- I fell in love with @NadyaSeredina’s viral Instagram video in which she mashes a deconstructed sweater onto a blazer. I had to play around a LOT to figure out how she did it! It’s a fun and interesting process and I LOVE the finished product! Let me show you how!

Wow! Thanks so much for all of the super sweet comments on this video. I must say, I have the NICEST subscribers! 🥰😍😘
One reason this was an awesome video is because you shared your entire process of trying to “figure it out”, while you were filming & everyone got to witness & hear your excellent “problem solving strategies”!! Which was exciting to experience - that alone was a major breakthrough for many people to see & hear!! I loved the entire video!! Your jacket looks amazing!!! You’re sure to get stopped & asked about it many times👍👍👏👏🤗!!!
It looks good on you Catherine. Such dedication with all your squiggly bits! Such patience too. A jacket fit for a sewing Queen. Well done! 🥰
Thanks, QA! I love wearing it!
Nice job. As an embroidered, I would use a light weight wash away stabilizer topper to hold down the threads for sewing. It will help prevent the threads from moving and clogging your machine. Then when you are finished, you wash away the stabilizer!
The jacket looks great Catherine! You are amazing at trouble shooting. Your students are lucky to have access to your instruction!!!
You are so creative and it's a joy watching you work things out. Love it.
Awww, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy watching my videos! I always appreciate your comments. 🥰
Well.....That is a work of ART, Catherine. You'll receive many complimentary accolades when out and about. Sure gives me ideas 💃💃 Thank you!
Love your projects. Perhaps using a free motion quilting foot for adding the tendrils on the sleeves.
Very very impressed....i often redo the clothes I buy to add more interest and fit. Glad to see this video . Thank you for taking time. I have a fluffy jacket with snaps on the sleeve that are too big but it has many angle seams. Haven't fixed it yet - not sure what to do! Wish we could share with pics with community of sewers to get suggestions. Take care and Thanks for showing this. Great!
Well done, Catherine! I always enjoy your videos. Or both old-school seamstresses. What an inspiration! Now you have me looking at jackets and sweaters and a new way! Thank you for all you do.♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for the time spent breaking down the process, troubleshooting along the way, your gentle spirit, and patience. You are a great teacher and you’ve given me confidence that I can tackle projects like this one.
I thought I was gonna hate that mash-up, but turned out that I absolutely love it! May be my favorite up-cycle you’ve done yet!
WOW! Catherine, it turned out Fantastic!! It was so interesting watching you figure out how to make the tendrils. Enjoy wearing this one of a kind piece Art!
Thanks so much, Heidi! It was fun to make and I love wearing it!
@catherinesews Love the jacket paired with your sashiko jeans!!
Wow wow! You sure made an original jacket for yourself. The colours look great together and it is so cute with jeans. Its not something I will ever do but, I loved watching your process and the way your brain works at figuring out problems.
I bought this Ranvoo lint remover for my mom 2 months ago through your channel and I can say there is nothing better! She really likes how she can easily give the sweaters and curtains in our home a new look! You did a good job,thank you🤩😄
So great an idea! Love the upcoming idea. More of these please
That looks like a fun project. I've seen mash ups like that on denim but the jacket was a cool twist.
Wow! Fantastic! It takes patience of which you showed so much. Thank you for showing us how to do that in a much simpler way than she did. Especially like the squiggly bits coming out of the pocket.
I had pinned that as well…excited to see you were doing it so I can learn from you! Looks great on you, thanks for sharing ❤
It looks gorgeous, looks like its been paint dipped - I want one now lols
Watching you figure out how to make the tendrils work was so interesting! It's an amazing look. Love it!
Love the end result! The leather elbow patches are a great addition to the finished piece.
It turned out a lot better than I thought it would. It looks good on you. It is original.
