helpful because as you stated, their photos are ridiculous! I found it very difficult to follow the instructions because they used lining and fabric that were nearly the same dark blue. And I also don’t like the fact that they don’t offer the option to print your one size. The company is outdated in their approach to pattern printing and illustration and I won’t buy from them again until they update their approach. That being said, I do like the coat and I’ll make another.
    Thank you!

    Hi Mel, just found you because I am 3/4 way through sewing my first wool lined coat (Love Notions Octave ) and trying to decide how best to finish the hem as it's a very bulky wool and I don't think the bagging out instructions are going to look nice. Your brilliant review has encouraged me to stop, do some finishing and grading and explore some handsewing finishes. We are now in spring in Sydney, Australia but the mornings are still cool enough to wear a coat if I slowly persist. I am now a new subscriber for you.

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  ปีที่แล้ว

      Ooh I'm so glad this was helpful! Goodluck with all the finishings of your coat, sounds like you are so close to being done! I'd love to visit Australia one day. Thanks for subscribing! 😊

    I really like your coat! The fabric is beautiful! I am struggling with hemming McCalls 8438. The hem is driving me crazy. I think , like you I will hem the lining separately. I really need to take a class on lining. thank you for sharing.

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I need a class on lining too! I would agree, save yourself the headache and hem separately or hand-sew the hem in :) Goodluck!

    Beautiful I have to see how you did the turn in the sleeve and the whole coat. Thank you

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! So essentially you leave an open hole in the lining of your sleeve, and use this opening to turn the coat right side out. It took me a lot of time and care, since you will have to pull a lot of bulk through a small opening.

    Great job. I think the hem buckled because the lining length isn’t long enough thus pulling on the coat

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! Yes I agree, the length must be a bit off!

  • @rosemaryhannah3467

    I've just found your channel and found this video really helpful. I've never made a coat either though have four planned, one of them being a Tessuti. I thought your review of making the Oslo was really useful as it was so detailed. I have got into the habit of making notes of my experience of making a garment so that I can refer to them when I reuse the pattern. I've not been so keen on coats that only have one button but you seemed to have found it cosy enough even in cold weather. Are you in Canada? Our winters in the UK are cold but I believe Canadian winters are considerably colder. It's often very windy here so a coat with one button may not always be ideal. How do you find the Oslo in this regard and compared to RTW coats you have?

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Rosemary, thanks for your comment! I think keeping track of your experiences sewing each pattern is a great idea - I try to do something similar but often forget. Yes I am in Canada - This coat is definitely plenty warm for most winter weather with the wool and the kasha warm lining as well. I would probably choose my parka on the coldest days as my parka is more windproof etc. I find my Oslo coat is much heavier (physically, in weight) compared to RTW coats with similar warmth. If I wanted more warmth and low weight, I would probably line with Thinsulate :) hope this helps!

  • @connielorenz8329
    @connielorenz8329 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Did you find the sizing accurate and I’d you do a toile prior to cutting your precious wool? Great tutorial.

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I found the fit fairly large on me. I measure at between a size 6/8 - however I usually wear a medium (or US 6/8/UK 10 or 12) so it didn't feel natural for me to sew the smallest size in a size range. I cut a 10 and it ended up oversized. I think if you went based on the size chart and your body measurements, it would fit better. Next time I would definitely sew a 6 or 8. I hope this helps!

    Hi Mel! Really nice coat! I am considering making my own coat and yours is an inspiration. By the way, what is the podcast you refer to at the beginning of the video?

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for such a nice comment! The podcast is called "Love to Sew" and it's my favourite podcast for sure! Goodluck on your coat project!

    Fabulous coat you look amazing. May I ask did you use a walking foot.

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much! I believe I used a non-stick foot. I have found my walking foot gets caught on the boiled wool fabric and is more work than help.

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! I used weft interfacing, I either buy it from Blackbird fabrics or Cleaner's supply (similar to Wawak which is available in the USA)

    hii, how many meters of fabric needed for a coat of this size ? appreciate ur reply .. thanks alot

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi there! I believe I needed 3.5 metres of main fabric and a similar amount of lining fabric, and at least a few metres of interfacing as well. It really depends on your body size, and it never hurts to buy extra in case you make a mistake. Happy sewing!

  • @sewingroom8625

    HOW MANY YARDS WILL I NEED TO MAKE THIS COAT AND THE LINING AND WHAT TYPED THIS WILL BE MY FIRST COAT, THANK YOU.

    • @MadeByMelm
      @MadeByMelm  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Here is a link to the coat pattern I used: www.tessuti-shop.com/products/oslo-coat-pattern . The amount of fabric will depend on the size you make, so I suggest referring to the size chart. I made a size 10 so my size called for 2.5 meter main, 1.65 meter lining, and 1.3 meter interfacing. There are some suggestions for which types of fabric on the pattern page: I used boiled wool main, and a kasha lining, and weft interfacing. Hope this helps! 😊
