The Icon coatalong starts MONDAY! I wanted to squeeze in a quick little week of Icon stuff before Thanksgiving and the bustle of the holidays hits. You are welcome to sew up a Sign up for my newsletter for a release day discount code!
For the sewalong, I am going to go into more detail on the two trickiest techniques in this pattern: welt pockets and a bagged lining. I will also give you an alternate method of finishing the hem if you are having trouble with the bagged lining. The first post will go up Monday, all about picking fabric and materials! I will also share some inspiration with a few of the coats I have sewn for myself!
I forgot to mention here that the ICON paper patterns are in! I made a little promo video that I shared on instagram.
See you soon for some Icon inspiration!
I can’t wait to see the ICON Coatalong!!!
Wish I could join!(surgery yesterday….all this time at home and I can’t sew… darn!)
The coat is absolutely my style and my daughters!.
Hope you heal quick!
Ahhhhh! Sometimes the heavens just part and everything lines up and you’re like oh, there’s the sign. I’ve been admiring this coat since it came out, realized a few days ago I have no winter coat (I’m Texan, they aren’t always necessary here) and have been wanting to try and make some clothing for myself. Enter: sewalong! But I have a question if you wouldn’t mind. I love sewing but almost all of my sewing has been done quilting along with some random crafty things here and there. So I know the basics, but have never dived into something like this. Do you think it’s something I could do?? I love this and a sewalong is the perfect excuse…OPPORTUNITY…to get into it!
Hi Ashley! I believe in everyone, so I think you could do it! The two trickiest parts are the bagged lining and welt pockets. I went over them both today and yesterday and I will also feature an alternative hem method soon.
Coat aren’t necessarily hard, but they do take a little more time. Go for it! :)
