ABOUT:
Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on RUclips. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️

One time she flipped her scarf in my face… it was awesome!!! Love the mean girls inspo!
i love how you always make it your own version rather than making it a dupe! also, loving the editing in this video
sagwa's purring is SO loud 😹gosh she's cute.
She loves to do this during my therapy sessions and zoom calls 🥲
Look forward to this each year, such fun and always so inspiring.
Such a beautiful result! Just a tip - if you want to sew normal buttons on thick fabric, put a match between the button and the material - then sew the button on by hand, and when finished, pull the match away, and wrap the thread around the loose threads to create a shank. Thank you for this video Wendy.
this gave me so much more appreciation for choices designers have to make - it looked like a simple jacket but the fit, proportions, material, luxurious details etc all made a huge difference to the final product!
The creativity and editing on this video was on another level! Also, this jacket made me think of an outfit Queen Elizabeth wore in the final season of the crown that I really loved.
The longer I look at the inspiration jacket, the more I think it's just a rectangle body with rectangle sleeves. the way the drop shoulder lokks just reminds me so much of simple rectangular knit sweaters. And having only straight edges would certainly make the decorative stitching a lot easier to acomplish...
But your version turned out so cute! And it probably fits way better around the armscye than the expensive one haha
I was thinking the same exact thing. It reminds me of the drop shoulders knitted sweaters. Just basic rectangles.
Yeah, I was thinking about folk blouses -- two rectangles for the front, one for the back, two for the sleeves, and armpit gussets. Some Romanian blouses have separate shoulder pieces that lead to a dropped seam.
Whoa you're busy making a baby and you're still giving us a blanket thrift flip? Unheard of. Extraordinary. Amazing. And can i just say, that jacket is stunning
i'm already laughing at the genius mean girl impression.. wendy, you've done it again, and i'm not even that far in to the video! :D
Love the purring and the restful music. You look gorgeous in that jacket!❤ Great endurance and creativity 😊!!!
Materials? beautiful. Final product? exemplary. EDITING?! Perfection 🔥👌
Wendy you can always use buttons without a shank and add a button stand! It’s where you sew the button on loosely and then wrap the thread around those stitches. You essentially make a shank out of the thread.
Ooo I was looking for this suggestion :) and I learned the official term, love it
Adding a flat button on the back at the same time - needle through both buttons sandwiching the garment - makes for a stronger hold on coats and heavy jackets.
Good point!
Oooh good to know!
"piecing is period" and "sewing is cardio" are fantastic sayings for the sewing community!
I’m really out of it when it comes to fashion trends but these videos help keep me up to speed. Also gives me inspiration to try to make new kinds of garments!
Mean girl inspired intro had me giggling.
so cute! if you put a discreet loop on the shoulder it would hold the scarf in place
Soooo…you popped up on my feed and I was immediately engaged…now you have me wanting to sew again and ofcourse I have to go down the rabbithole of watching all your blanket-jacket videos! Here goes, well worth it! Meet ya on the flipside!
Stunning work.
I was going to say the plain shank buttons. I love the flowers, but because of the patterns in the fabric, I think the shank ones are perfect.
It's cute! As a quilter, I'd have shown you a quick way to join all the pieces. Personally, I'd also add a button at center back and either side of the collar opening, place buttonholes in the scarf and button it on, so it doesn't fall off, fly away or come undone all the time.
I'm not a big fan of the original coat but yours is super cute! If it was me I would have went with the flower buttons just to absolutely maximize the cuteness factor, If I ever make a quilted jakcet I'll deifintely look for buttons like that! I wish there were quilted blankets in the thrift stores where I live but alas! I'm gonna have to make one from scratch it seems :")
When I saw the trim you choose I noded with approval because it was indeed the best one
Windy, I just love you and your videos so much! The mean girls goofs, the cat butt wiggling for freedom while you seriously assess your mock-up. Just wonderful! Also, it’s so impressive and entertaining to watch you dissect a pattern just by looking at pictures of it! It’s like watching a mastermind fashion detective at work!
You are the first person I have seen use that method for patterns!! Mins have been sitting in my box for 30 yrs lol I made one pair of pants from it and they were awesome.
Wendy the mean girls bit is just CHEFS KISS 😂😂
So glad you were able to use the scalloped edges. Turned out great!🎉
you could make a thermo skirt from the left overs to put over yuor day cloths when going out for a walk and want to keep legs warmer
Adorable! I loved watching your design thought process.
one time Wendy made this incredible scarf jacket..... it was AWESOME
I’m OBSESSED 🤯🤯🤯
Keeping the scallops was def the right call!!!
Also, why do your coats always turn out cuter than the original??😍
sagwa's purring invading your audio is so precioussssss
Good job Wendy!! I loved that you kept the scalloped trim.
