If you have watched all 30 episodes of our beginner sewing series, Teach Yourself to Sew, you have learned the skills necessary to make a jacket using Simplicity Pattern 2424.

Threads Senior Technical Editor, Judith Neukam demonstrates how to cut out a jacket pattern and follow the guide sheets to start making the jacket components in Make a Jacket: Part 1. Check back next week for Make a Jacket: Part 2 to see how all of the components come together to make a fabulous jacket. You may need to refer back to earlier episodes to brush up on your skills for some of the techniques, but you will also learn some new techniques as we work our way through this final project.

Teach Yourself to Sew is for beginning sewers or anyone who wants to brush up on their skills. Throughout the year we will demonstrate basic sewing techniques, share tips, and give step-by-step instruction for beginner sewing projects.

Congratulations to Threads for making this available. Judi's style is easy to understand, clear, and very practical. I'm an experienced seamstress, but am really enjoying the videos, just for a review of basics. Thanks again. Kay
