Normally I don’t comment this much, but here I have to. This jacket is so cute and suits you so well, this blanket waited for you I‘m sure ! Keep up your great thrift flips!
I love all the ginghams that you have in your wardrobe!
Your coat is so much fun!
♥️👍😎
I love the jacket, and it looks so good on you. Ever since you bought the blanket, I've been waiting for this video to see if it could be done. Once again you didn't let us down. It is beautiful and you do amazing work. Be proud of yourself.
Aw thanks Debbie, that means a lot 🧡 xx
I love it so much! Maybe you'll find another blanket and make a longer one if you need it. So worth it. Looks so snuggly and cosy!
Loved making this coat so much I’m already on the look out for another blanket 😍
I am FLOORED by the result - and how you were able to successfully do it! Whenever those thick layers of fabric were going through the sewing machine, I admit I was afraid to see the needle break in half (and seeing the machine moving back and forth wasn't helping with that). Absolutely be proud of what you did, this was a major project and the coat is simply wonderful
This is a beautiful jacket, Janelle. I'm glad you left the front pickets off, less is more.
There is going to be a lot of people wishing they had your beautiful jacket. 😍
I like your gingham circular pillow on your bed. Could you please post a video on how you can make one?
Aw thank you so much! I’ve shared a tutorial for the gingham pillow here: ruclips.net/video/gS3Nq9FBeq0/видео.html 😊
@@RoseryApparel Thank you, Janelle. My apologies for not watching this earlier. The cushion looks fabulous. 😀
Absolutely darling coat! I made a long robe from a machine quilted blanket. The sleeves are super long so I can unroll them to warm my hands. Recently the long sleeves became useful as oven mits. LOL I'm almost sad to see summer coming.
What a wonderful thrift flip! I feel like your coat is going to be like sunshine on a cloudy day with how gorgeous and happy the floral pattern is! ☀️🌼🍂🍁💛🧡
I’m so inspired! 💕
I agree and I've been telling people for years that blankets make beautiful coats. I recently uploaded a tutorial on my channel showing how I made a spring jacket out of quilted pillowcases. Upcycling is loads of fun.
Looked forward to this ever since you picked it up.
Yay I hope it was worth the wait! x
@@RoseryApparel oh Yes.
Isn't it wonderful when you've dreamt about making a special garment and it really works out! Well done for having the vision to turn a blanket into a coat and execute it so perfectly!

Love it!!! 70’s vibes in the best way and it looks so comfy 🥳
You have the guts to try these things and end up with some one of a kinds for your daring!!
l love it
For fabric this thick, I would recommend a walking foot! quilters usually go through so many layers so walking foot is great for feeing fabric thru your machine evenly
Agree with The Aussie Family-- a walking foot reduces even further the space between the presser foot and the fabric. There are machines which allow you to raise the presser foot before beginning to sew, such as the Husqvarna Vikings and the Janomes.
I haven't even finished watching yet but just wanted to pause and comment... this is by far my favourite thing you've ever made!! I almost felt a bit emotional watching it- stuff like this is why it's so rewarding to sew. The only time you'd ever see a coat this beautiful, original and well made would be of it was made by a designer for hundreds of pounds. Clothes like this are usually way out of most people's reach, but if you can see then you can have almost any type of clothing you like an i love it so much. Honestly this is so so lovely and congratulations on now having an amazing coat!!! Im horrendously jealous 😅
Wow!! That cost is absolutely gorgeous!!!! Love it!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous.The best thing is that it is one of its kind.I hope you get lots of wear out of it.🌷
Omg the pockets! And the lining! HOW! You are magic 🪄
Thanks Lindsay! It was a very satisfying project 😄
I love this coat and the length is perfect ☺️
How adorable! Super cozy, too!
I think it was a good decision to go without patch pockets. Welted pockets give a very elegant vibe, and I think patch pockets would go against that. The coat is an amazing mix of elegant cut and funky fabric, it's so lovely!
I love this! You certainly gave yourself a challenge by doing your first ever welt pockets on that fabric but they turned out so beautifully! Well done 🤩
Your coat turned out absolutely beautiful! You have inspired me to look for a similar blanket and try making my own! Very very lovely work!🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️

The coat ended up being so beautiful! And those welt pockets are so impressive - love it!
