This is a true masterpiece, im starting a project for school and I really wanted to make a nice hardshell jacket. This video is going to help me with so many problems. Thankyou and keep up the great work!
Hello! Im glad i found your video im gonna make some hardshell jackets for my school project! One question could you do a quick tutorial on how you saw the zippers, for the pocket especially it seems extremely quick.. great video!
Please take a look at my other videos, where I explained it a bit: ruclips.net/video/9qO0KE8sh8Y/видео.html or here: ruclips.net/video/rlb6N6Ox5O4/видео.html or here: ruclips.net/video/ocyxKFB7jjI/видео.html It is always the same: Line the zipper if needed, sew in the cover stripes on each end, sew in the zipper assembly into place.
Thank you for sharing your whole process! Contemplating doing this myself some day, so Can i ask you, how much sewing experience did you have prior to this? How long did the jacket last/ does it still hold up? Since it wasn’t easy for you getting the right material are there any alternatives you thought of? And lastly what type tape did you seal the seams with? Thanks in advance!
I am a hobby tailor, so no professional. But I sew since 30 years, so I have some experience. Generally, I think this material is not too hard to handle, as it is not elastic and therefore easy to sew. But you have to cut your parts precisely. The jacket is still in use, but as a raincoat for cycling not used too often. The sealing tape is PU-based. I got it from the same supplier as the fabric: Sympatex. There are some shops out there that sell such fabric, one I know of in Germany is www.extremtextil.de/.
Thank you! I use a Juki needletransport machine DLN-5410N-7 lockstitch, a Juki MO 2414 Overlock and a Siruba F007K Flatlock, which really annoys me, so I will change it to a Juki at some stage.
It is just because it is much easier and has a cleaner look with multiple panels, because of the zipper attaching. I do not like fiddling in a zipper in one single panel.
I made them on my own ;-) ruclips.net/video/t7P00usHjh0/видео.html What do you mean with "put and nice fabric for the neck area"? The whole thing is 2-layer and turned over at the end. Therefore, the Sympatex is 2-layer at the neck.
I do all the tailoring myself, with Valentina. There is a fork named Seamly2d, that one is also Open Source and freely available. The pattern construction is done by me, it is fun with that program.
I've been working on a goretx parka for a few years now (off and on), my struggle is getting skipped stitches. Did you experience any of this? Is so, what was your fix.
Nope, I have a Juki needletransport industrial machine. This machine just works perfect on any fabric. You could try another needle to get rid of this. What machine are you sewing with?
@@jeff.3.2.12 The Rocketeer seems to be a good and nice looking machine ;-) We also have a Pfaff 561 needle transport machine and have had others like a Duerkopp 271 and a Juki DLN 414-4 and none has / had problems with skipped stitches. It could also be the fabric. I remember a microfiber fabric where all machines had problems sewing because of the weaving density of that fabric. But that was the only one I remember. Do you have this problem with other fabrics too?
@@MatthiasBurkhardt, only when sewing really plush flannels or bulky materials will it skip. That jacket is goretex material which is very tight as it is waterproof.
Great vid, im really intersted in this whole process and would love to have a conversation with you to learn some things about it. If you could give me a way to contact you i would really really appreciate it!
Thank you! Depending on we can have this conversation here, so others will also benefit from the information. I did not sew another one up to now, but I intend to do an additional one with removable hood.
@@MatthiasBurkhardt Perfect, i was wondering where you found the template that you cut the fabric from? and where you were able to purchase the materials from?
@@calliam I do all the tailoring myself, with Valentina. There is a fork named Seamly2d, that one is also Open Source and freely available. The pattern construction is done by me, it is fun with that program. The fabric is from the trade fair (munich fabric start), and it is a 3 layer laminate from Sympatex, the only company that sold me only a few meters of the stuff. All other companies do not sell to private persons or you would have to buy ~500meters of one kind. The link to the software is in the description.
What a wonderfull work here...rally love teatro content
This gentleman is a genius.
Thank you Anthony!
Your sewing technique is just amazing
I would have chosen the yellow paracord too! Looks amazing! ❤

True mastery, thank you for sharing your process. Would you ever consider selling this design as a pattern? Please upload more!!
As Open Source Enthusiast, I only would offer it as free download. I am a Patent Attorney and make money with different things ;-)

Matthias Burkhardt thank you! How much fabric did you buy for making this jacket?
@@Break8000 About 3m 3-layer laminate, and some 1m of mesh for the lining.
great video! quick question- what is the chalk marker you use?
Really a standard one as you can see. Nothing special.
Hi there! I was wondering if you could tell me what the name of the device you are using to apply the seam sealing tape is called?
This is a seam tape iron. I built it myself, there is also a video about it.
which sewing machine do you use for sewing.
See my answer to an older comment below.
Hello, nice jacket! What sewing machine are you using? Thank you!
Thank you! I use a Juki needletransport machine DLN-5410N-7 lockstitch, a Juki MO 2414 Overlock and a Siruba F007K Flatlock, which really annoys me, so I will change it to a Juki at some stage.
Where do you buy the patchs to cover the stitch
I bought the seam tape also with symphatex where I bought the fabric. It needs to be chosen to fit together with the fabric / laminate.
@ ok thank you mate , did you bought on a website??
Please guide us your sewing machine model number and maker.
See my answer to an older comment below.
What pattern are you using?
My own, designed with Valentina / Seamly 2d
Why did you design the front bodice with multiple panels? I cannot find any explanation of why hardshell jackets all have this feature.
It is just because it is much easier and has a cleaner look with multiple panels, because of the zipper attaching. I do not like fiddling in a zipper in one single panel.
That is a really cool idea and I want to try. Where did you get the irons for the seam sealing tape?
Did you put and nice fabric for the neck area?
I made them on my own ;-)

What do you mean with "put and nice fabric for the neck area"? The whole thing is 2-layer and turned over at the end. Therefore, the Sympatex is 2-layer at the neck.

@@MatthiasBurkhardt, I am using a Necchi freearm or Singer 500a (Rocketeer). I have tried all needles, I'll get it out again and try some more.

hi! where did you get that large amount of sealing-tape?
I purchased it with the fabric from Sympatex
Where do you find the pattern? Thank you
Made it myself. See description for the pattern program.
what main fabric did you used? what's the material for the liner to the outer fabric?
It was Sympatex:www.sympatex.com/
