i made a shacket with a free pattern… and i kinda love it ✨ 

Hello Jenna, what a fun video! I adore your fearless approach. I'm actually the one who drafted this shacket pattern for Mood. I've collaborated with Mood on over 300 free patterns and still counting! Here are a few observations that might be helpful: [] The pattern is made for a woven fabric - your fabric was stretchy and bouncy, but you still made it work! I would suggest staystitching the neckline and curved hem edges to keep the shape. [] The front ends of the hem facing are meant to tuck under the button placket, so you will want to do the hem before you finish the placket. Don't feel bad - they didn't catch that in the Mood blog post either. ;) If desired, the hem facing can be omitted and you can just do a plain seam. [] I think you were right to skip the French seams - too bulky! [] I'm kicking myself for not including side-seam pockets, but it should be easy enough to add them by borrowing a pocket from another pattern, if desired. >>> Your final result looks really nice and cozy!

I'm planning my next sewing project (VERY much a beginner) so this video series is super inspiring! keep up the awesome work goiiiirl!

These free pattern videos are soso helpful!! Also that flower top…. Is so Jenna, I love it

Tip for opening button holes from my sewing teacher. Place a pin across the edge that you are cutting towards. The quick-unpick can't cut through the pin so you'll not rip through the fabric😊

I love the way you not only admit your mistakes, but go the extra mile to correct it and make it right. That’s how you learn…you don’t make the same mistake twice. You are adorable. 🥰♥️

Hopefully the fabric doesn’t shrink a second time! You have such a nice sense of construction. Love your clothes.

This is on my 2022 sewing list! I enjoyed watching you make it!

Woow 🥺 I love to sew and I am a beginner. I searched for months to find free dress patterns to download and I found it in this video. Now I can make my own beautiful dresses. Thank you sooo much Jenna 🥺❤

A good tip for adding sleeves, waistbands, etc. is the snip a little notch in the seam allowance and line them up with top of sleeve and the armhole. Hope this helps!

The outcome was worth it. it’s beautiful.

I think you had this extra space at the bottom facing because you decided on using the serger instead of the french seam method which was likely accounted for in the pattern. The french seam generally takes up another inch or so which is exactly the extra space you had!

Im always crocheting while i watch youre videooooos

Thanks for sharing your process, including the mistakes that we've all made! The finished shacket looks beautiful.

Yessss Finally a new sewing video :)))

9:00 yes Jenna, I’m loving that sleeve 😂😍 I’m so in love with the final look!

You did a great job Jenna, it's really cute & looks comfy. Luv your great personality & enthusiasm, and your darling fur baby. Hi from Texas.😁

I would love a video on beginners/30 min projects!! Love the video💗

Watching you create is so therapeutic

This is definitely the kind of thing I'd make! I just did a project with button holes for the first time, terrifying then so satisfying!!

that is the most perfect thing i have seen😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵

You are so adorable and enjoyable to watch thank you for sharing with us Jenna!

Oh my, this is so beautiful 😍😭 I love your videos so much, you gave me a lot of inspiration and also I love your personality, you’re so fun to watch!! Sending lots of love all the way from slovenia 🥰🥰

I found thi pattern a few days ago and really wanted to do it but was nervous after watching this i think im going to make it Lol

Hi Jenna, here is a little tip when using a seam ripper to cut button holes. Put a pin in the end of button hole then seam ripper will only go that far and not rip any further. xxx PS Penelope has done a good job on the button holes.

I am just starting out with sewing trough a online course and watching your videos makes me so excited to learn more! ❤

Great looking jacket.

i love your content jenna i really enjoyy crocheting while watching you you are really great keep up the amazing content

Nice job. You are definitely improving your sewing skills. Congrats on the cute jacket.

You uploaded this as I was cutting out my fabric for this pattern and I am SO HAPPY I can watch it being sewn first, great timing haha thank you!!

When you named the first two sewing machines Barbara and Judy I instantly thought of A Star is born and expected you to name the third one after Lady Gaga lol

Watching It looks so nice it’s gonna look so nice because you work so hard for what you do you got your party every single day when you do something to help me from feeling proud of yourself every single day 24/

I came here from Facebook, what a lovely painting ❤

You are too cute and funny and very talented. Love watching your thrift hauls and sewing.

Awesome shacket

Beautiful jacket, looks great on you.

I’ve been thinking about making one of these for in between seasons so this is the perfect video!!!

She is beautiful!!!

Hai friend

The reason why your hem facings were too short is that they are not supposed to go all the way to the edge of the front opening. They are supposed to end tucked inside the front button placket. So when you sewed the front button plackets as your first step, you should leave the bottom few inches open. Then tuck the end of the hem facing into that placket and then sew the last few inches of placket down. This will reduce the bulk in the front center corners.

That is a beautiful shacket!

In general it is so cool, that you try the patterns

I love the shacket. I super enjoy your sewing videos. You are awesome!

She is beautiful!!! Totally want todo this!!! You did a great job!!

