I’ve always loved that tweed and so much fun watching you make the jacket! The beads came out really nice and I like how you arranged them in the jacket. Happy sewing! 😀🧥🎨
Wow! This is SO gorgeous! All the beads accent the tweed so well, while still blending in. You're magical with your hands! Im going to call this jacket The Chameleon ✌️✨💖 I also really enjoy hearing you break things down about making a jacket, the little details you've mastered!
I just love all the colors printed on the fabric. The strips of silk that the tweed is made from look like shredded paintings. It was awesome to be able to work with it.
What a treat to see this fabric and your process. I’m very slowly getting close to making my own tweed jacket. I got a couple of fabrics from Rathdowne fabrics in Melbourne, I got the Vogue pattern, I got the netting and silk lining. I’m nearly ready….💙💜❤️🖤
That's awesome! It took me a while to get my cotton mock-up right before I could start cutting into my first tweed. It was frustrating but it was totally worth it to get the fit right, and making the cotton mock ups also helped me get familiar with all the steps of jacket making, so I guess it's worth. Good luck with it. 🧥🥰🎨🧵🌷
I just used cotton fabric for the first mock up because that one is all about the fit (and seeing if the pattern actually works, or if it has mistakes). Plain cotton is easiest to fit/alter. Personally, I can tell what the actual finished tweed jacket will look like when I look at my finished cotton mock up but if you can't, then you could make another mock up just with the netting and try that on before cutting into the expensive tweed. Netting (or cotton) is only a few dollars a yard where as tweeds can be hundreds per yard. I feel much more confident doing all my experiments with those cheaper fabrics.
@@PerfectJacket thank you Fin. I’ve got a piece of fabric I’m not going to be sad to part with if my mock up goes south, but if it goes well, I can wear it. Then I should be ready to cut into my tweed 😁.
I'm new to your channel and love all your beautiful creations - this one in particular....it's gorgeous! I would like to know what type of netting you are using - is it a cotton bridal netting like you would use for a veil or is it just a nylon mesh netting like you would use for costumes or petticoats? I have only used silk organza or cotton batiste for my Chanel style jackets.
Thanks and welcome! It's the stiff nylon net. It has a structural integrity you can't get from anything else. The haute couture Lesage tweed Chanel jackets are made this way. The net stops the tweed sagging as the jacket ages.
Hi, Fin! This is a beautiful work🤩 do you work at some kind of fancy office? I can't imagine wearing beaded tweed jackets every day, as I use public transportation to get to work.😂the risk to damage the jacket is too high.
Each bead is just stitched on twice. Same thing for all 1,500 odd beads. BeadifulNights is a really good RUclips beading channel. She does lots of different tutorials.

As you said that tweed is incredibly beautiful. Argh….we need more words to describe these things!

Do you include the mesh panels in the mock up?

Thank you, Fin! I am in awe. And Congratulations! :)
Thanks, Robyn. It was fun getting to work with such a colorful mix of beads and such a lovely tweed. 🌸🧵 How are the 12 sets of pyjamas going?

Where in the world did you find this delicious fabric??😍
Thanks! Etsy back in 2020.

Thanks! I wear my jackets on public transport and planes. They're fine. But, you could wear a light weight coat if you were worried.🧥🎨🧵
Love the video, I just have one question, what is the netting that you used for the structural layer?
You can buy the netting at any big fabric store in the cosplay/costume/dance section. It's only a few dollars per yard.
Thank you so much!@@PerfectJacket
The problem with these videos is that you don’t show the actual work and that defeats the purpose of the video.
