In this video I make a start on two projects, with some fabric kindly given to me by the wonderful Humphries and Begg. I have admired their unusual designs for a long time on Instagram - I bought my Granddaughter Agnes one of their funky playsuits a few years back - so when they offered the chance to make something in their fabric, I was delighted to be chosen. If you’ve watched this channel for a while now, you will know that I am not very confident at making clothes - but I am having a lot of fun learning!
It really is the support from my lovely Patrons that allows me to keep the sofa cushions plump and the plates of cake and pots of tea plentiful on The Lime Green Sofa and so for that I am very grateful! You can join them there for the price of a coffee or a craft magazine and watch the content back to the start of 2019! Look in the feature 'Collections' to find what you are looking for!

TIPS from seamstress, since you asked! 1. Read the instructions all the way through before you start 2. Remember sewing a coat is just a series of small steps like anything else, take it one step at a time and you will do fabulous!☺

@chrisberry9017 3 месяца назад

Wise words! I designed a jacket at college, which my tutor chose to be part of my collection. It ended up having 72 individual parts! I must have wanted my head reading, but I did make it, and it was certainly worth all the effort.

@fenderskirt8 3 месяца назад

That's lovely advice.

@redparrot9489 3 месяца назад

Do a muslin of the coat for you. Cut it all out and baste sew it. Then you can see size issues and construction issues. Yes. Pain in the ASS to do a muslin and soooooo worth it. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Turning up the cuffs to see the lining will be fab, Kate!!!

@jjudy5869 3 месяца назад

Make the sleeves a little longer so the sleeve stays at your wrist with the turn up at the cuffs.

My husband's grandmother was a wonderful seamstress. She never followed a pattern...lol At 94 yrs young she made a wedding dress from a picture and it was beautiful! I love your ability to to go from one project to another. You are an incredible multi talented person😊

@Stettafire 2 месяца назад

My mum is also an excellent seamstress. She says older patterns are better. Modern patterns are confusing and she says most of the time it's just easier to sew without a pattern anyway. She used to sell clothes at the local market to make extra money. Excellent knitter too.

@ameliagfawkes512 3 месяца назад

I'm glad you chose the plain green as the outside. It changes things from "fun print" to "sophisticated".

@Stitcher_in_MD 3 месяца назад

How exciting to watch you make your coats! I am also planning to make a coat for this winter. So I’ll watch your progress and hear your suggestions before I start mine. You are so special. Thank you for sharing your sewing life with us!! (I’m in Maryland, USA) it’s a treat watching and learning from you!

@susanwarford4221 3 месяца назад

Kate, I love the green wool fabric and your choice of fabric for the lining. I don’t like to sew for myself either so I will be anxious to see what you think of the result. I used to sew for my daughter and everything turned out great. 👍 ❤

Oh Kate! You cannot accurately describe yourself as impatient!!! 🙄 Having watched you knit blankets, spin wool, piece and hand quilt many masterpieces ...you are one of the most patient people I know! 😃 Good luck with the coats ..love the fabrics!!❤

Hi Kate, I was watching your video earlier today and saw you were starting a jacket for yourself from Paper Cut patterns. My ears pricked up, my eyes got bigger, said to my husband, " look at that, Kate has a paper cut pattern." They are based in my home town , Nelson New Zealand. How exciting. Go well with the sewing Kate both for yrself and for Agnes. Am looking forward to seeing uou both in yr finished garments. Love the green wool fabric you chose to go with the chillis, will look totally stunning.

I am a scissor snob, so watching and hearing you cut that pattern was a bit of a challenge. (making fun of my self). Unable to sew anymore but that pattern looks like a jacket I would love. Also love the fabrics. I will enjoy the videos as you move along. 🥰

@nanigail395 3 месяца назад

You can do it, Kate❣️The fabrics/colors are so beautiful! I can remember sewing clothes years ago for me, my kids & grandkids…& I like the more simple, creative, not so perfectionist sewing of quilts now, too. 😉 Just “have a go at it”… they will be great❣️Maybe, on your jacket; have a turned up cuff on the sleeves of the print fabric & a pocket or pockets out of the print…🥰

