I loved this vid. This is my very first time sewing ANYTHING, gave it a try. The jacket look like Frankenstein, but guess what , It's mine and I love it. Will do much better next time!!
I think it’d be cool to try!
@@treeroofgrass It was fun
@@damiencheeks6632 Good for you! This isn't an easy project to tackle, especially for a beginning. I'm very impressed!
@@dixielongate4748 Thank you!! Im going in for a second go at it really soon!
Damien Cheeks keep at it. Each time you make something you get better and better! Can’t wait to see the results
I like how the jacket turns brown at the end.
HoldShiftt2Run tuh. Lol…the finished jacket is on my blog & photographed in the Simplicity Catalog.
Cole?....... YOU STUPID..... lol
I love that this video is connected to the pattern. I love his teaching!!!!!
So grateful to you for this lesson. I’m not ready for this level of sewing. I just made my son a shirt but I really want to work up to this. I watched it twice. I really appreciate your detailed lesson.
Dolores Burrell awesome!!
@Dren Baruti I am very interested in your method of how a suit is to be made. Would you happen to have a tutorial on this matter?
@Dren Baruti I too am interested, is there another method that is better?
@Dren Baruti where’s YOUR video? Reference? Link?
I'm at aw. Didn't knew that there were tailors kind enough to SHOW you how to do things. you just made me save hundreds of euros
Yes, that! Thank you! Rare ppl have the patience or time or heart these days to really teach u. 💖
No one make it clear and very detailed like you do
I can tell you to share your skill like that step by step wow
You are the best
God bless
This video was my sanity saver. So much better than written instructions on their own. Just completed my first jacket and already making a second for my son who finds it difficult to find well fitting jackets. I was able to customise it to his specific measurements. Loved the video and would definitely recommend it. 😊
Can't thank you enough for disclosing this immeasurably precious information to us. I've been looking for a clear jacket making guide for a long time, but haven't been successful at all until I find this tutorial. This video was uploaded July last year, don't know why I couldn't find it before now. Great job man! This is the most complete and helpful tutorial on making suit jackets you could ever find online for free.
This video has been up for awhile so I don't know if or when you'll see this comment! You have incredible talent as a teacher and an artist! This is a great video! Fantastic work! Thank you!
Thank you soooo much! I just finished a suit for a guy that took me about 2 months longer than it should have mainly because I couldn't find instructions, video or written, for a man's lined suit. I had taken apart a different suit to create a basic pattern but my seam ripper got more use than my sewing machine because, although the pieces were cut right, I couldn't figure out what order to put things together because lining man's suit is much different than lining a woman's formal. It's not just duplicate a shirt and sew them inside out 🤣 I took apart another suit and bought a boy's pattern, thinking it was lined but, of course it's not. So, I searched for a man's lined suit pattern and, finally, found this video!!!!! Now I can practice on the little one and then make my man the custom talored suit I want to 😁😁😁😁
Hi Norris, I’m making two jackets for my Pastor. This video is very helpful. I don’t usually make men garments. But I’ve learned a lot. Keep designing more patterns for men. Love what you do.
Thank you Norris, this is my first time sewing a jacket, I was having difficulties finding a video for instructions and I came across this video. It's very helpful and easy to follow. I have now completed my double breasted blazer.. 😁. Thank you.
Excellent video. This video is very well made and mentions all the problems and solutions you will come in contact with, in making a Men's suit jacket. I now feel like I can make a Men's Suit jacket with your video as a back up if I run into a problem. Thanks so much.
Ethel Warren thanks for watching and please tag me when you made your first jacket.
I sewed along with you. You’re a true gift and I thank you.
Oh my goodness. I really learned a lot from this tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do this!
Thank you so much for this! I planned on sewing this eventually for my fiancé but I thought it would be too difficult to sew without help. Seeing you do this makes it all so much clearer!
Great!!
Glad to know I'm not the only one making my fiancé's jacket 😅
Sir, thank you so much for doing these videos. I've always been interested in tailoring, mens suits. I think it's because as a 80s kid, I lived miami vice and as a little girl I loved seeing don johnson and Philip michael thomas in those suits! We women (most of us do) love a man that's put together.
This was an amazing tutorial and so detailed, thank you for posting this! I was able to make a suit jacket for my wedding because of this video!
Thank you for posting this!
