Part Five - Sewing a Couture French Jacket / First Fit and Closing Patterned Fabric

This is part five in a series of tutorials showing how to create a full Couture French Jacket, from start to finish at home. It includes all the steps plus tips and tricks that I teach In- person at our classes in the studio and much more. This video shows how we begin to close our jackets. I created a muslin/toile using the studio seam-free pattern option, included in our digital downloadable patterns. For this video, I am using the Joan and the Amelia French Jacket. Our Papermaple Workshop Community, which launched on February 23rd, includes a monthly live French Jacket clinic, where I answer any questions and help with muslin fittings as you sew your Joan and Amelia jackets. I'll also be adding a French Jacket Sew-Along starting in May, included in the price of membership. Enjoy! #quilting #quiltingfrenchjackets #couturesewing
