    this suit was the closest thing to a 2020 final boss for me 💪 so many sewing techniques that I've been trying to master this year all packed into one outfit. It felt so good to put the suit on!!! like I said at the end of the vid I can't thank you all enough for your kind comments that help steer me in the right direction. This channel is becoming quite a testament to my sewing growth over the years and I hope it encourages you on your own growth journey 💕we've got a few more vids coming to wrap up the year, see you soon!

    When you used the lutterloh system last time I felt like I've seen something similar before...then I realised that my grandma used the system for sewing and we actually "inherited" it. I found it at my Moms house and used it to make a simple top. It was super fun and simple and I felt like my grandma would have been proud of me. So thank you for reminding me of her and encouraging me to create something😊

  • @tinypeekle
    @tinypeekle Год назад +1

    In engineering we use "dimensionless numbers". Sometimes if you take a ratio of two or more measurements you can describe a system with the resulting number, or in this case, a garment! The lutterloh system is probably based on some dimensionless numbers that they've found are related to all the other garment's measurements. We use these numbers a lot in chemical engineering, they're super useful!

    As a graduate majoring in fashion design, one thing I can tell u about interfacing is to not steam iron it !!! The steam will shrink the fabric underneath somehow although it’s not obvious but overtime the interfacing will eventually pop off the fabric and leave the garment floppy and weird :/ just thought whoever that sees this would wanna know haha

    Wendy, you are very creative and Channel is one of my favorite designers and I am in the process of making a Channel jacket. Your jacket is wonderful and looks gorgeous on you. By using the chain as a accent on the front was a genius idea as I have not seen that before, usually it is inside the coat to weight it down. Ikea would never have thought that one of their blanket could look so awesome as a Channel suit. I am really proud of you as you keep learning new techniques, tip, and tricks to sharpen your couture sewing skills. Keep up the good work.

  • @emilyhery854
    @emilyhery854 4 года назад +10

    I love how this turned out! Lined sleeves is not that hard there’s a good trick for lining up the bottom of the sleeves and then turning it right side out after, I believe in you! If you have any extra chain I think the skirt would look awesome with chain sewn around the bottom where the ruffle joins the top part. As for pockets, with those style of pockets you can sew the front pocket to the front edge, the back pocket to the back edge, and then sew the outer edge of the pocket and the side seam all in one go. It’s a little bit easier. Hope that helps can’t wait to see what you make next!!

    @peggyr9623 3 года назад

    The suit turned out beautifully. I just made one that took 4 weeks to make. Trial and error....alot of trial and error. Chanel used to sew chain across the inside of the back of the jacket to keep it hanging perfectly straight. This can be done visibly or invisibly by sewing it behind the lining of the jacket. She did it both ways. I put mine inside the lining as I didn't want to feel cold chain against my skin in the cold weather...just in case my sweater or top rose up and exposed my skin. It can also be uncomfortable when seated for a long time, i.e. air flight. You could attach it with snaps if you wanted to remove it while seated for a long time. I am always impressed with your work...it is amazing!

    Hi Wendy, Shoulder darts aren't always the best option for jackets especially with thicker fabrics, i would suggest either an armhole or bust dart. Also, I think removing the ruffle from the skirt would elevate the entire look. A circular ruffle would have been great but there isn't enough fabric. Very nice job as always!

    • @hectorrobertocontrerasmiranda
      @hectorrobertocontrerasmiranda 4 года назад +1

    Amazing job Wendy and Julia. Last summer I picked up a pink tweed curtain that mimics the Chanel fabric. I wanted to make 60s inspired Chanel dress and matching jacket and pill box hat. Thank you for making this video! This is definitely going in my saved folder.

    First time I saw this video, I liked it. Since then, I've started to sew (pillow covers -- going in easy), learned about Lutterloh. Watching this second time, I'm so impressed at how much time and love this took. G*d bless Julia for all that work with the ribbon and chain. Thank you for all you do!

    Your Jacket is way better tbh or maybe it's the styling that made the original jacket look bad anyways you did amazing as always.

    That suit was flawless, classical and thoroughly pretty (without being PRETTY). This comes from a subscriber that never wears, buys or even thinks about suits.

    This suit is so lovely and the ribbon chain that Julia did really lifts it from meh to wow! Amazing work Julia. I like that touch so much I'm considering going and buying chain and ribbon and making some for when I get to making a jacket that needs such embellishment.

    For couture jackets like the chanel suit they would use a silk gazar or heavy organza that is hand quilted with the lining. For warmth there may be a wool batting put in place for quilting.

    I wish there was a more step-to-step clear instructions on how to make this. Kind of confusing, and over the place. Still a good video for someone just watching and not wanting to do.
