    Beautiful jackets and great tutorial! I'd forgotten about the flatlock hem capability of my serger and will have to try that soon. One thing that helps me line up zippers is to make a mark on each side of the zipper to match with a seam (or plaid) so that when the zipper is closed (after basting), everything matches up the first time.

    Great tips for reusing and fitting sleeves. As for pocket, I've taken pockets off before, and if you scratch over line of stitching, then give it a shot of steam if can make them look alot less visible and in some cases take them away all together. Keep up your vids there great and very educational. Thank you.
