  What kind of fabric is that and where did you get it? I love it.

  The jacket looks absolutely fabulous. It looks both chic and … tough, in an odd kind of way. I like it. The choice of fabric is gorgeous.

  Oh, I just love this jacket and material! Your video on lining a jacket was incredibly helfpul. It’s one thing to read about it and quite another to watch how to do it. Thank you, thank you.

  The instructional video for creating and inserting a jacket lining was great. It helped me to put a lot of things in place, much better, in my mind that relates to many, many sewing books’ instructions that I have read. This is a great way to teach sewing on-line.

  Is it possible that videos could be created, if it has not been done, and made available that provides instructions on: Fitting the pattern; Making and USING a muslin (i.e., how to transfer the changes and markings to the self fabric); and, how to insert a to the edge lining (i.e., a lining without the self front and back facings). This instruction too would include how to cut the lining out without the named facings.

  Now, the really biggie that I would like to see in a video presented by you is making a Chanel jacket with the quilted lining, and lining to the edge!

  Please know that this video ‘hooked’ me on your site, and it is one that I will constantly refer to for not only fashion inspiration but guidance for garment construction.

  Thank you so much for providing this information to your audience.

  I’m getting ready to sew up my own Steffi jacket and just wanted a clarification on the seam allowance. The pattern pieces say 5/8" and the instructions say 1/2". I realize that I could be fine choosing either, but what would you recommend? Thanks!

  Thank you, I must admit, I got some help with the button holes, I am not very good with them, so I went to a store in the garment district here in New York. However, my machine (a very old Privileg, will get a new one soon hopefully) hast got that function, but since this jacket was part of marketing at DLD (check out www.video.dld-conference.com Monday, 3 pm), I decided it has to look perfect.

  I like how it turned out. Especially impressed by the buttonholes. Are they made on a special buttonhole machine or on household one? If on a household machine, on which one?

  Looks fab! And I love the Burdastyle tag, too! Is that a woven label or is it an iron-on to a ribbon (like my lofi labels!)?