I can't stress how immensely helpful your video is. I keep coming back to it every once in a while when I can't figure out how to do something.
I don't think I would have gotten so far along in my project if it wasn't for your video!
🙌🏿 so I'm making my brother a jacket for prom. I patterned the jacket and everything. I just needed to know how to sew the collar to the jacket for a basic muslin. I was so confused but then I was like ...Norris probably has a tutorial and boom thank you!
Thank you for uploading this video. It is easy to follow and I appreciate how you take the time to let me do something, then get back to the video and continue. Your voice is easy to listen to, which makes following directions easy, too. Also, I had never known how to get my corners right or the inside pockets to look as clean as you have shown here in the video. Thanks!
Whilst learning to tailor at 14-15 years old the sleeve was the thing that stopped me doing jackets and stuck to making jeans. I'm procrastinating at 42 years old to get back and ticking this off my bucket list having not touched a sewing machine in about 25 years. Your tutorial was brilliant definitely deserves a follow
This is hands down the best walk through I've found for putting a garment together. I've made shirts, pants, coats and tons of other items but now I know I didn't necessarily do a few things correctly. It worked.. thank you for taking the time to explain everything so well.
This is amazing that it was helpful! I appreciate you giving feedback and hope you continue to check back for new content.
Mr. Ford, thank you so much for designing and sewing this men's jacket! 💜 This tutorial video is so well done and professional, even with the many pattern pieces you make it easy to follow along by explaining each step of the way, starting with the cutting out of materials needed.
I have made a few men's suits and suit for my sons over the past 30 some years, and I must say that your tutorial is spot on! Thanx again! 😊👍👍👍
I absolutely loved this video. Your voice is calming and your explanations are on point. Thank you. You have inspired me to sew my first pair of pant.
Hello Norris. This is one well executed video for a first timer on my making a jacket such as myself. You were so very clear about every detail in this process. My son is Class of 2024 and my hope is to make his prom suit. After seeing your video, I have no worries that I am going to complete his suit with no problems. I’ll start making him practice jackets this year just to get making it. Thank you so much sir!!
thank you so much!! i was struggling to figure out how a collar gets attached to a lapel on a suit jacket and no other video could explain it to me. this was brilliant!! cheers
I love suits and I really wanna learn to sew my own suits/clothing. This video is great and you did a super good job!
When I saw it was an hour long video I didn’t want to watch it. But then I just couldn’t stop. It is very well explained and executed. Thanks!❤
You should model the clothes after you finish them.
Excellent. I’m in England. So just ordering the pattern from the USA now. So have to wait to do it. Thank You 🎃.
Herr Mondlicht I can’t wait to see what you do with the pattern!! Please tag
How can I purchase the pattern? Thank you
@@gatodelosgatos Ebay has them
I really need a visual most times and you have come through for me once again. Loved the denim jacket tutorial (made 2 for my sons). Will be searching for this pattern tomorrow. Can't wait to make this. thank you so much. UPDATE: made this in twill to really see if I could actually make it without wasting a ton of money on fine wool. It turned out really nice even in black twill. Rewatched the video cause I'm getting ready to cut out 2 and sew these up for my sons in navy linen. I bought and made your slacks pattern as well. I guess thanks to you I'm one step closer to suit making. Your sew alongs are greatly appreciated and we'll loved.
First time doing welt pockets and first time doing this kind of sleeve... Thank you SO much for making this video as easy to follow along as you did. Couple things I did differently based off my own experience and requirements but it was such an easy to follow tutorial. I don't know what kind of wizardy you pulled with that sleeve... I didn't understand what was happening but I tried to copy the hand movements and ended up with a perfectly finished sleeve. THANK YOU!!!!
such an excellent video with great instruction. You have a very calm and clear voice! Thank you so much for the tutorial
These are great, I'm glad I was able to pick up your patterns today. Can't wait to start making my own suits.
This is brilliant. Thank you so much for making this video. I'm going to be making a tailored coat for a local amateur theatre, and although I know how to sew I have never made a men's jacket or coat. Having watched your demo with your clear & concise instructions I now feel confident to get started. Thanks again!
