I'm a retired. Family & Consumer Sciences Teacher, 30 Years I'm so glad I found you on You Tube no I can have my former students follow you. I'm loving you show It's like a refresher course after making aprons, pillows and bags. Love you girl keep up the good work .
WOW❣️❣️your video is amazing.. I sew a little, simple things, because sewing pattern were so confusing for me.. so what I do is go to thrift stores buy a skirt or something and take apart and use it as a pattern..but after watching your videos and learning how patterns work i’m eager to go buy a pattern for a dress and try it. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos and instructions.👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️💕
This tutorial inspired me as well. I am a beginner when it comes to sewing garments, but I think by watching this video as I go along, I could probably do a decent job!
Using premade garments is an excellent way to start sewing! When doing simple skirts and dresses that way that's essentially what the pattern would be plus maybe a facing. Get patterns but definitely keep deconstructing too!
I really wanted to say thanks for the step by step directions. I did another pattern for a child's coat and was a little confused throughout. I also didn't realized how new this pattern was, but I accomplished and completed. Well I have to work on the buttons. I am very proud of myself. Thanks!
I love this jacket I won't be able to get it till our winter next year here in Australia, but will definitely be making it thank you so much your sew alongs are so easy to watch and understand, love Wendy
Hi @Dee-cg2fx I had the same issue and just made a fold so that it fitted in. 😊 I am on my number two jacket and are gonna make a third for my. I have made them all with a lining of two-sidet teddybear quilt. It was challenging at times😉 and the fabric is a thick camo. My adult son got the first one and he loves it now that the temperature is close to -15 celcius ❄️
Great job. I have this pattern, but was hesitant about making the jacket. After watching you wiz through this garment, I believe I can do this. I was especially concerned about the zippers. Again thank you.
Am so loving your tutorial on the making of the wonderful field jacket. Thank you! I do want the pattern but our Spotlight here in Malaysia is out of stock. Sigh…I would so want the pattern and to sew the jacket so badly.
Hi love love your sewing, just want to know, I have this pattern, would I be able to use lining fabric to line this jacket, if so do I cut all the lining same as the pattern, also I want to be able to quilt the jacket, is this the right pattern for me to use. Thanks again for your time, love watching all your videos. This is my first time trying this💓
@@marinelab I put a lining in mine I think I figured out how to do it LOL but I only put it in the back and in the chest not in the arms but I just cut out the same exact pieces for the front and back without the pockets and I just sewed them together alone with the tutorial and it came out great I use a similar fabric so I don't know how it would turn out with like a thicker or a different fabric
Hello - Love this jacket - I feel so inspired - could you please let us know the fabric source and interfacing used. I live in area with out good fabric stores and would love to be Able to order from Mood. Thanks Happy Holidays
wondering about a lining, only in hood, warm quilting lining, is this jacket for warmth or keeping warm rain out love the pattern I have very tall family and always needing a longer sleeves, longer coat
Would you please do a video showing us how to resize patterns for adults into clothes for kids and toddlers? I'd love to make the men's patterns you had up on Sew Sew Def for my son. He'll be 3 in March and I have so many ideas for him. I just need to make the patterns the right size.
Yes, just a regular sewing machine, they all do the same thing. Nearly all her stitches are straight stitches. I have a $40 Ikea sewing machine and I was able to make a similar coat (and I have very, very basic skills). I made a lot of mistakes but eventually got it right. I first did it on an old curtain I had for practice.
Hi All. I have a question?? I am at the collar/zipper stage. I am off by two inches. My neck is two inches bigger. I cannot figure out why. What i did to correct this, is I took two inches from the center back and all is well..... so far. I am just wondering if anybody had this issue????
My instructions/envelope did have the 12 in zipper but I feel it was too small. It never met the dots, not even close. Also, my collar was two inches smaller than the neck. Was I supposed to omit the placket from the front before cutting?
Hi I made this pattern for a male and I went by the measurements and it was so big on him.....is it just designed to be bigger or am I doing something wrong
You go by the finished garment size of their bust /chest size... I'm usually a XL but with this I was a M way off lol and it fits perfectly... and with in the pattern you may have to lengthen or shorten peices where it says so ❤❤

