Sewing tips for your masterpiece

To make your jacket or coat project a success, here are some tried-and-tested tips:

1. Choosing the right fabric

Depending on the sewing pattern different materials are suitable:

• Lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen for airy summer jackets
• Softshell & fleece for wind- and water-repellent outdoor jackets
• Boiled wool & wool for warm coats with natural insulation
• Quilted fabrics for cosy, lined jackets

2. Tools ready?

Good equipment makes sewing easier:

• Sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter
• Tape measure & tailor's chalk for accurate cutting
• Matching thread & a sturdy needle for thick fabrics
• Clips or pins for holding the pattern pieces precisely in place

3. Step by step to success

1. Transfer sewing patterns for women's jackets and coats correctly: use pattern paper or a tracing wheel for precise lines.
2. Read the instructions: Sounds simple, but saves a lot of mistakes!
3. Sew a test piece: especially with new patterns, a test in inexpensive fabric is worthwhile.
4. Clean edges & seams: finish the fabric edges with a zigzag stitch or overlock for a professional look.
5. Don't forget the details: pockets, belts or button plackets give the coat the finishing touch.

Small mistakes? No stress!

Everyone sews a crooked seam sometimes – a seam ripper is your best friend. And if you get stuck: take a deep breath, have a short break and carry on. Sewing is supposed to be fun, after all!
