Making your own clothes is not always going to be the cheapest route. That's not what the point is though, when you create something, it is of your own. You made that!
Thats true, but the beauty of it is, that your honing skills you probably didn't even know you had, your going to be making something that actually 'fits' right, and its going to be something totally individual that 'You' made! So for me, thats worth every stitch :-) Plus you save a fortune on repairs and alterations in the long run.
For quality compared to what you would get if you bought the same quality in the store its ALWAYS cheaper. The only thing it will cost you is time. You're never gonna spend a grand or more on a jacket you made yourself unless you make it of all the finest leathers and silks, but to buy the same thing in stores is gonna cost you 4 times that.
Dude! I love this jacket. Coming from someone who's been designing for 11 years I do want to fill u in on a couple things. When you do the rib on the sleeves to keep it clean sew the two sides of the rib knit together first, fold it in half, then attach it to the sleeve. It's pointless to line the entire jacket and still have raw edges, you know? Also if you're going to go the route you did with the lining, use a baste (bigger) stitch so that you won't have those seam lines in the fabric and you can pull that out and keep it clean with regards to stitching lines. Again, more for aesthetic purposes. I've only made one bomber/letterman jacket in my life (for a baby Gerber commercial) so watching this for an adult is super sick! Btw RIParadise to your grandma. 🙏🏾
+Ezequiel Ochoa such hostility towards someone that was giving him little pointers that would make his life easier...and his designs more professional. I've been in the industry for 11 years so I know the ins and outs. Don't try to play internet gangster...no one sent for him or you so don't come for me sweetheart. I actually used bits from his tutorial to make my first bomber so...where you at now?
This video is awesome. I'm a beginner sewer and I appreciate how you explain step by step what you need to do. A lot of other videos I've watched on sewing tutorials skip certain steps and/or don't explain things that are not obvious to a beginner. I feel a lot more confident of creating a jacket after watching this
+isela Santos You should. I recently made my own tent after thinking I would never do something like this (I'm a huge procastinator) and I saved myself hundreds of dollars. It was a pain in the ass but now I feel like I can make anything.