Kate & Anna I can’t wait to see both coats. I will also attempt a try to making my first coat. You inspired me either way your first coat & I have been collecting all my favorite fabrics for it. I’m using an existing jacket 😊that I like the design & I’m going to follow that as my pattern. I’m in your club I don’t follow instructions. I just love your videos while I’m stitching. Thanks for making my day. Kate & Anna cheers to happy stitching. 💃🏻💕🧵🪡

@uzmazaidi8551 3 месяца назад

Hi Kate, I love watching your videos. Top - when you print out your pattern from Adobe, select the Layers option and this will enable you to just print out the size you require and not have any extra lines. This tip has definitely helped me in my sewing journey. Have a nice day. Uzma from Ipswich x

@KnitzyKitzy 3 месяца назад

Fabric from Brandon! How lucky are you?! I love PDF pattens too. Mostly because if I adjust the pattern and I don’t like it I can reprint. Makes me braver doing fitting adjustments.

@maryannwilliams-coultas3513 3 месяца назад

Kate…The fabrics are lovely and so cheery as well. I have made a few articles of clothing from patterns I printed myself. One used 55 sheets of paper. Yikes 😮 With all that work to put together and cutout I wanted them to be patterns that could be reused. Thus once I decided on the size I traced it onto tissue paper and used that for my pattern, leaving the original in tact for perhaps a future garment in a different size. You will live wearing what you’ve made and so will Agnes❤ Maryann

@lizadams7662 3 месяца назад

@Stitcher_in_MD 3 месяца назад

I agree with the lady that suggested you make the coat out of inexpensive fabric so that you can get the sizing correct before using the special fabric. Both my grandmothers were seamstresses and produced amazing garments. I’m blessed that I inherited their love of sewing, however, I didn’t inherit their talent. I watched as you made your housecoat and love it!! There is no doubt that you will successfully produce two lovely coats!! Bless you for sharing!

@kalico-k5449 3 месяца назад

I love their designs. I'm with you on the 'impatient' thing... love working pattern free, but when I'm teaching I have to do it properly!! Quilting is so much easier! Can't wait to see how these go... I know you'll have fun! Xxx

@charlenerichardson2623 3 месяца назад

Can’t wait to see them completed! I just made a red velvet coat with silk piping for my granddaughter. She’s 2.

@deeploam9140 3 месяца назад

I think these are going to be lovely. My tip would be to trace your pattern onto swiss tracing paper in your size. Swiss tracing paper is great because it behaves a bit like fabric; so you can tack it together, fit it and make adjustments, then cut your fabric from that. That preserves your printed paper version so you dont need to reprint if want to make it in another size. You will also know how the pieces go together before you sew. Thank you for your videos, they are really inspiring and its so nice to spend time with you in this way. Penny.

@lindaprice9242 3 месяца назад

@debrariley2057 3 месяца назад

You will be fine garment making, somewhere on the magic web there will be a sew along, or a review, for the jackets, I have always been a garment maker, for over 4 decades, and sewing blinds and curtains etc, I have always loved quilting, admired and went to various exhibitions, especially here in Wales we have a huge history of whole cloth quilts, I started EPP by accident about 5 months ago, and then stumbled on your channel which I have thoroughly enjoyed, good luck. !

@sharonjones5854 3 месяца назад

How exciting! I just purchased a pattern to try to make a dress for myself. (I haven't sewn clothes in over 30 years, so this will be a challenge too. I LOVE the green for your coat. I'll be thinking of you as I struggle with my pattern. Good for us! Sharon from New Mexico, USA.

@sharonvogel931 3 месяца назад

My number one tip is to press seams as you go in the suggested directions. The drape of the garment will come out much better.

@toviahcrowell6360 3 месяца назад

Kate I have some thoughts for you 1. For your coat; you could really make any custom length you want ,its not a hard adjustment on the pattern. 2. I think the gorgeous Humphries and Begg fabric for your coat would be lovely on the outside as a band on the bottom of the coat ( any size you want ) I'm thinking design wise maybe 6-10 inches. This fabric would also make beautiful cuffs on the sleeves, which you could just add at the end. 3. As you were doing the video I was looking at this plain green fabric you bought for the coat and It looks absolutely beautiful with the fabric pieces you have on the board right now. So that's something to think about for another project. 4. I like this hand embroidery you might be doing on the coat, it will be beautiful, and will show up so nicely on that green fabric. 4. ENJOY take your time and your probably a much better seamstress than you give yourself credit for. 😊❤😊❤

@babsl9245 2 месяца назад

I have made my granddaughter quite a few items of clothing from Puperita designs and they always come out great. I look forward to seeing your lovely coats when they are finished. Have fun.

