You must have had a really good system for organizing everyhting. I'm getting frustrated with my current set up just because I can't have absolutely everything out at all times. Is it sad that I'm contemplating setting up my sewing space first when I move in May, then finding room for all of my other stuff (aka desk, dresser, BED) around my ideal sewing set-up?minne-sew-tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663261544346112723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215758472972771551.post-25445423609008725802013-02-26T10:10:48.932-06:002013-02-26T10:10:48.932-06:00When I started sewing, I pulled it all out and the...When I started sewing, I pulled it all out and then put it away, every time.

I know there are at least two different sewing/quilting shops in town that I'm sure would know of a person to help me, even if it's just an as-needed sort of thing.<br /><br />The main video I'm talking about was extremely thorough and showed the assembly of a fully lined jacket from (nearly) beginning to end. Here's the link, mostly the basics with a few nice tips thrown in, especially in regards to the lining.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jAySD4nzBYminne-sew-tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663261544346112723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215758472972771551.post-23260693669993868332013-02-10T06:01:04.954-06:002013-02-10T06:01:04.954-06:00Matthew,
I'm so impressed by your ambitions. ...Matthew, <br />I'm so impressed by your ambitions. You sound like a jump-right-in-and-learn-by-doing kind of person, whereas I'm deliberate and big on preparation and correct technique. But both kinds can learn to tailor jackets. I've made several tailored jackets for myself (see my work on Reader's Closet, http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/5860/1941-misses-mannish-jacket-2-of-3 ) but the sportcoat I started for my husband in 2004 remains unfinished. It's a daunting project for me, but this year I'll finish it, with the assistance of a sewing teacher. I do want to be accomplished at menswear. <br />Your tackling these projects by yourself reminded me of how I yearned to sew from the beautiful vintage patterns I'd begun to collect about 12 years ago. And then ten years ago I met my dream sewing teacher, and we've done great work together. As you progress, think about investing in a sewing teacher if you possibly can. There's only so much you can learn from illustrations or videos. I was frustrated for years and I don't want that for you. I'll be following your chronicle. Good luck!Paulanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215758472972771551.post-590281877600501772013-02-06T09:27:19.437-06:002013-02-06T09:27:19.437-06:00Thank you for your wonderful support. I certainly ...Thank you for your wonderful support. I certainly plan on getting R. Cabrera's book as I have heard it referenced on multiple sites through my searching and research for this project. I'll have to wait until next Wed. (payday) to pick it up, and until then, I'm going to use my current enthusiasm to make a pattern using David Page Coffin's method on youtube and copying a suit coat that I already own.<br /><br />Also, after publishing my post I remembered a nice little tidbit that made me feel a bit less crazy. After I started thinking about doing my own jacket as my first project, the thought crossed my mind to MAKE my own pinstripe fabric (so that I could have the fabric and pinstripe color of my choice). That bounced around for a bit, but I pulled back into a more reasonable goal of getting a decent jacket of any sort put together first.<br /><br />Thanks also for being the first person to comment on my blog. In fact, as far as I can tell, you're the first human being other than myself to view this blog. I can't tell you how much of a high I got when I saw "1 New Comment". I think I woke my room mates when I screamed, but it's fully daylight now, so hopefully they'll understand.<br /><br />Matthew<br />minne-sew-tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663261544346112723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215758472972771551.post-53428019024455784752013-02-06T07:08:49.665-06:002013-02-06T07:08:49.665-06:00Good morning.

You will want to invest in Roberto Cabrera's book Classical Tailoring Techniques for Menswear. He will guide you through the process step by step. Be prepared to do a lot of hand sewing, which I personally find very relaxing. I made a linen jacket for my niece's wedding two years ago. You will find it in the archive at Mainelydadswintercoat.blogspot.com. I look forward to following you in this journey.