Ken, I got a little teary-eyed at the end. I'm so sorry for your lost. This is the greatest honor to carry on the legacy of our loved ones. I miss my grandma dearly. She sparked my interest in sewing. Her hand-sewing skills was impeccable. This is the best sewing tutorial from start to finish. Your pictorials illustrations, voice over, and visual step-by-step are awesome. I love everything about this bomber jacket. My condolences to you and your family. May your grandma rest in peace.
Could have saved a fortune had I known about your videos before enrolling in Fashion Design. Your way is so much easier to understand whereas the professors show you something that doesn't get straight to the point. RIP to your grandmum Thanks man.
FashionLY .Exposed I'm sorry to hear that. I always wanted to attend fashion school. Money problems and external conflicts kept me from it. I'm actually glad it did. My friends just finished their years and told me they didn't learn anything LOL. Thank you for your condolences.
your tutorial was a success. i just made a jacket for my 3 yr old. i have the lining left to complete but your directions were amazing. This is the first piece of clothing I've sewn. thanks to you it wont be my last.
This is fantastic. Thank you for putting it together. I can see it took significant time to prepare, shoot, edit, time stamp and publish. Its truly excellent and I can't thank you enough for your generosity with yours skills, creativity and expertise.
Oh wow. First off, WOW that jacket is awesome! Second of, amazing tutorial! Not a beat of waiting, not a moment of redundancy, just straight to the point. Beautiful!
Hey man, I've been keeping up with your videos for a while, and I have to say I'm really in awe as to how much you've progressed since starting out. I've watched all the way back from when you were doing custom hoodie pockets to custom hat brims, but this really blew my mind. I too have been making my own clothes following your tutorials, and it's through your videos that have inspired me to pursue a career in fashion. Keep doing what you're doing, you have the support of me and many others keeping up with your channel.
Very articulately explanation of how to make this jacket, Thank-you!!! I do think the comment about a baste stitch is excellent as I have just finished upholstering an intricate recliner and found the baste stitch a life saver... nice clean lines!!
You did a fantastic job at making a more complex project seem approachable for beginners. Very well done! You've just earned yourself a new subscriber.
OH MY GOSH this is legit the BEST sewing tutorial I have ever watched, you go over every detail and the way you explain the measurements was fantastic. Thank you for this!! I can't wait to use it for my next cosplay! :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial! My daughter wants to be Harley Quinn for Halloween but we couldn't find a jacket. I found two men's coats at a thrift store in the fabric colours needed. Then I just followed your awesome tutorial, and it turned out perfectly! What a lifesaver!
I've watched this tutorial some many times on different occasions and it's been a great help for me in making a puffer jacket rather than a bomber jacket but still a great help! thanks! R.I.P to your grandma also Great video!
omgoodness the jacket is great! i know it takes forever to actual make the jacket but it must be so nice to make the clothes you want; exactly how you would like it. awesome video.
AYEE BUT THAT BOMBER JACKET THO! This was by far one of the greatest tutorials ever. As soon as I learn to use and purchase a sewing machine I will try all of your tutorials. Thank you very much.
Where have you been all of my life. I was looking for a tutorial for denim elastic on jogger pants and stumbled upon your tutorial this video was thumbnailed below. I'm so excited. Ill be on your page all of the time now. I knew the basics of what your doing but you capture the details. Plus Joanns is my favorite store.
Hi Andrew!This is an AWESOME Tutorial; and your demonstration was thoroughly easy to follow.I have now learned how to sew; and will try my hand with this Bomber Jacket.Your Grandma is very Proud of you I know, Bless her Soul!Thanks A Million, Perpetual Success & God Continue to BLESS!~Add Love!™
+peter lee What kind of bomber jackets are we talking about here? I'm not exactly sure how much all this stuff cost in stores but you can get fabric, insulation, and accessories online for way lower than what most brand name jackets would sell for. Price also depends on the type of nylon as there are so many different weights, thicknesses, and levels of waterproofness/breathability that it can get confusing. Look up forums/threads where people make their own outdoor jackets/gear for hiking.
You cut the fabric in the wrong way, when you fold the the fabric those little holes and threads should be on the side of your pattern (templates), also you should fold it in where the pattern is inside the fold, for example your fabric is black and has flowers in one side and in the other is white, you should fold it and cut seeing the white part. If you want a nice finish in cuff don't fold it, sew it first and then fold with the already sewed part inside of it. Sorry if there's any grammar mistakes English is not my first language.
I was having such a hard time finding out how to make these templates without already having a bomber jacket. your video really helped me thank you keep making videos I love them.
AYEEE BUT DAT BOMBER JACKET DOE its mad sexy. i tried making one without any tutorials and it turned out okay, imma take a seam ripper and update it now. AYE ONE QUESTION DOE. could we sew the lining while putting the pieces together or is it better to do it the way you did? also R.I.P GRANNY KAD.
***** AYEE! You have to do it my way to prevent seams from showing. That's the only reason why I went this route. Otherwise, if you don't care about seams, you can do it your way. lol
Very good job man!!! I love it! Not only for the jacket, its too because of the way you show everything and explain it all! I would love to do it with shoes, I am making shoes, any kind. Keep on working!
Great job, the jacket is beautiful. Creations is off the chain. I'm just getting back to sewing, my next project is making a bomber jacket. I like this style indeed. 👍👏
subscribed! for something so complex for me, you have explained it so simply! I'm definitely going to give this a go! Thank you so much! so glad I found you!
I love how thorough you are with describing every little detail! It makes a big project seem doable for a newbie like me lol Thank you for making this video, I'm gonna use this along with tweaking some things for my particular jacket type, and make my cosplay. :)
This was a very precise and interesting video. Thanks for sharing your info. Appreciate it much because I never thought that there was batting used inside of the jacket. Wowwwwww.
I want to do this so bad but I can't decide what the sleeve fabric should be and I think I might try to make it by hand. I prefer to be able to do projects by hand rather than machine since I typically am doing crafts in the dead of the night when the family is sleeping.... I loved the video! Thank you!!!!
Making your own clothes is not always going to be the cheapest route. That's not what the point is though, when you create something, it is of your own. You made that!
It isn't. It's actually more expensive to make your own clothes lol. But thanks !
Thats true, but the beauty of it is, that your honing skills you probably didn't even know you had, your going to be making something that actually 'fits' right, and its going to be something totally individual that 'You' made!

Depending on where u live it is ...like Jamaica ...it's waay... wayyyyy cheaper to make it
surely that if you buy cheap shein shite as opposed to good clothes
I just stapled everything; looks great!
😭😂😂😂😂😂 fr
hahahaha
WTF DOES THAT MEAN
this shit sound so funny ...what did you staple jus fabric ??? 😂😂😂😂😂

Ongggg this is the best tutorial yet!!! Explaining everything and going into details!!! Thanyouuu
Nice, but the materials I need to buy could get me two decent bombers
+peter lee yeah
peter lee but then you'd have two bomber jackets exactly like everyone elses 👌
+peter lee What kind of bomber jackets are we talking about here?

The fabric wouldnt be really expensive. The sewing machine will be but it's a smart investment if you want to make your own clothes
Some thrift stores have fabric sections where you can find really cheap fabric
This was an amazing tutorial. So detailed and thorough. I'm going to try to make one for my daughter this week. Thank you!
If I was this good, I would never buy clothes.
Dboi 19xx i really don't buy clothes anymore lol
Excellent! Thank you for the tutorial, very clear and easy to understand.
thats fuckin sick dude. creative as fuck!
this is really dope! looks simple yet elegant!
Can you use jean fabric to make this?
Yes
xx xx thanks yeah I've been planning it out with old jeans from the thrift store that are way to big for me now
omg i have this floral lavender jean dress thats to small. great idea. any tips?
R.i.p to your grandma. My grandpa recently passed too. They both are in a better place now. R.i.p 🙏😞
