Suggestions for jackets/coats:

If you get a technique you really like from one pattern, add it to others (for example I really like the Charlotte Emma "Barberry" jacket, and it has lots of useful tailoring tricks, like adding a pleat to the centre back lining, a full facing including the back of the neck and the hem etc. I've made a couple of the M6800 coat, extending it to full length all round, adding a centre back pleat in the lining, a neck facing (gives a nicer finish than fitting the lining directly into the collar), and drafting a full hem facing (2" deep), which gives a lovely neat finish, and somewhere to sew the lining to. Or do a bias-tape-faced hem (Frumble do 4cm wide polycotton bias tape in oodles of colours). Stole a back-stay from the Princess coat (also helped with drafting the hem facing).

Satin bias-tape makes a lovely flat piping finish between the facings and the lining. It's usually 18 mm wide, so if you put one edge along the edge of the fabric, it will have a nice 3mm wide line when the coat is worn, with a standard 15mm seam allowance (often seen in higher end RTW).

Make friends with hand-sewing, it's much more flexible for fiddly bits (like understitching the facing around corners, putting set-in sleeves in etc). Also buttonholes in multiple layers of wool, when you've also got big fancy buttons. Use Anchor stranded cotton (or similar), make the buttonholes a feature.
Consider flat-lining/underlining fabric if it's a bit lighter than you want for the garment (for full-length coats, go down as far as the low hips). Cotton lawn for linen, calico for wool. Match the colour.
Woven cotton iron-on interfacing is your friend (won't melt under the iron... ask me how I know!).

Use the funky lining fabric! Except for sleeves (which really need something slippery), you can line jackets/coats in whatever you want. Dinosaur-print quilting cotton? Go for it.

Don't be afraid to draft a lining if there isn't one (other patterns with linings in will help you for this).

Nice jackets and fabric, Lucy! 😘

Great suggestions Lucy. I love the Oslo style too and your fabric suggestions 😊

Thank you for sharing these patterns. I have several heavier weight fabrics in my stash that I didn’t really know how to use. Now I have a list of patterns to use to actually sew up my fabrics!

You’ve shown some great jacket patters, Lucy! I hope the situation with shipping to the US gets resolved soon. I want to order more from you. 😘

Absolutely love your bomber jacket!

A jacket & a matching skirt ( or trousers) what could be more chic & put together!

Loved this one, thanks for putting it together! 🧥

Lucy! You have sent me down a rabbit-hole that I did not expect! Thank you for this inspirational video. Now, I am off to find the right pattern ....

Love your animal print jacket Lucy, it looks fab on you. Lots of inspiration and fabrics there. I have a pattern lined up to make, just need fabric and time! I have made quite a few jackets and a coat in the past, so looking forward to my next project 🪡

Wow! Fabulous mix of jackets. I love the Oslo jacket. A very inspiring video, thank you.

I’m terrible for falling in love with material and then struggling to pick a pattern. Lots of ideas for the plaid wool that’s waiting patiently beside my machine

Thank you so much for the inspiration Lucy,and I was so happy to see the gorgeous pink jacket fabric that I ordered from you a week ago.I am so happy with it ❤

Great fabrics and the patterns are beautiful. Thank you for your work

Love your jacket!

I have made 3 Pattern Emporium Downtown jackets. I also have the Mcalls pattern. I have made Claire Schaeffer's tailored blazer which was a real learning curve. What I would really like to make is a Duster coat similar to the Downtown Jacket but full length in either the mustard check fabric or a beautiful russet brown.

great video! thank you! I've sewn the Oslo coat - it's a great design. I made it slightly longer. would probably put the pockets a bit higher next time and add some sleeve length but that's just how it fitted me. highly recommend the Closet Core coat-making online course - so many sewing gems in it and it doesn't matter if you're not sewing the Phoebe coat - you'll still find it invaluable

Awesome suggestions Lucy!  I love the Oslo pattern with the red plaid, and that black quilted fake leather fabric would be amazing.  I've always loved the swing coats that Lucy wore on I Love Lucy.  Have you seen any patterns for a gorgeous midi length swing coat?  I remember her wearing a baby blue colored swing coat in an episode.  The fashion of the 1960's was some of the best we've ever had.

Hi Lucy, I’m loving your channel! Have you any of the mustard plaid wool left? I can’t see any in your online store would love to use to make a coat for the upcoming winter in Australia!  Thanks!

I’ve been thinking of finally getting around to making up the bomber jacket pattern in my stash.  It’s going to stay on hold as temperatures here in my part of California are hovering around 95f(35c).
