Ladies Sewing Circle And Terrorist Society

@Gabrael: Thanks. Tomorrow is October 2.

Is this the official girls' thread?

Necroing this ancient thread to solve my dilemma:

I'm fixing to sew myself a coat/jacket based on the one the Ace Trainer wears in the Pokemon Let's Go spinoff games (my visual reference◊).

It wouldn't be my first jacket sewing project, but it would be my first attempt at a long jacket, and it would definitely count as my first attempt at modifying a coat pattern (the nearest thing I've done is making a tunic for a Link costume, years ago).

Any ideas on a pattern I can start with, or any guides on making longer jackets?

I mean, this will sound obvious, but Simplicity has some great patterns, especially if it's your first time making a jacket like that.

I was mostly hoping someone might be able to suggest a specific pattern to modify (ideally one which already has seams where all the accents are).

I've already found a pretty simple tutorial on how to make a jacket asymmetric (which should hopefully work on a longer jacket, since the side seams don't appear to be attached past the hips anyway), so that's one part down.

That and pray it actually works IRL.

Sorry to double post and necro at the same time, but I have another sewing issue.

It's my friends' baby shower in 2 weeks time, and I wanted to make a plushie. I already have quite a bit of fleece, and some stuffing left over from a previous project, but I've never made one before.

Any suggestions for tutorials?
