Introducing The Amazing Coat Sew-Along!
7:00 PM
I'm thrilled to announce The Amazing Coat Sew-Along!
- What is: A coat sew-along where you get to pick your own coat/jacket pattern... one that suits your style, taste, climate, etc... I'll help guide you on fabric choices, a shopping/supply list, and provide you with the standards of tailoring.
- Where is it: It has its own home at The Amazing Sew-Alongs. Hey, why just do one sew-along! This will be the first of a series.
- Who is it for: Beginners are more than welcome to join. But this is NOT a learn to sew. This moreso directed at intermediate to advanced sewers to inspired better sewing and the use of more advanced sewing techniques.
- Why: I feel that the Sewing Blogosphere is oversaturated with beginner-friendly nurturing. I decided to create a space that shows the intermediate to advance sewers some love! Those of use that have been sewing for years, enjoy learning a new trick or two as well!
- When is it: In the next days, I'll be posting a pattern suggestions, coat inspirations and a shopping list so that we can get to sewing by October 1!
I'm proud to announce that Coats & Clark is an official sponsor of The Amazing Coat Sew-Along!
You all know how I feel about coat making. So you know that I'm beyond excited to be sewing with you all. I hope you all feel free to join along!

ReplyDeleteThanks Karen!
DeleteYes! Can't wait....
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela!
DeleteI'm super excited. Admittedly I'm more of a beginner but I'm determined and will join in.
ReplyDeleteWe were all beginners at some point! Never too soon to get started!
DeleteThis could be the perfect motivation to make my coat(s). I look forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is! Thanks Sharon!
DeleteOhhh.... I LOVE this idea!!! I'm not a beginner at sewing in general, but tailoring a coat would be a whole new area to learn. Exciting!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Angela!
DeleteSuch a fantastic idea Erica. It's going to be great picking up tips and tricks from you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sewmanju!
DeleteSoooo looking forward to this!! Time to step my game up (aka stop being lazy and make some quality pieces). Thanks for guiding us!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating Divamazon!
DeleteYou are so right, the intermediates are surely neglected on the Internet. Tired to see variations on how to make an a-line skirt or sheath dress!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this, I may join in.
Variations of an a-line skirt made me laugh!!! Thanks Miss J!
DeleteBeen waiting for this. I Have my pattern already sorted. I thought i had my material sorted, but changed my mind about it, so on the hunt for a new one. Can't wait to get started. It will be my first time making a coat so i am really excited.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I hope I help make your first coat an enjoyable experience!
DeleteHi Erica,
ReplyDeleteHow do we find the amazing sew alongs page?
Very excited.I am embarking on making a man's suit, could this be worked along on this, as tailors call mens jackets "coats".....................I am keen to learn the perfect way of producing the various welt pockets, particularly the front welts which have a dart coming from the welt!!
That would be awesome too! Here's the link: http://www.amazingsewalongs.com/ Thanks Marysia!
DeleteOk so this is great! I get excited about sew alongs ALL.THE.TIME. This time I will add time to do this to my schedule. Officially excited lol
ReplyDeleteFabulous Adrienne! Thanks for participating!
DeleteSo excited!!! I'm thrilled you are helping those of us who are not beginner sewers to improve our skills. Exactly what I've been looking for for a long time. Great niche market!! Looking forward to more details. Thanks Erica.
ReplyDeleteJust trying to fill in that gap! ;-) Thanks Melinda!
DeleteFIESTA :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica!
DeleteSetting up my sewing room now.....this is going to be a great way to break it in. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of a new sewing room!
DeleteThis is great, cannot wait to get started. Thanks Erica
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining Sharon!
DeleteI'm in! It's still hot here, but I do have several coat patterns on my to-sew list for the fall.

It's still hot here too. But I'm sure Texas is like Alabama. It'll be 85, rain and the next day 35! Thanks Eryn!
DeleteThis is a great idea Erica! I can't agree more about the surfeit of beginner info online. I've made coats over the years, but not one in several years. In fact, I've got one planned for this year so I think that joining will work well for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for participating Nancy!
DeleteCan't wait - looking forward to this sew along and learning a few new tips and tricks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joen!
DeletePerfect timing....I have the pattern and fabric, but still need to buy the lining. Just need the motivation so this will get me on track.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Thanks for joining!
DeleteI'm uber excited to join. You have inspired me to sew a new winter coat. Can't wait to get started:)

ReplyDeleteGreat! I'll be fun. Thanks Carol!
DeleteYyeessss!!!! I already have a pattern and fabric. I will be ready!
ReplyDeleteGreat! Thanks for joining!