Love it! I will be making this! Thanks ml
You're a natural born teacher

I already purchased the pattern and my material. can't wait to start sewing it together and by the way I got camouflage for the coat!!
Love the fabric, the jacket is nice for those semi chilli days with a nice turtleneck sweater on. Nice Tutorial..
I used elastic because I like the permanent gather for my waistline instead of fussing with a tie. It works too. This was an easy coat I love it!
You make it look so easy!🤗
Love the Coat, Thanks for doing your sew alongs, they are very informative and very helpful. Love it.
I'm so glad you did this sew along, I would have skipped the underlap....lol Thank you Queen watching more I really need to join your sewing school...
I Love this coat! And this fabric is everything 😏 definitely getting this pattern 😚
I love this jacket I won't be able to get it till our winter next year here in Australia, but will definitely be making it thank you so much your sew alongs are so easy to watch and understand, love Wendy
This is a beautiful jacket and you make construction look so easy!
The best part about this pattern is there is no gathering of the sleeve. Great pattern.
Great jacket... love the ending shot of the finished garment 🧥
My Native Sister. Family. You are rocking the world. Blessings. Mother Earth thanks you
Hi @Dee-cg2fx
I had the same issue and just made a fold so that it fitted in. 😊

Love this so much! I just made coats for my kids so now it's gonna be my turn!
Love the fabric and how detailed you were with the instructions and I also just bought this pattern 😍😍😍😍😍
Great video, I actually bought this pattern today ❤ I'm thinking about adding elbow pads, lining maybe, a collar stand if there's not one already.
Great job. I have this pattern, but was hesitant about making the jacket. After watching you wiz through this garment, I believe I can do this. I was especially concerned about the zippers. Again thank you.
Thank you for all of the beautiful and clear visuals.
Beautiful fabric, color & jacket 👏
Loved this tutorial Mimi! Very detailed and simple! Thanks so much 💜✨
Luv it. I love the fabric and color too...😍

Love the coat and the fabric.
GREAT TUTORIAL!!! I will definitely be buying this jacket! Thanks so much. Blessings.
Thank you MIMI!!! I'm just learning and I love your videos!
I need this pattern!! Omg love the fabric!! I’d love to get something similar but all black! Yes I’m boring lol
Yelitza Rodriguez I’m thinking black too and no black is not boring! You have a classic style 😊
Maybe you can put yellow ribbon, like if you were makong the opposite of this...😊
Love your tutorials. This is one I will work my way up to. I really like this Jacket.
Very nice coat and a great sew along video!
Do you use a stay stitch on the sleeve caps? For me, stitching on sleeve caps help guide the sleeve shape around the arm holes.
Ok Mimi very simple to do, I will be making a black one & the hood linings black & white plaid ✂️🧵💕
Mimi, I love the nail
I love the hood
What fabric did you use and where did you get it? Really nice!
I really like it
Mimi...Much love to you.. I enjoyed this video too. I'm going to make it as well. You taught it so clearly.....Peace.
LOVE this pattern!!! Great Job

Great video! Make it look so simple!
Absolutely stunning Thank you 🇦🇺
Merci tres bien expliqué
I like this pattern but I think I'll put a lining in mine.
I want to line it too, I jus need to figure how.
@@marinelab I put a lining in mine I think I figured out how to do it LOL but I only put it in the back and in the chest not in the arms but I just cut out the same exact pieces for the front and back without the pockets and I just sewed them together alone with the tutorial and it came out great I use a similar fabric so I don't know how it would turn out with like a thicker or a different fabric
I love love love the pattern and that fabulous fabric. Where did you get it?
You made that look sooo easy!!
Hello - Love this jacket - I feel so inspired - could you please let us know the fabric source and interfacing used. I live in area with out good fabric stores and would love to be Able to order from Mood. Thanks Happy Holidays
mas que maravilha de aula! adorei
The jacket is beautiful
You can slow the video down in your settings, also her IG has more pics.
I think I can do this. Excellent instructions
Love this vidio
Mimi what fabric did you use?
Excellent video !!!
Thank you for this tutorial, it was excellent!
Learned alot on this one
Great job, love it!!
Seriously!!!! This is pretty thorough.... I'm contemplating this🤔
Beautiful!
wondering about a lining, only in hood, warm quilting lining, is this jacket for warmth or keeping warm rain out