Thank you! I’m soo happy with it! 😊
I am impressed!! It’s getting hot here in West Tennessee, USA but I love your channel so much. My son and his wife gifted me a cutting set with detailed scissors that I really needed plus Harry Potter fabric. I think that’s the hint they want a Harry Potter quilt.
I love it 🥰 I love all the colours you pick for your clothes. Thank you for your lovely calm helpful videos. My Mum was a sewer and worked from home but it was chaotic and she earned very little money, making coats quickly on a tight schedule. Oh how I would love to go back and have her teach me all her skills. I watch your videos and dream I could make my own, yet I still procrastinate as I know I will get stuck.
Wow the coat turned out SO CUTE! I have to say you make everything look so easy but I have no doubt sewing through all that fabric and keeping everything so neat takes considerable expertise! I think YOUR coat will inspire many, many other makes 😍
I’ve had this coat pattern for a couple of years but have only just made myself a blanket coat, seeing you go through the steps helped me so much as I changed the collar shape too after seeing you do it and had some trouble understanding the written instructions for sewing it all together. Wish I could find a blanket like yours for my next coat, looks so cool!
Brave girl, well done, looks great!
It looks amazing! Well done, great choice of fabric.👍🌻
I love this. Not sure I would have the skill or courage to attempt this yet but one day, who knows? Thank you, Janelle, for teaching us so much and in such an enjoyable way. Keep sewing! X
Perfection now you have made one if you want longer just look out for another blanket. 😊🤗
Great job! That’s the project I’ve been most curious about! Amazing fabric (& up cycle). It’s a real treasure! Bravo! Love your channel! Thanks for sharing!
I think you should make a hat to match! Lovely!
You’re a clever girl Janelle👏🏻
Wow!! You did an AMAZING job. I absolutely love the coat! It’s beautiful!!
Hi, I hope you had a cheerful day. I spent the day in my sewing room on virtual sew dates. I just want you to know how much I have been enjoying watching your channel while I hand quilt! I wish you a wonderful week ahead! Than you for posting this video.
Sooo beautiful I honestly didn't think that I would like it but I'm impressed..
I'm really considering making this jacket with my old blanket..
That is a beautiful coat! You did an amazing job. I don't think my older sewing machine would sew through thicknesses like that though. You are an awesome seamstress, and you are an awesome inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
You are sweet! Thank you for your kind words! 🧡🧡
Fantastic Janelle I remember you thrifting for this.
I loved seeing the vision you had for this coat come together!
Thank you! It was such a satisfying make 😊
I m impressed ! Your dare it and you manage it ! Bravo !
It looks so cosy!
Lovely unique creation!!! 😍
Your "eye" is outstanding! You have great style
Aw thanks so much! 🧡
I’ve been waiting for this video since you thrifted that blanket. So worth the wait, the jacket is a work of art.
Aw thank you so much! x
Oh my gosh, Janelle... this is awesome. I love how you did not let yourself be intimidated by what could seem a very difficult project, reserved only for skilled tailors. You hacked patterns, and you tested pockets, I couldn't be more impressed. Loved how it turned out. The gingham for the lining was a perfect choice. Congratulations! Great job!
Aw thank you! That means a lot 🧡
I love it!!!! It looks so warm and cozy!!!
My gosh, how adorably cute and awesome. What perfection!! Well done you. I think this is one of the best things you've made. Wow!!
YAAY! It turned out SO BEAUTIFUL!! Have been looking forward to seeing this Janelle - thank you for sharing! x
Oh my goodness, that's a fabulous coat! I love your style and color esthetics on all of your garments. Super cool blanket coat!
I adore the coat and I definitely have those feelings about linings but you made me want to try it out. Apart from the coat project, the funniest thing is how amazed I am about that brush trick that you did with the erasable marker. I'm mind blown with that simplest thing. Thanks! xx
The blanket! Finally! This turned out amazing! You are so talented! Well done! Love it! Totally worth it!
I'm so excited to make a blanket coat too! I've been saving up blankets but I think I found the perfect one yesterday.
That’s exciting! Have fun making your own blanket coat 😊
Absolutely beautiful..well done..I love it..Jxx ❤ 😍 💖
Wow the coat looks amazing you are so talented
A fantastic job, looks great on you
Well I have to say that I am really impressed. It looks lovely and suits you. xxx
It came out amazingly!! I was getting second had stress watching you sew through all those thick layers. I’m always impressed with what you make but this was next level. Wow.
