Oh my, these look fantastic! The pink one is absolutely stunning!

That fabric is GORGEOUS💖

That pink kimono is stunning! You did a great job on both of these, I'd love to have them in my wardrobe!!

Omg!! The tweed fabric is gorgeous!! I love it. Looks fab on you. Xxx

Jackets are beautiful, and the pink fabric is amazing!!!

Awesome Mel. Love the pink tweed, the plaid I nice too. Very versatile pattern. Thanks for sharing. Val🇨🇦🇬🇧❤️

Hi Mel, stunning jackets and I think they are both great in their own right 💝. It's always great to see the same pattern in two different fabrics 👌. I imagine that it's a great pattern for beginners if the right fabric was used....and if they don't sew after a night out 😉. Really enjoyed this video Mel and thanks again for sharing your lovely makes 😁😘

Beautiful jackets! Love that pink tweed! Pink is my favorite too! You're so funny! "Don't sew with a hangover"! Love it🤣❤

They are both beautiful! The plaid is my favorite!

OMG love that pink tweed! 👍

Very pretty! I love the fabric with the tiny sequins! Just lovely!

I am now in love with tweed it's beautiful looks stunning on you

I love both kimonos. Actually if grey one gets rip off sleeves pieces will be gorgeous jacket. Thank you so much 👏👏👏

💖💖💖 that pink tweed is gorgeous that kimono turned out beautiful. The 2nd one looks like it would be perfect with jeans.

I really love the jackets, what a nice makes! Well done and great fabric choices

Beautiful jackets.I love the pink fabric,it's so unusual and could be worn with anything.I also liked the plaid and your fabric matching was brilliant

These are both just beautiful! 😍

Great pink tweed fabric!!!

I just ordered the pink tweed. Love it.

Love both versions, the pink is my favorite.

Beautiful jackets 😍

That is just so dreamy. I can’t even.

I have this pattern and it's been hard trying to decide what fabric to use. Linen has been popular but I wanted something a little warmer for the fall/winter. Thank you for showing two options that are perfect for the Fall! Love your channel!

Love both your Wikstens Mel! I bought this pattern (printed version) but haven't gotten around to making it up. I bought a few kimono style jacket patterns (the Nenuphar by Deer & Doe is one I did make up and I will definitely be making more of them!) The Wiksten fell off my radar but I keep thinking about it! When I got the notification of your video on the Wiksten I was excited to see what you did with it - they are both gorgeous but that pink by Telio was divine. I have all sorts of fabrics that I think would suit this pattern - like you say it's very versatile and can be adjusted to work with all seasons depending on the fabric you use. You don't really have to line it either - you could just hong kong seam the seams :)

Very nice. I can't wait to see your reversible jacket. Please film some of the construction, I'd love to see how that is done.

Lovely two versions of this love them both! TFS. Christine

Living the pink tweed

Love the plaid one

Thanks Mel. Sorry for stalking you... 😂 sometimes I miss IG notifications so I wanted to make sure you knew how good your advice was 😆 I may give the kimono a go-go 😜

Love both jackets!!! Can you make a video on your favorite pinafore dresses? Thanks.

Oh beautiful coats, this is now very tempting.... with the wool one - how did you change the instructions to provide it with a proper hem? Thanks again for all your wonderful blogs.

I love that pattern, it looks like the perfect jacket for fall/winter. What led you to this pattern? I've seen a few sew over it kimonos but they seem very summery, I love pockets too of course!

I just found the winsten pattern yesterday and haven't gotten it. Can a closure besides a tie be added?

Gorgeous jackets-Is the one a boucle`??

Did you interface the collar as the pattern suggests? I’ve talked to someone who said she preferred not to interface it because she wanted as much drape as possible.

Lovely 😊 can I ask what the sizing is like please?

Lovely jackets. You didn’t say where you bought your plaid fabric? 100 per cent wool is hard to find.

Hello! I know this is a late comment but how did you wash the tweed fabric prior to sewing? Dry cleaning? Thanks

I am a bit late seeing this but I’m sure glad I did! I LOVE THIS KIMONO (and the pink tweed is still available so I will be buying soon)! I notice the pattern has 3 length options. Which did you use for the pink version?? I hope it’s not to late to get a response😩