@LindaMitchell-y2d 3 месяца назад

Hi, Kate. Not sure where you are in your project now, but I have made a lot of clothing (4 daughters needing dresses and such). You can make a practice coat from old sheets and such, just to become familiar with the pattern before cutting the good fabric. This also lets you know if you need to alter any of the pieces for a better fit for you. You can also copy the pattern onto tissue paper so that the original can be kept intact in case you need to alter something. Good luck. I know you can do this.😊

@gillian-clairepearman3125 3 месяца назад

If you line the coat with the printed fabric, when you try to put it on, and you're wearing a jumper or sweatshirt, you'll find it difficult to actually get on. That's why a shiny fabric is usually used to line jackets and coats.

@joannaszlugaj1142 2 месяца назад

You can use slippery/smooth fabric for sleeves only and cotton for the rest of the lining.

@lulucly 3 месяца назад

Dear Kate, careful you don't disappear into the lime green sofa. make sure you wear a different colour on the bottom. Wonderful material to have been sent to you. Can't wait to see the results of yours and Agnes' jackets. Love the Kaffe fabrics on your wall as well. It is currently 7 degrees here in Toowoomba, Queensland and I am trying to type but the fingers are not working properly. I have several sewing jobs to do today but thought I would "have a chat" with you before I contemplated braving the cold and going out to the studio. Take care.

You could put welt pockets on your jacket and use the bold fabric for the welt and you could have your cuffs turn up in the bold fabric. Just little shots of colour to break up the green. Have fun and don't rush

Welt pockets are lovely

@deniseorourke7235 3 месяца назад

@michellelovejoy7253 3 месяца назад

You can do it, Kate! Just take your time and sew one pattern at a time. Love to watch you assemble the jacket and coat. 😊😊😊😊 Tip: when I sew a new pattern, I made a muslin sample first, fit it to me as needed, then adjust the fabric pattern. Have fun 👍

@1wholovestrees 3 месяца назад

I’ll add a comment for you. When trimming off your pattern, before you do, use a colored pen or marker and trace the lines you need. Then cut on those lines. My favorite pattern company, Burda, used to be sold in a magazine and their patterns had different colored lines for the different sizes.

@KatZiser-ze2dr 3 месяца назад

@patstrawhouse4005 3 месяца назад

Hello, Kate! What a coincidence! I have just returned from a quilting retreat in Pennsylvania, where I purchased fabric-from a local quilt shop-for a Swing Coat. I’m going to quilt with a fusible fleece and make it reversible as well. As another subscriber suggested, It is important to take the time to make a muslin version. You really just need to mock up the basic shell in order to determine the appropriate size and length of the body and sleeves. I used to make my own blazers when I was in high school in the late 60s/early 70s. That was a long time ago, but I’m comfortable with the construction process. I’m looking forward to sharing the result when my friends and I get together for next year’s retreat. I am really looking forward to following your journey with your 2 coats. The fabrics are gorgeous and far more colourful than mine. I’ll be busy this summer with a fundraiser quilt for my local hospice and camping plans, so I won’t be able to start this project until after our Thanksgiving in October. As always, Thank you and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

@alison5072 3 месяца назад

Like you Kate I make things for myself and then end up either giving them away or even consigning them to the scrap pile. Good Luck with your make. I have my fingers crossed for you.

@fancypants6697 3 месяца назад

You could always use a bit of the lining fabric as cuff binding, or around the neck edge or collar. Just a thought.

@annehayward3506 3 месяца назад

@sheilasmidt427 3 месяца назад

Excellent projects Kate. My sewing hint is to be obsessive about pressing every seam you sew. I watch for everything you post and enjoy Eileen when she shows up. Until your next video, stay well. 16:02

@lizadams7662 3 месяца назад

I think quilters are very good at this, so I bet Kate will press unfailingly.

