I just made the Love Notions Metra Blazer and I love it! It is a knit Blazer but still looks very professional. I have already worn it to work and will make more in a few other colors.
Sound exciting. My favourite blazer, which I have now made 3 times is the Love Notions Metro Blazer. It is perhaps more casual, goes together really easily and has lovely inseam pockets. Made in knit fabric. I've made mine in Ponte. Wear them loads.
And Love Notions has a great size range with built in FBA options. And as another person on the edge of standard and plus sizes, I've had no issues grading between sizes. Their patterns are layered and that makes it so easy to deal with grading.
Hi Hayley. I'd love to see how you make your chosen blazer. Loved the jumper you were wearing. My box arrived yesterday. It's great, love it. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you 😊
Wonderful useful vlog Hayley! Thank you. I am currently working on the Heather Blazer as my first blazer actually with a lovely medium weight teal linen that I got in one of your boxes many moons ago. Planning to line it with a viscose. I'm right on the XXL line and hoping it will fit. Thought about using 1X but then looked at the finished measurements. I may need a 1X sleeve. xx Karen
Perfect timing Hayley. I'm thinking of doing the Auburn blazer in denim to have this as my "elevated denim jacket" but as a blazer too - because we are heading into Autumn in Australia and I just think this would be pretty cool with a little bit of distressing. Of course I'd make a classier one also for going to the office (if I worked in one) as like you I wear what I wear at home to my home office.
Have a go at the merchant and mills Quinn pants. I made them in a black stretch drill and they turned out so well. Love the straight leg and there’s plenty of room in the thighs which is bonus. They are not supposed to be made in stretch fabric, but it certainly helps with fit issues and comfort!
I’ve just received The Blazer pattern by Avid seamstress, I hope to have it cut out as part of my half term plans. It might happen to be in a SHJ fabric too 😀
Get the actual jacket fabrics scraps and made 6 yes 6 welt pockets as Practice. Write down everything you learn with each practice and you will not only be an expert but you'll be able to skite "Oh! Welt pockets.. they're easy!!"😂😂😂

I love this idea, smart but comfortable as well - what a win!
Just so you know, you already present beautifully 😊 having said that I'm here for the ideas and sewing content so you go boss girl 😊
Haha thank you so much, I think I just want to differentiate a bit more between work and home!

Oooh I like the idea of a Ponte blazer!!

Ah this is timely thank you. I’m definitely going to finally make a blazer this year!!!
Yes!!! Let's do it!
Great vlog as always love you are talking about blazers I definitely want to make one. Looking forward to see which one you make.❤❤
Thank you, can't wait to get started!
Fabulous vlog. Love the colour of your top, the colour really suits you x
Thank you so much, I've had a few people say that to me when I wear this top!

So happy you love your box! Thank you for your lovely comment!
Nina Lee Richmond blazer, Love Notions Metra blazer. I've made them seven last year.
Oh wow!! That's impressive
I would like to see your process with the blazer!
Thank you, I'll get on it!
I’d like to recommend the Metra blazer by Love Notions. It’s very flattering, recommended fabric is ponte and sews up nicely, a fun sew.
I love the idea of a Ponte blazer, I will definitely take a look at that one, thank you

Oh my god now I need to make one in denim too!!! Love love love that idea
@@SewHayleyJane Let's do it! You could do a denim blazer sew along. Just a thought😂 Oh I now think I know which pattern you used🤣.
I can’t imagine a wardrobe without at least a couple blazers. I’ve got the Cashmerette blazer pattern but haven’t yet made it.
I feel like it’s definitely something that could get a lot of wear!
Definitely a sewalong please!!!!
p.s. I think you will make either number one or number three?!!!
Watch this space!!

Thank you for the recommendation, I will take a look!

I would to see you sew blazer as it’s on my list too😂
I'll make sure to film some of it!

Oooh please send me a picture when it's finished!
I have the jasika pattern but a bit daunted by making it!?
It's such a lovely style, I'm definitely trying to push myself a bit more to learn new techniques