GOOOOD JOB WOOOOOW. It’s so BEAUTIFUL

This outro is so cute

Thank you for the video! Finally attempted it and it’s turned out great

You are so talent ...it turned out beautiful 👍 always love watching ur videos

Beautiful Jenna, 🥰

Agh you were one away from naming all of your sewing machines after my three aunts on my dads side, in birth order, who were Barbara, Judy, and Susan!

The ultimate trick of lining up serged seams(works best with serged seams), is to let the edges 'hug'. 1. Hold the two layers in your hand 2. fold the edge near to you to the left, fold the edge away from you to the right 3. Now a little 'edge' emerges because of the fold, both in opposite direction 4. press slightly both sides against eachother until you kinda feel the edges push aganst eachother. 5. pin it and just sew it with a few stitches with your sewing machine. 6. Pin the rest of your sleeve/whatever(I use this trick on lycra, works like a charm even with high stretch fabrics) 7. serge the rest of the hem.

I have that same green black and decker iron 😜

Turned out pretty cute 💖🙊

Well done Jenna!

I literally thought Penelope and then you said Penelope and now I think I’m psychic

Brilliant looks amazing!❤️

Jenna! id love to see more knitting videos, ive gotten really into knitting but idk what to make haha, id also love to see u knit a cardigan i think you would make it so fancy smanchy!! Love u

I love that you named your machines. Mine are Little Nikki, Pearl, Rosie and Sergio (the serger). My mannequin is named Betsy! Love your videos. I'm planning panties this weekend thanks to you!

Omg can you please make a blanket hoodie ??? Those are so cutee !!

Super cute! Loved this vid.

I just binged watched about 6 of your videos and I enjoy your personality ! Lol. I wish I could sew but I can’t! You should sew me one and send it to the US for me lol!

Pro tip: sew the shoulders together then the top of the sleeve , then sew the arm all the way down threw the arm pit , past the arm pit seam and down to to the bottom of the jacket the side from wrist to hip.also hem the bottom, then the fron so your doubled hem faces downward 😉

love watching your videos and recreating the things!!

It looks great! I want to make one for myself!

So beautiful. It helps to get the collar to lay down, if the underside is slightly' 'smaller' than the top piece. smaller the short way, especially. Sometimes you even get two patterns. Especially for heavy fabrics. If that right side corner continues to stick up, you might consider picking away your sewing and re sew it by checking the curve, and then sewing it on, maybe by hand. Does that make any sense? lol

54 yo grandma here. I really enjoy watching your videos Jenna

So, I want to make this jacket too, but the sizes really confuse me, which size did you use? I‘m scared it‘s gonna turn out way too big lol

You are as creative with names as I am 😂 your mannequin is Manni and my port is Porter 🤣 Love the outcome of this project 😍

Nice shacket. I think the original pattern of the bottom trim is not wrong. You added a small piece to it, so it would fit over the whole length of the bottom. But the inseams of the two front parts are supposed to go full length from neckline to bottom and the bottom trim has to go under it. So the trim can be a little shorter (the width of the inseam minus 1 cm). Alternatively, but not often done with jackets, you can cut the bottom trim full width of the jacket and stich it 45 degrees angled to the front inseam.

I love it omg

The part where you though you're almost done then saw a part where you sewed something upside down. Relate much 😂

Girl! U r smokin!!!😁😀😌

LOVE this!

Te quedó muy hermoso Jenna, pero los ojales se hacen en horizontal (el aparato para hacer ojales lo indica en la punta que va con el borde de la tela) y el cierre de las mangas te quedó al revés, tiene que ir de adelante hacia atrás. De todas maneras, felicitaciones y me encantan tus vídeos!!! Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱♥️👏

Hi Jenna, I’m so happy to have found a free pattern for the Shacket! I have a question: does it have pockets for your hands?

you can use a razor blade to cut in the button holes rather than a seam ripper

Fabricana -- love it! It's called Fabricville here in Quebec 😅

love the green jumper you're wearing in the begining! did you knit it yourself? looks simmilar to the one from that course from demestika

🚨🚨Sewing tip 🚨🚨 when you seam rip button holes put a pin at the end horizontal so that way you don’t over rip the hole! It stops the seam ripper

Muchas gracias 🎉❤ desde Argentina

Sewing seems like magic to me. How. Do. You. Do. That?

Please do another crochet balaclava tutorial!!

Omg!! Yessssss!

U are amazing.

For the hem facing, it looks like you’re supposed to sew it to the bottom of the front facing first, and fold the front edge with the hem facing attached to it inside out, then sew the hem and the the bottom of the facing in one continuous stitching. That probably didn’t make sense. Sorry! It’s hard to explain in words…

Love this shaket Jenna but oh my days isn’t is life sucking when you have to undo and redo the work!😖 well done it looks fab

The projects I did in sixth form, last year of high school, for my art class i named Barbara and Penelope...

Have you seen the trillium ensemble from mood fabrics? I have been dying to make it for almost a year I think, just need the motivation hahaha. But it is so freaking cute and I'll think you will like it a lot!! xx

What size did you choose for your shacket? I just can’t decide between two

If the fabric bunches up like that the stitch length might be too small for the thickness of the fabric

I named my sewing machine dexter