@kimkennedy7272 3 месяца назад

I have made two Nova coats, it is over sized but that is the beauty of it. As others have suggested make a muslin to see how you like the fit. I did find a sew along on You tube which helped but it maybe under the name Sapporo coat which was what the Nova used to be called. Happy sewing

@lindaclements6639 3 месяца назад

This is the number one tip I’ve seen from the seamstresses I’ve watched on RU-vid or asked in person. Always make a muslin. Especially when you have delicious fabric for your final piece. You work out all kinks and details in advance. I too am also trying to push more into garment making for myself & beloved family members. This encourages me to keep pressing on. Looking forward to seeing your gorgeous coats! 👏👏👏

@kimberlykleeman7726 3 месяца назад

@angiewarren6045 3 месяца назад

How exciting getting a personal package from Brandon Mably! 😃 Getting his scraps at that! I’m so jealous and happy for you! 😆 Your coats are going to be so cute! Looking forward to seeing them both done!

@catherinemontrose2102 3 месяца назад

OK, a tip that can be frustrating - make at least the outside of the adult coat first in muslin or scrap fabric, then you can check/adjust the sizing and adapt the pattern pieces to what worked in the muslin. Don't forget to allow for ease (extra inches) since you'll be wearing it over other garments, even maybe sweaters. Good luck!

@patriciavacilek3791 3 месяца назад

I’ve always had problems making clothing for myself. I’m not a standard sized or shaped person, so, therein lies my problem. Also, as we age, gravity tends to move our bust darts near our waistband (not a good look 🤣). I will follow with interest, as always, and cheer you on from the LGS. Agnes will be adorable in her new colorful coat.

@mariannecant4407 3 месяца назад

Hello Kate, I've made the Nova coat and jacket 4 times now and it looks complicated but it's not and all makes sense as you put it together. Just enjoy the process if you can, you always seem to 😍 It's just nerve wracking when you make a new design. It's a very roomy design but lovely and snuggly to wear. I use a cross body bag to keep mine closed 😊 If you opened your file in Adobe Acrobat, you could go to the layers tab, select the size you require, or sizes if you're grading between sizes. This makes it so much easier when cutting out. Another bonus of the PDF pattern x

@Denise11Schultz 3 месяца назад

Yes muslin is a great idea, and I thought, watch your grain lines for the cutting. Also if they don’t tell you where to use lengthwise grain, and where to use crosswise grain, you will have a chance to think that through, and maybe ask a garment-sewing friend. That wool is wonderful. If you are going to do some topstitching, and choosing the buttons, would you like to use a brighter green, (yellow, even to the color of your favorite mustard?) to make the wool look even richer? Looking forward to what you make. 🏄‍♂️🌱🍀✨

@marybeth4002 3 месяца назад

Kate, Of course you chose the beautiful bolt of green fabric - and I'm so glad you did. The colorful and creative lining will compliment it beautifully. Little Agnes is a fortunate and much loved granddaughter. Cheering for you from across the pond (Michigan) - we all know you can do it and I suspect you will enjoy every phase of it.

@jillystewart8567 2 месяца назад

Good to see you Kate..all the best with the jackets 😊..its a shame we have to pay now to get to see complete videos😢..as being on pension means my friends and i can no longer get to visit with you longer..

@pebblecritter 3 месяца назад

Ooooh, I’m so exited Kate! I started out as a seamstress and it’s a skill you never lose. My one tip would be to always cut the sleeves a bit longer than is stated - I find they tend to be too short (but it could be me with long arms!!!!!)🤣😂🤣 Also, start thinking about pockets from the very start - we all know how important they are! Final thought - since this is going to be solid on the outside, you can take some of that gorgeous inside fabric and add it do odd places on the outside of your jacket. I just made a jacket and I put a square of bright colours on the top back, and then took two strips (about 2" wide) and put them on the end of the sleeves - running up the sleeve - only about 4" (10cm) or so but adds a pop of colour in an unexpected place on your wrist! Can't wait to see this come to life - I'll have to check out their fabric! If you have any suggestions for great places for unusual fabric, I'd love it if you could share them!!! Thank you as always - now I'm excited to sew another jacket (always need them in Northumberland, don't we? Especially this "summer".... haha). Love to all, including cat Rita.xxx