First best sewing tutorial video ever. Thank you so much I'm about to make one. Hope to nail it.
i Just purchased the pattern today. This will be my next project - probably some time in Summer this year. I've sewn other garments (button shirts, shorts, pants, jeans), but I've never sewn a suit/blazer. Wish me luck. Oh, and thanks a million for this sew-along - it will be extremelly helpful.
i’m new to sewing the only way i learn well and fast is by jumping head first so i bought some nice fabric and found this tutorial and now i’m ready to go wish me luck for my first project 😅
Thanks so much for this, you're helping out more than you know!! You're a blessing brotha!
After crying for 10 minutes realizing I messed up bad a rewatched your video and found my way back on track! THANK YOU
I was getting flummoxed at the pattern instructions for the vent and you made it all make sense, thank you
You are so amazing at matching patterns
Delecia Tatum thank you very much!
Instructions are amazingly detailed. Thank you for sharing valuable information!
Bravo my brother !!!!
Beautiful work, explanation and extremely neat finishing ,
I bought this exact pattern today and was about to get started when I found this video. Weird coincidence but very nice that I can follow along.
I like how u do it differently as my grandfather does
(He's a tailor and still works)
You are doing a great job. Your suit is perfect and your technique is great. I am sewing a velvet style of blazer and is so difficult to do so. To undue is hard and I have made all possible errors. In a NOT to do list, I done them all. To watch your work is helpful. Thanks.
wow the quality of the course is amazing! I was looking for a good tutorial for days. My quest is over! Thanks a lot. Then I will check that sewing academy.
I love your instructions it is clear and understanding I am going to try to make a suit for my husband
Fantastic video. Bought pattern due to this awesome video. I would never be able to complete with just the paper instructions.....
9:24 after the dart is sewn, the raw edge is aligned, which only happens if the dart was sewn to the correct size. This dart matches the contours of the waist. If the edge doesn’t match, it will look more straight up and down, or boxy like a t-shirt, and will drape differently with that extra fabric making folds at the hips when buttoned up and you bend at the waist.
Very nice . . . .I'm so impressed with your skills . . . .your Hoodie youtube was good . . .but the "Suit" was something to behold . . . I'm learning a lot from you and I hope you continue to make videos . . . .Job well done, sir!!!!!
I'm not very familiar with using patterns for sewing clothes (I usually just use measurements and make a mockup, and then pick it apart and use that as my pattern, because I have too weird measurements to make already made patterns work for me, and of course I do my own scribbles and notes of how to sew where on that "pattern" but it's nothing like how professionals do it) so at first I was a bit confused, but once you got to the sewing part of the video things started making sense to me and I learned a lot of of neat techniques. I'm actually looking to make a waistcoat though, but with lapels which is the challenging part for me, so I only watched up until you got to the sleeves.
Yes I know waistcoats would have only lining fabric at the back, far less or no interfacing, no vent at the back, etc... but all those details aside, I feel like there are a lot of similarities that I could learn from! Also I may want to make a jacket or coat at some point in the future, I'm still just kinda building up to that.
I wouldn't say I'm a beginner at sewing clothes, but I'm mostly self taught, which comes with the drawback of being very out of the loop on how things are supposed to be done professionally. I'm far more skilled with altering already made clothing to fit me better, even suits originally 3-4 sizes too big for me, without it looking weird or bad, including more complex alterations like changing peak lapels to notched, and making the shoulders smaller on jackets. I taught myself how to do completely hidden seams by hand that have been very useful. So I feel a bit more like a beginner trying to tag along in (to me) very strange terminology, than I actually am.
8:11 notice how he pins this up: pins enter and pierce the stitch line and he checks the back for where the needle exits. This keeps the dart geometry aligned and stable at the machine. Sewing fabrics together usually has a raw edge to align, maybe notches. The lower fabric is in a blind spot at the machine, completely covered with no way to see it once the needle and thread are in use.
Thank You! I have been stressing over making one of the jacket patterns I have.
Lamar Latrell I know it can be very stressful to start just a detailed garment with high level techniques, but this video is great and will get you through it all.
This is very detailed and clear to understand, honestly this has taught me so much just my watching you, I already subscribed... you pay attention even to the smallest details... absolutely educating...🙏
Wow. Ok this was inspirational. One day when I grow up i can make this
You are amazing great easy to follow instructions glad I came across this video thank you!!!
Well say!!!! You did that! I am so happy about this tutorial. I can't wait to get the new pattern and to sew it up. Thank you very, very much for your efforts!