I absolutely love it. I would wear the heck out of that if I had it. But definitely no way would I have the patience to make it. Maybe one day when the kids are older I'll have that kind of time for a project. I don't hand sew anything. If it requires hand sewing I just don't
Great video! 😄I think all ladies would love nice clothes haha, I was always sad that my clothes pilled after a year of wear, ☹until I saw the lint remover in your video. I bought it for Christmas about a month ago. I really like this. 😍It makes a lot of my pilling clothes look like new again. This will be my most satisfying home appliance❤
I also don’t use a thimble much, but I was working this week on some quilting and managed to push the eye end of the needle into my finger, and it didn’t really want to come out. Ouch! And it’s not like I don’t have ten thimbles from various dead relatives to choose from 😂. I picked one out for the remainder of the project. Lesson learned! I would have also harvested the yarn from the discarded parts of the cardigan and used a crewel needle to make chain stitches for the tendrils, but your method worked, so it all ended up great!
I love it, love it, love it! ❤ So creative. I admire your adventurous spirit combined with skill in creating one-of-a-kind products.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely love this! Also, thanks very much for the tip of using a firm plastic inside the sleeves to facilitate hand stitching!
You could use a pop/soda bottle 😊
Wow, it looks great! I wish I had a basic black jacket, I would use my lavender sweater.
Good job Catherine.
Catherine YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!!! I love your new creation. It looks amazing. I am so happy for you ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
When you started this project I thought you had lost your senses but boy what a nice "swazer". Very cool
Haha, swazer, I love it!
Absolutely stunning. I want one, before my Winter starts here is South Africa. I'm going to do my utmost to do one for myself.
The blue and grey go so well together, and the add-ons just make it a zhoosh jacket.
Although it's not my style I just love how you analyzed the project and how you made it your thing. I love that you enjoyed the process and how much you love the outcome. It looks really punk and interesting on you. Wear it with pride!
Wow I am amazed! As always, you figured it out! The squiggly bits remind me of lupins growing in a field. I love the bits growing in the pocket too. I am glad that you replaced the elbow patches, though I might have just left them off. You have a lot more patience than I do. Great video!!
WOW! I’m speechless😶. You are so creative and have such great ability to translate ideas into something concrete. Very impressive.
Wow, thank you!
Wow, it turned out great! I was so anxious for you to post this video after you teased us about it last week. You did not disappoint. Thank you for sharing it. Awesome! ❤
That looks like it was very challenging. Great job on it!
Very cute. The pocket detail is perfect.
Yes it’s totally perfect
Nice addition to your list of tutorials!
I like it! And you did a fine job explaining!
I've got three blazers
to experiment on!
After I finish stereo covers and several welders caps!
Oh I just thought of something!
You can make the caps for the Automotive department at school!
Peace ✌️

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
How fabulous! Wear this with pride and a smile.😊
Great job Catherine 👏👏👏👍😃
Good Job, you are so brave. Thanks for sharing your journey. 🙂
Love love love this
That was interesting. You did a great job!
You r brilliant! Seeing something we like and find interesting is easy. Figuring out the steps to achieve it is fantastic. I love it. That blue cardigan looked beautiful before u made it amazing. TY for bringing us through ur efforts and thoughts.
Wow! That is amazing! I am a knitter and am still scratching my head! I think you nailed it though! I do love hand stitching (and ripping), so I understand the relaxed feeling it offers. Another great project! Thank you! 😊
What a fun project! It reminds me of winter icesicles!
Great piece, well done. 👏👏
Wow! Now we all want a jacket like this! Definitely worth the hand sewing. You did an amazing job of recreating this.
You did such a great job. It looks very cool.
Oh, that was fantastic Catherine! Very creative. Well done. Mx
Great idea! LOVE your interpretation!!! I MIGHT try this myself. . . it's such a timeless, artsy look!!! As a knitter, I MAY try to knit the parts myself. AND I think I have a jacket!!! Love your stuff!!! Pacing is great, video is great, showing your process and thinking is great!!
Nadya’s cardigan was a loose stitch. Yours turned out great.
