Making a coat might feel like a big project, but these top tips videos contain advice from Lauren on all the little techniques that make a big difference to the finish of this project.
These videos don't replace the instructions that come with the pattern, but used alongside them you’ll learn how to make and sew your own bias binding confidently, how to shape it neatly around curves and how to adjust the pattern for colour blocking with the teddy fleece. Lauren also guides you through working with quilted fabric, pattern matching your pockets and adding professional details like snap fastenings.
By the end, not only will you have a beautiful coat to wear, but you’ll also have added a whole set of new skills to your sewing toolkit — techniques you can use again and again in future projects.
The three videos have over 100 minutes of footage, sectioned out with time stamps/chapters for easy reference and navigation.
Once you have placed your order, the video links will be included in your confirmation email. The video covers the sleeved versions of the jacket with either hood or collar.
The Wildwood Jacket and the Wildwood Collar & Hood Expansion pack PDF patterns are available from Helen's Closet's website. They can be printed using our A0 printing service.