I’m so excited for you! The pattern is a really good one, so please tag me when your make it!
I want to do this for me..woman..I have ALWAYS loved the inside pocket of men's blazers. What would I need to do to make this for me?
You are so amazing!!! Made life much better!! Happy sewing!!❤😁😍
Hello Norris, I just watch your TUTORIAL , I love a good TUTORIAL, And you made it easey for, I will be following you,thanks for the lapel, beautifully done👍👍👍👍👍
Georgette Sledge thanks for watching and I hope you continue to follow my work!
I’m so frustrated with the sleeves. I’m not understanding at all about attaching the lining
Same here the sleeves make no sense AT ALL!!! Lolll that’s why I’m watching this video
I'm having trouble getting the side back lining pieces to match the back lining and front side lining. I clipped the longer less curvy piece, and put it against the feed dogs but there is too much fabric? What's the best way to trim it down to match better?
I follow u and mimig all the time and have made most if your guys patterns on video. Cant wait for more of yr coming easy to sew videos.
As a cutter by trade I always called the pieces cut as a pair of 2. Top Sleeve, under sleeve, front, back other parts as a pair. All patterns are cut from fabric on the double. (double blocked fabric suiting) Sleeve interfacing must be cut as a pair due to having a left and right part for each sleeve.
Fabulous tutorial! Thank you. I look forward to sew this pattern.
Love it, I’m going to try and make a vest for my hubby, the interfacing is that like underlaying
Wow thank you so much for this tutorial!!! Also your rings are dope!
I think your video are one of the best!!!! Thank you so much
15:03 this is an optional step to add bulk and stability at the upper chest. It makes this area a bit more stiff, warmer, makes the lower fabric drape differently, and adds weight which makes it more satisfying to wear. If your belly protrudes a bit or your chest is small, this can make the jacket and you look more normal.
15:21 the buildout follows the roll line, which makes that roll over a bit larger of a radius, and makes it a consistent line without creasing when not buttoned. This is important because most blazers are worn unbuttoned, and the consistent roll line and structure makes it wear with nice symmetry, which makes the wearer appear to be more clean and organized.
Hello, in my pattern I noticed that pieces 10 and 11 aren't aligning like the video (19:20). When I line up 11's CF with the top/end of 10 there is a 1 inch gap between the ends of the pattern. In your video they appear to align evenly. I can't move on to sewing 10 and 11 to the neckline because the lining up is not working, there is too much neckline now for the bodice. It is not going around evenly. Any resolve?
you did an amazing job with the video!... I'm gonna make a jacket (Plaid with Black Satin Lapel!... Thank You Very Much!
9:22 @Norris Danta Ford - But what function does the slit have? Is there any structural reason for cutting it and then sewing it back up?
Thinking about sewing a seersucker jacket. I'm a pretty good tailor.
I am trying to follow the instructions on how to make this jacket. I am at the sleeve portion (52:43) and to say I'm frustrated is an understatement. "This" and "that" are not technical terms and follow ex. grab this, take that and fold it there. It's not instructional. I would have loved to see the other side of the garment in areas where the fabric was not a straight fit and explanations for the variances (sleeve again, the split and zig zag stitch on the side front, etc.) The view is one sided, meaning there are places in the video, the sleeve hem, where showing the other side of the fabric is helpful to those of us that have not made this pattern before. My hem did not come together the way its shown in this video because my fabric puckered based on the instructions. There are other mishaps from video to reality (attaching the sleeve corner to the lining after completing the sleeve hem is another) but for those that have been sewing a while, we can certainly make it work. I have been sewing for over 10 years and while I am up for a challenge, I am so disappointed to get this far and are still having trouble. I've come too far to give up so I will improvise but please consider a reshoot of this Sew Along. In the meantime, I will keep watching the video so I can better understand attaching the sleeve lining to the fabric and finish the jacket.
I've watched this video four times to better understand men's blazer/jacket and I wanted to say thanks for making this pattern! My boyfriend handed me a pattern to make a jacket for him and the pattern was awful! It had no shape, i was so confused since I only make women's clothes. After this video I realized the pattern was terrible and this is the pattern I needed to buy. I bought this jacket and the sleeves are amazing and look professional... the other pattern I had was tube sleeves and I hated it. The other pattern also called for ruffling the man's shoulder sleeve??? it was hot garbage. thanks for making this video xoxo
This guy has three infinity stones..