I really loved the first buttons opposed to the flowers, I thought that they fit more cohesively with the colors and style of the design
What a fun tradition and a great idea! I'm going to start looking more closely at the blankets in the thrift stores!
It's gorgeous! You did such a great job. It's a new family heirloom.
It turned out so cute on you! I'd probably go for a plain pink blanket instead, but everything else I'd try to match as close as possible if I did a recreation of the tutorial. Now I just need a sewing machine 😅
I'm so happy I've found your videos again. Been watching them nonstop since and they bring me such joy!!
i always want to sew after watching withwendy s videos
here I was thinking the scarf would be attached to the jacket, but this is way better! It turned out so much cuter than the inspo
the fabric! the scalloped edge! the trim! the buttons! the mean girls reference! the editing! the music and the final scenes! this is my favorite videoof your channel ever 🌸💐💗 I'm in love with the jacket, wish I had the skills to make one ✨
That is the cutest jacket ever❣️😍
I love Sagwa’s short curly tail!
It's great to understand your thought process, and see how you make decisions. I wonder if you would like the scarf better if it was cut on the bias.
The first scarf that wasn't right, you could turn that into mittens to match.
THERE WAS ENOUGH TRIM 🥳😎🔥🤾🕺
we live to trim another day!!! though it is not good for my ego to win this many rounds of trim/thread chicken
Besides your voice that is as soft as a butterfly kiss, my favourite part are the bell sleeves and your dedication to perfection❤
love that you kept the scallop edge detail. the jacket looks cozy
hi wendy! just wanted to say i've been watching you since i was in ninth grade and now im in my senior year for college lol. finally got to buy myself a machine and i just finished my first sewing project ever!! wanted to say thank you for all the inspo through the years and keeping the creative in me alive. cheers!
Love the scalloped edges! So clever to keep that part of the blanket. Beautiful.
I think the shank style buttons would be a nice touch! Gorgeous jacket nonethless
You find the best blankets!! I’ve been looking for a long time and haven’t found any cute ones! This jacket is so amazing!
Wendy is the definition of demure
Love this quilted jacket on you. The pattern is beautiful and color spot on for you. Bravo👏🏼
Your jacket is amazing! I tend to attach buttons by hand because than I can make shank from thread.
You can create a shank by using the same or a slightly thicker thread for sewing on your buttons. Be sure to cut your thread at least 12 - 14" longer than usual. Use something like a toothpick to place between the jacket and the button. The toothpick creates an even space for your thread shank and holds your button at an even space as you sew. I like to use a doubled thread. Once the button is on, remove the toothpick but do NOT cut the thread. Hold the button out away from the garment and wrap your thread round and round the thread attached to the button, (8 - 10 wraps -- you be the judge) forming a nice clean-looking sturdy shank. Knot and cut your thread inside and you are finished! Wendy, your jacket is perfect!
I watched your last year's blanket-to-coat video yesterday and realised a new one should be right around the corner, I feel like I've summoned you! ❤
The jacket is giving Toteme X Sea New York. ❤
Very cute! Flower buttons are the best! You can actually make a shank for a button by sewing it on over a straight pin to create some extra slack and then wrapping your thread around the stitches!! Always love the annual blanky coat!
My mother had one of these coats back in the 80s but the scarf was more shawl-like in the center so you could whip it up over your head like a hood.
OMG, this video was so FETCH! Yes, we saw the Mean Girls montage! Loved it!! I don't even go here.
Omg the Sagwa sounds in the mic at 6:05
The waved effect on the seams! LOVED IT
With your videos I always press like before I even begin watching the video because I just know it's gonna be so good, and by the time the video ends and the lil montage plays I always wish I could like the video additionally because it's so inspiring and your editing is just so asthetic and ingenious!
I absolutely love it! I'd have chosen the other buttons and either wrapped the thread to make a shank, or slipped in a tiny button underneath to be the shank. I like that you kept the scallops and used the trim on the blanket, and your trim on the seams is so cute! Now I want to make one.
just want to say i'm loving the music ... i played this concerto in high school :)
This looks amazing. I really like the trim. It really elevates the jacket and adds whimsy
So cute! I love it. Been following you before you took the break, always loved your content. I also took a huge break from my businesses and just returned after a rough few years with health, pregnancy etc. I just want to send love to you and say you are amazing!
Honestly, I wasn't a fan of the original but your version is super cute and looks way better.
Those fabric covered buttons you can customize could've been cute
Come for the cat, stay for the fashion! Love the jacket 😮
OMG your 2022 coat make is my bedspread from 1981. Such memories, I was 18 then. After I finish watching this video, I’m going watch 2022 video. ❤This coat is adorable, L❤ VE IT ! I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you.
love the end result! Do you have enough material left to make one for your daughter?
This jacket is absolute perfection. Now I'm dreaming of the perfect pink quilted coat.
