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 […]
Hello Sew-Alongers! Today we’ll put on our cuffs. We’ll be one step closer to finishing our jackets! I love these cuffs. They’re a little different than your standard elastic cuffs.

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 […]
I know, technically the zipper isn’t a secret. You all know it’s there! Nor is it a secret that there’s a hood in our collars, it’ll be a soft roll around your neck. Secret or not, it’s a very cool feature on this jacket. Today we’ll insert the zipper into the collar, so we can […]
Hey everyone! If you’re making View B, the hood-less jacket, you get the day off today! Today’s sew-along post is all about constructing the hood. Those of us who are making the hooded jacket will sew the hood, hem it and just like that our hoods will be ready to attach to our jackets. I’ll […]
Hello, Sew-Alongers! Today’s sewing step is quite easy. All we’re going to do is gather the neckline, in preparation for sewing it to the collar. I’ll demonstrate the gathering, give you some extra gathering tips and links, and suggest some gathering alternatives for the adventurous ones! Want to catch up on previous Sew-Along posts? Click […]
