Hey everyone! We hope you’re loving the Cordova Jacket pattern. By request, here’s what it looks like inside out. There’s a facing at the back, and at centre front. A pleat at centre back in the lining is there to allow for ease. (Picture reaching your arms forward, to give someone a hug. If there’s no […]
Happy Monday, everyone! We were lucky to have a sunny day last week, so I ran outside to take some photos of my finished Minoru Jacket. You already know all about the making of this jacket, from start to finish, so I won’t talk too much today and let the photos speak for themselves. Speaking […]
We’re almost finished the Minoru Sew-Along! Today’s the last post of sewing instructions. Today we’ll hem the jacket to finish it off. After the sewing is complete it’s a good idea to check for loose threads and trim them off, and give our garment a final press if the fabric requires. Then, hang it in […]
Today we’ll give our loose, baggy jackets a sleek, flattering silhouette! We’ll sew a casing for the elastic waistline, insert the elastic, and pull it tight until we’re happy with the fit. The jacket is nearly complete at this point, so it’s easy to fit the elastic and know how it will feel in the […]

The pattern instructions call for slipstitching, but we can even do that part by machine with a little trick. I’ll show you how to sew the lining into our jacket cuffs completely by machine! If […]

We’ll be sewing the lining into the jackets completely by machine, so it’s not particularly difficult, just time-consuming. There’s one step […]

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 […]