After seeing the price of fabric… I’m glad to subscribe to you! Love the thrift flips!! ❤
Obsessed with this video !!! I would love if you did a video explaining how you get your inspiration for these projects
Pinterest? Do you follow certain accounts on social media ?
I had never even heard of scarf jacket before this video !
This was so much fun to watch! Sewing with you would be a blast. And Lutterloh is such a great pattern company.
It turned out so cute! I love that you used the scalloping and the floral overlay.
I've been watching your videos since 2016, the editing just keeps getting better and better.. and you are just soo talented, ive learned so much about sewing from you. thank you for your videos!!!
The Mean Girls inspired sequence was 👌🏻
Amazing work Wendy! I love how pink it is 🌸 My grandma made gorgeous coats from quilts. You've inspired me to dig one out of the wardrobe and actually wear it! Xx
I love playing your videos while I knit. It’s like parallel play for fiber artists 😂
Beautiful! I'm so glad you went with the smooth button! I love the pink, I love the lace edging. Great job!
Ahhh love this modern cottagecore jacket! Also the Sagwa ASMR 🥰
I was half/half watching/listening when I totally tuned in and you had your pattern PCs on that wine/cream checkered fabric and I thought “ that’s gonna rock that coat!!!” Only to figure out it was your rug 😩. Bummer. Would’ve looked FAB!
Well done!!! I am literally in the middle of trying to hack a Lady Lancaster quilt jacket. I made a mock up with an old TJ Maxx comforter. I bought a cheap jacket on Amazon that looked closest to what I want to have something to start out with for the pattern, knowing I would have to play around with it. It was too puffy to really get any sort of pattern out of it. I thought I would lose my mind trying to figure it all out. But I have something that resembles what I am aiming for now. Just to make more work for myself, instead of trying to find a blanket or quilt to use, I am making a quilt first. Actually I am making blocks and sewing them into sizes slightly larger than each pattern piece. Then I can quilt the smaller sections rather than a large quilt which will make it enjoyable rather than torture. Then I will start to construct the jacket. Her jackets have a wide range but the Aunt Ethel style which I'm trying to emulate runs about $1,600. I think this is very fair since she has to buy the quilts first and she only selects ones in great condition. She is from Lancaster, PA and she uses quilts that have been hand quilted!! What a treasure if one can afford one. Anyway, I'm going to try to make one on my own.
Seriously that is like a family heirloom, it's beautiful 🤩
I love the concept, look and feel of blanket jackets. Jackets can be so serious as in more concerned with functionality (do not get me wrong, I appreciate that seriousness as I live in a COLD climate zone) than being fun to wear. I like fun. Even my hoodie has a shimmery fabric for its hood portion.
It sorta reminds me of the gray wool coat you made many years ago with the attached scarf. I made one and loved it!
I hope you made a vest out of the first mock up 😭 that fabric is beautiful
Hi Wendy, Fashion Design Graduate from (what was at the time) Ryerson, and I remember my design prof teaching us about dropping a shoulder. you add the excess amount to the shoulder from the sleeve head like you did here. you must also drop your arm hole the same amount down, as well as out from the side seam! this prevents shaping issues at the armpit :)
Oh my god it’s incredible. You’ve done it again!!!
You are adorable. The frolicking at end was perfect. ❤ your videos.
it's soooo cute! your drafting and sewing skills are crazy. well done!
god am I envious of your creativity, Wendy. I’ll channel it into inspiration for balancing life & projects instead.
You are amazing. Your jacket is lovely.
What a beautiful jacket! I can't think of a better way to save that blanket.
LOVE the final result Wendy! And Sagwa's purring when doing the second fit check - gorgeous! 😍 Just an FYI: at the start you mentioned the shoulder seams being equal in length, however, it is common for the back shoulder seam to be slightly longer than the front - it has a little added ease to help its nicely over the shoulder, so they don't have to be exact. Just like the outer leg on pants - the upper thigh area has additional ease as this is an area of 'stress' when worn, much like the shoulders on shirts, jackets etc.
always love the thrift flips! Particularly interesting to see a bit of your thought process around merging the two patterns here
I'm literally about to make my own version of the Toteme jacket! My 1st toile will be using NL6639 - even though it's a raglan sleeve. Once I get the scarf right, I can use it on another pattern closer to the actual design as it is only a long rectangle attached at the collar.
So, I was delighted to see your video. Although it's not exactly the same, I absolutely love it with the trim and wavy edge!!! I'll still make my version similar to the original, but now also want to make one like yours as it is so darned cute🥰... Doubt I'll find a quilt like yours, but I'll make it work somehow.
Your Cecilie Bahnson DIY is my coat of dreams xxx
I loveeee the blanket series!!
Was looking forward to seeing how you were going to make the embroidered hem, so sad you chose to have a different trim, but love the coat regardless🎉 you’re so talented😋