Thank you! It was well worth the effort of sewing through all the layers 😍
Very cool! Maybe you could use the leftovers to make a matching hat and muff!
Lovely Jeanelle..love it. When you rip the fabric for the button holes with the seam ripper, a good tip is to put a pin there so the rip cant go past the pin making a rip too big.
Soooo satisfying watching you make that pocket 😍 at first I was like 🤨 but then you blew my mind 🤩
Absolutely gorgeous-- well done!!
I love it , i also love top stitching too
The coat is gorgeous! Love the blanket and gingham fabrics you used.
Your sewing machine is a trooper! The result is amazing, you did a great job as always ♥
I’m loving the mixed patterns of floral and gingham 😍😍 and the welt pockets turned out amazing 💗🎉
I've been really looking forward to you making this. It looks just as stunning as i anticipated and i like the length. A stylist would say it cuts off just under your knee, at the top of your calf, which is the slimmest part, so very flattering!
You have given me so much inspiration with your videos 🥰🧵🪡
Love it, really gorgeous Janelle. Thank you for sharing. Remain blessed xxx
What a beautiful coat! Looks so professional and it is one of a kind.
That coat is amazing! Rock Star quality 🤩
So gorgeous! Loved the process. You should be pleased. It motivates me to sew. I really enjoy your channel. I look forward to watching every week. Thanks.
Thank you so much! 🧡
No way! I have that exact blanket at home. The coat looks stunning! 🤩
You are so incredibly creative and I personally love the length. I Think if it was any longer, it wouldn't look like a coat, it would look more like a spruced up snuggie. lol! this and your rain coat are so inspirational! Can't wait to get a bit more skill under my belt to try this myself. ❤
I am currently making a coat and have been nervous about the lining. Watching your video has encouraged me to forge ahead! Thank you!
Great job tackling all that thickness. Looks great. I live on the Central Coast near Sydney our weathers not quite cold enough for a coat that thick. Enjoy your videos & can’t wait to see what you do with the tablecloth you bought.
Gorgeous!! I love that you checked for backup :) but hey beaaautiful Welties!!
soooo cool! The welt pockets really finish it off! Job really well done! Will now keep my eyes open for a blanket to start a project like this for myself
After you thrifted that beautiful blanket, I have been patiently waiting for you to make it into a coat. It turned out beautifully. Love it!
Well done! It’s absolutely gorgeous. Lovely and snuggly.
How cute!! So impressive!
You make it look so so easy😊😊
Gorgeous! It looks so cosy and fun.
Wow you are so clever,love it 😍 👏
Haya. Loving your coat. I did the exact same thing & created a snuggly coat out of a thrifted blanket, it is all yellow & I kept the satin edges the blanket had to incorporate it in the coat. I can totally understand sewing through ALL those layers. I was not as brave as you to make welt pockets so mine are patch pockets. Yah I watch Suzanne from Sew Custom as well. Thanku 'sew' much for sharing. xx
I've been waiting for this video since you picked the blanket up. Looks amazing!
Love how it looks! Great video!
I have been waiting on this coat since you bought the blanket. It’s gorgeous!! I love it. Now I want to see if I can make a coat!
Awesome job! I love it! ❤️
One other RUclipsr I follow (not sewing related) was talking about doing a blanket coat and I was sceptical about it. Yours turned out great!
Adorable- I made one coat years ago- this made me think of it fondly. Great job!!
That turned out way better than I expected. I was a little scared for you cutting into it without making a wearable toile in a less precious fabric. Glad it turned out.
beautiful as always!!! really love this flip, one of my favorites you've done too! :)
I love welt pockets but have always been to intimidated to try them. That was a clear explanation, thank you!
I have been waiting for this video since you first showed the blanket on your channel! Yaaaay!
Such a lovely jacket, it suits you so well too!
You did a fabulous job! I love how it turned out.
I love it!!! 😍😍😍😍 good job🤗
I absolutely LOVE your BLANKET COAT! So very stylish! A great mix of vintage and modern design. You look so lovely in your coat. I am so impressed with your design and sewing skills. The video was fun to follow along with. Thank you so much for sharing you talents and skills in such a beautiful and enjoyable way. I am so happy for you. You look both elegant and darling in your new coat!
Wow!! It looks amazing
Absolutely love your adorable coat. Everything about it is perfect. You pick out the prettiest fabrics.
Thank you so much! 🧡
