Both variations are really cute! And stitching the interfacing and flipping it is like 🤯. I'm totally going to use that.

That jacket!!!!!! 😍 It reminds me very much of traditional Japanese sewing techniques, especially with the quilted belt. Something similar would have been worn as a utilitarian everyday outfit to work in, indigo/navy color with white quilting top stitching for beauty and reinforcement (sashiko). Lately kimono style clothing and sleeves has been appreciated in fashion, but I’m even more excited by these other details!
@PatternScout

thanks so much for watching and for the history info! This style is definitely inspired by Japanese styles (the shape is so classic and great for easy sewing while still being just a beautiful shape). I love the sashiko techniques I have seen, although I have yet to try it in a more traditional sense. :)
Oh I really love the finished results, and the tutorial is excellent. I'm just about to tackle a modification of a wrap top, so this is useful. Thank you. PS. I don't do French seams to start with as I know I'm usually going to have to alter something somewhere so the bodice is a great place to start. Thanks for making everything so clear.

Excellent video! I really enjoyed watching how you construct your seams and how precise you were. It really, truly shows in the finishes garment. I have l those skills, or rather know the techniques (oops the facing was new -- superb btw!) but fir sis reason it was really enjoyable watching you execute the blouse. I am subscribing and actually been wanting to do skill share, I will take your slower class fir sure if I can. Oh and I can’t agree with you more about end,was possibilities! It’s really empowering I think. My creative mind is pretty quirky and I love doing the unexpected in everything I make, nothing too crazy, but doing something unique. Because I can haha. I love your top, the one in the intro, btw! You are really pretty and you seem to have a great command of what looks good on you, I’m impressed.

Can't say enough about the interfacing tip! I'm a little (ok, a lot) nervous about drafting my own pattern for this. I'd buy yours right away if you chose to make one.
Omg just found your channel 💗💗💗🧵and I'm so inspired to sew again! I'm not much of seamstress, crochet is my go to but I have made a couple of leotards for my daughter on just a basic sewing machine. Please can you share how you adapted the pattern for the gorgeous jacket! I would like to make both. I'm curvy but very petite so being able to make my own clothes with be a game changer x
Amei 💕
wow, love the top you have on in this video, I make all my own shift and pinafore dresses as I have broken crooked back and have to custom make my clothes to accommodate my back , lucky I can sew and have done lots of my own sewing for many years, my mother taught me how to sew when I was 12 years old and I persevered reading the patterns several times till I worked them out. the reason that I make my dresses is I could never get the right colour that I liked or the right style, or the shop had sold out of my size all the time. Since I broke my back, I had to cut my dresses with sleeves into pinafore dresses because the sleeves no longer looked right, so I stick to tee shirts under the pinafore dresses, which I can get to fit my shoulders and back better, I might try your wrap top could be another option for me, and your interfacing trick is fantastic, !

Hi, I know this is a bit late in the game. I mean it's only been three years since you published this one. Then again: if I don't ask, I for sure won't get an answer. My question is about the re blouse/top you're wearing while presenting this video. Is there a video of how you made it? I tried to figure it out on by myself, but met with failure. It's a model of blouse I've been looking for, but my medical issues only get me from laying on my bed a couple of hours per day, so any shortcuts to finding a pattern and watching someone sew it would be very much appreciated. By the way, that wrap top in red is so nice (I can't stand my face in any green because it's make make me looking ill, but yours look nice, lovely and soft), and I never thought of making a blouse in a color that can be a bit overwhelming on me as a dress, but I do love. Your blouse here looks a bit like a Haori, and I have been looking find someone that gives "instructions" on how to put something like that together (outside of Japan). With my lower time for for making, being able to find someone to show me the way, is invaluable. It also means that I'll be a perpetual newbie I'm also unable to write succinctly as you can see. Yours, Ann