I’m always amazed at your creativity and execution of your projects! I would love to be able to create like you. Thank you for your videos. I have learned many tips and work arounds from you.
I like my blazers longer. I have one that I never wear, because I don't like the cut. I will try this, but as long as I'm adding the sweater I can lengthen the whole look! Fabulous idea.
Very cool. Kind of downtown-meets-casual look! Well done!
This is awesome totally awesome and being Canadian you find a lot of boiled wool sweaters at the thrift store boiled wall gives kind of the same comfort as your cardigan jacket and you know probably some of that would be available maybe use wool on the boil wool or jacket on the boiled interesting
WOW! 😮 That looks amazing!
This is so cute. I hadn't seen the original jacket until your video. I love the way you made this.
Wow, Catherine! That is an amazing accomplishment! You saw it; you figured it out, and you did it! No small feat! You should be really proud of this garment. So happy you love it! It's really nice. Thanks for sharing this with us.😊
It looks great on you. So much work but so original. Great tutorial
It looks FABULOUS, Catherine! Great job!
Really love that look too. It's just fun!!! Great idea!
I think you did a great job and it looks wonderful. I related to getting excited to do something before I thought it through. I salute your fearless spirit.
Wow! That's amazing 👏
Creative. The blue yarn looks good with the gray jacket. I think your jacket looks very good on you.
You have the patience of a saint. Very nicely done. ❤
Great job! I love it!!!
Stunning! Love this piece
It's adorable !!! You did such an amazing job !!!
When you started I thought I wouldn’t like the finished result but it’s lovely!
I love it Catherine! Your hard work paid off😀
WOW!!! ❤ I absolutely love this. The bit in the pocket is perfect. Love all your videos. 😊
Your jacket is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your process! Like you, I love it ❤
Thank you so much for breaking down all the steps to come up with such a wonderful and unique jacket. The coolest video I watched for a long time. 🥳🥳
OUTSTANDING!!!
I love this! It looks so cool!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT ❤❤❤❤❤!!! You did a fabulous job, making it so much easier for anyone who wants to make one, which I do!
I need to watch this again. What you did was sooooo amazing! I can't believe how much careful care you put into this project!!! Your problem-solving was epic! I really like that blue with the jacket, too. Congratulations on this super-cool project!!!!
Wow! I love it! I feel the need for a jacket like this in my life. You did a great job again Catherine. Xxx
Lotsa fun! Looks great!
Love how you always figure it out!
As always your videos are fun and inspirational. This one was over the top! I can’t wait to make one too! It would be a fun way to “treasure” one of those old sweaters from a loved one. And great option to take old sweater, apply to new (or repurposed) fabric, …..apply the flamed effect on flat surface by machine, and then finish construction of a jacket. ❤
Yes!! I love the direction you're taking this!
It looks amazing!
Excellent video -- loved the process!! I think I recall at the beginning you mentioned the friend knitted her own sweater? This gives her control of the yarn and where she wants to have the long tendrils without having to clip into the knit. This however, shows how clever you are and created something even more original -- KUDOS!!
I love love love your jacket! I saw an upcycle on Pinterest doing the same idea and have also been obsessed. I have been looking for a men’s jacket and a chunky wool sweater at thrift stores but haven’t found anything yet. Plus I couldn’t figure out how to make it work but now I know! Thank you.
Wow, great job!❤️❤️❤️
Just found this and it's awesome! Thankyou so much.....can't wait to try it out and I have just the items to use. It's beautiful!
What a unique idea!! I think my little nieces would love a swing coat with these details. Thank you for sharing & posting!
I love it. The blue is beautiful!
Absolutely fabulous...I love it!!!
Love this!
Very funky and cool! Love it . Very creative.
So cool and creative!!! I’d love more ideas like this!
The pocket detail really makes this look professional. Lovely project.
Love it!👏👏👏
I'm a novice sewer, at best, but I'm learning a lot and gaining confidence from watching you! I enjoy your willing approach to tackling each snafu in your projects. I'm encouraged!
