Let’s sew the lining for our jackets today! This is going to seem very familiar, as we’ll construct the lining just like we did the jacket, minus the topstitching and hood zipper. So it’s going to be pretty easy to sew it all up! After this step is done, we’ll be very close to finishing […]
Today, we’ll sew a useful little hanging loop into our jacket lining. This jacket feature was suggested by Rachel of My Messings during pattern testing and I loved the idea! Especially if you’re coming in from the rain, it’s so handy to be able to hang up the wet jacket by a loop and let […]
Pockets today! I love these pockets. They’re inside, safe from the rain, and with the velcro closure, nothing’s going to fall out. Today we’ll sew on the interior patch pockets on our lining. You’ll need to have your two front lining pieces cut out at the very least, so we can sew on the patch […]

Today, you can pull up the gathering threads on your jackets! (When we get to that part in the sewing instructions, that is!) Today we’ll sew the collar to the jacket neckline, sew the underarm and sideseam, and topstitch the underarm seam. Note: If you’re wanting to put inseam pockets in your jacket, stop before […]
As requested, here’s a closer look at the Lonsdale Dress. We’ll take a look at the front knot, the back straps and see how the whole thing goes together. I’ve photographed this dress as best as I can, as the print is rather bright and distracting. I hope this helps clear up your questions! Let’s […]