Pattern shows up this week. I hope to make some hip cool jackets (NO STUFFY BESPOKE SUIT JACKET) fast tailoring and ready to wear industrial sewing techniques, i hope i get the right interfacing.
Norris, On each item you create you come back to us wearing something else...? We want to see you wear what you just made on video. Also it would be nice to see your face during the video and not just you nicely manicured and adorned hands.... 💕💕💕
Rochelle Camps Salas thank you for watching and I will be wearing what I made on video on my social pages. It’s just a deadline time frame we have to reach. Not enough time to properly finish the entire jacket to photograph all before uploading it for Simplicity. I’ll do a follow up video with me wearing the jacket from the tutorial. Well if all else fails I hope this video help you make the jacket. Continue to follow and tag me.
Norris Danta Ford Thank you very much for the explanation.....I now understand...I still want to see more of you than your hands...😘
Great instructional video clean and concise thanks
Sua explicação é maravilhosa . Amazing...
14:06 I had a hard time edge-stitching through the seam allowance. Couldn’t ensure the stitch line hit the same way. I think I will come in just past the seam allowance to make kind of a small ridge of the bulk. Just need to make sure I trimmed it down cleanly and in a way that compliments the stitch.
Yay i have this pattern and i hope i can learn from this tutorial how to put it together
OMG you're the best. My lecturer won't teach me because I chose garment designing instead of garment construction in my third year at the University. Thank you 💘
This is a great video, thank you. Just quickly what material did you use for the front interfacing? The instructions say use fusible but it appears to be sew on in the video.
Do you have an instructions on how to bag the lining for the jacket? I'm going to purchase this pattern and give the jacket a go. Another question, the hair canvas, is it fusible or sew in?
Amazing tutorial!!! What type of interfacing should we use to construct the jacket? Do you have any store recommendations? Also to purchase suit fabrics? Thanks so much!!
Thanks, this is the second time I watched your video. I am trying to know order in two steps. Shoulder back and front goes first to the lining on the front piece? I am not sure what it will be the best order to follow. First shoulders and second lining to the front? or First goes lining on the front and later front and back shoulders?
Always a good idea to re-inforce pocket areas with interfacing, *especially* where lining's involved.
I always do.🤷
Speakin' o' which,what type o' lining are ya usin' there❓🤔
I'm pretty sure the terms for cutting are a pair of fronts, a pair of uppper sleeves, a pair of collars, or a pair of pockets, or a pair of undersleeve linings, a pair of upper sleeves. etc
Hey Norris love the video, what type of interfacing did you use?
This tutorial is so helpful! I'm currently following along on a mock-up before I move on to the final fabric, and I have a question at 9:30 : When you're lining up that gap to stitch it shut, on my mockup, the length doesn't line up perfectly after I sewed the dart the way yours does. There's excess length on bottom part of the piece. Does that make sense? How do I remedy that?
If it doesn’t line up, the dart is probably not right. Take a ruler to the pattern between the two dots and compare to the fabric dots. When copying patterns and transferring to fabric, it is common to lose accuracy. There should be a reason to ease that part. Good thing is you don’t have to remove the stitches unless it is the wrong length. You can just fold it over again, make sure you pin ON THE LINE, BOTH SIDES. Put the pin through the line straight in on one side and turn it over to see where the pin came through, adjust the fabric fold until the pin comes through the line on the backside, and then lay the pin flat along the line and push through the line on the backside to come through the line on the front side again. Do that all the way up the dart. Then all you have to do is see right on the line.
your tutorials are the best
I love the casual pocket style. I don’t like the formal flap top pockets so much.
Norris Danta Ford- where can I find information on the “build out”?
Jamie Bressler yes! I was wondering the same thing.
I wonder if a build out is making it double layered so when the lapels are showing it’s not a single layer?
Hello, Thank you for the tutorial. I do have two questions. I want to make a slim fit Tuxedo jacket. If I omit the first button will the lapel naturally lay flat? The second question is; if I alter the front bottom of the jacket to give a slight edge where the jacket closes. Meaning make the opening slightly more visible should give me the Tuxedo look? I pray I explained that last question correctly. Thanks for any suggestions and assistance.
Very good video and thanks you so much for sharing.
Thanks I want to do this, so it is extremely helpful.
Thanks for sharing 👍.