Would you please do a video showing us how to resize patterns for adults into clothes for kids and toddlers? I'd love to make the men's patterns you had up on Sew Sew Def for my son. He'll be 3 in March and I have so many ideas for him. I just need to make the patterns the right size.
Her online school has a children’s garment section.
Those nails tho! (Ok....back to the video)😁
Very good. I am going to make this
Hallo from Germany😃
Mimi....what fabric is that?😍
I know I'm late to this party, but I'd like to know what fabric you used to create the coat in this tutorial.
Very nice job - could you let us know the fabric source and item number ? Also where can I find how you did your marking ?
You can find another CZcams video that shows you how to mark or sign up for her online sewing school.
Use a fabric marking pen or marker. They either wash off or fade naturally. I think in the description there were links to beginner videos
Lovely!
Wow great! So are you using a regular sewing machine for this?
Thanks
Yes, just a regular sewing machine, they all do the same thing. Nearly all her stitches are straight stitches. I have a $40 Ikea sewing machine and I was able to make a similar coat (and I have very, very basic skills). I made a lot of mistakes but eventually got it right.

Where did you purchase the fabric?? Absolutely beautiful!!!
Oak fabrics. But they are out of this color until Jan. 11. They do have the other 2 colors in stock and will send you a swatch for free.
Can you tell me what type of fabric she used for this jacket. Thank you
What kind of fabric is she using?
Excellent
Hie Mimi G. Luuuuurv your sew alongs. What type of sewing machine did you use in the video?
Awesome!!!!
Hi All. I have a question?? I am at the collar/zipper stage. I am off by two inches. My neck is two inches bigger. I cannot figure out why.
What i did to correct this, is I took two inches from the center back and all is well..... so far.
I am just wondering if anybody had this issue????
Yes 😁👍
@@judywatson2859 you did? Both my front pieces were cut the same. I think one side should have been minus the placket. The dotted line.
The only thing I don't like about patterns is that the seams are usually just pressed open. Give me finished seams lol
She serged the edges.. And it's always the maker's choice on how to finish the seams, patterns just give suggestions 🤷🏾♀️
Hello, I'm not finding the pant sew-along. Am I missing it?
It’s not up yet
@@stonecrestquilt thanks!
The pattern instructions/envelope omit a mention of the 12" zipper: two trips to the haberdashery store. Please amend for future printing.
My instructions/envelope did have the 12 in zipper but I feel it was too small. It never met the dots, not even close. Also, my collar was two inches smaller than the neck. Was I supposed to omit the placket from the front before cutting?
Will you sew a dope of skims lounge wear
is A and B the same jacket B is just longer ?
Yes
Could you possibly do a sew along tutorial for simplicity 2341 please
I’m guessing she is making the male version fastening?I’ll continue to watch
❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤
Does anyone know what types of Fabric she used?? Im a newbie at this 😅
Hi I made this pattern for a male and I went by the measurements and it was so big on him.....is it just designed to be bigger or am I doing something wrong

Say hi to Mama
HELP. how much was the seam allowance on the center back?????
A G commercial patterns always allow 5/8” seam allowance unless otherwise noted.
Added S9052 to my 'urgent next to sew' : UNTS ! ~ L
That fabric is everything But that Color is life!! Mustard yellow looks good against my skin. But you imma have hell tryna find that color😒
Disappointed that this pattern doesn't come in women's plus sizes
All you have to do is grade pattern up to your size
