 Butteric 6386 Lisette windbreaker sew along how exciting and today it's all about finishes We're not gonna do a ton of sewing. We're just gonna talk through Drawstrings we're gonna talk through stoppers. We're gonna talk through all those little finishing details That are going to ensure that your windbreaker Looks Phenomenal inside and out top to bottom no matter Who's looking at it the most critical sewist of all sewists or your grandma who just loves everything that you make anyways? So let's head to the cutting table and we'll start talking through some of these details All right, so today's video is just about all these little finishing details That we've got to ensure that you have a beautiful jacket inside and out The first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go through and clip any of the threads that I just Happen to miss as I was going I I try and clip the threads, but you guys know Sometimes you just get so excited and you don't and you don't get around to it or you forget to do it So I'm gonna go through and clip any loose threads that I find To kind of clean it all up inside and out Okay, now I'm gonna start removing all this basting stitching I've got some on the sleeves from where we basted those seam allowances for the casing so I'm gonna remove all of that and then I'm also going to remove the basting stitches that are holding the little reinforcement piece of fabric underneath our buttonholes So all of this is gonna come out. Don't forget to remove the basting stitches on the hood as well as the hem and Then if you remember from whenever I made the zipper way back in the second video of this series I had Offset my basting stitches so that they would be really easy to pull out So now I'm gonna be pulling those out as well Okay, and once you get that done Then it is time to cut open your Buttonholes now you'll notice that I didn't cut my buttonholes open as we were sewing this and That's because I wanted to make sure that since this is my first time making this jacket that the buttonholes ended up in the right places I didn't want to cut holes in my fabric until I knew for sure that That was how they were going to stay so in future versions I probably would cut this open before I attach the hood to the jacket But because I didn't that's okay. We can easily cut these open now So I'm gonna put a pin through the top of the buttonhole like so and that's gonna prevent my seam ripper from going too far into the buttonhole seam so Just use the knife of your seam ripper and Put it through The buttonhole like so and you just want to make sure that you're getting through all the fibers of the jacket There we go, and then move the pin To the other side and make sure that you're getting All the way through that area as well now we have four buttonholes to do so Do this for all four Okay, I'm having a hard time getting the pin through on that one So I'm gonna show you an alternate way now you need super sharp scissors in order to do this But you were going to clip into the buttonhole Like ever so slightly We're just trying to get through like one layer of fabric here. So once you've got that opened Then you can use your scissors to cut open the rest like that It's one half and then you come get the other half after that All right, so everything should be cleaned up and your buttonhole should be cut open So now it's time to install our Coating so I Got shoe strings Which I know sounds really bizarre But I found that these look really good you can get them in a ton of colors different widths lots of different lengths and They're cheap. They were really really inexpensive So I will link the exact ones that I am using here It's also really cool because you don't need to attach us a Safety pin or anything and this is gonna serve as our little lead to get it through our hood I Swear you will always find loose loose threads So mine has like a right side your wrong side kind of sort of so I'm gonna try and honor that but Because the ends of shoe strings are finished off with these little plastic things I'm gonna have a really pretty end to mine as well. Now if you don't that's okay You can just tie off little knots on the bottom, but either attach a Safety pin to the end of your cording and feed it through like I'm doing now or But if yours doesn't have a You know Something plastic or whatever on the end just attach the safety pin just like we did for the elastic in the sleeves and Feed it through that way for the him. I'm gonna try a tool that I have that I love And if it ends up working out I'll link that in the description box as well, all right And there you have it. That is our hood Cording how cool does that look? I love the shoe strings as like an affordable Option for cording I will definitely be doing that now. Okay, so for the him I want to try and use this clover tool that I have I can't remember I think it's called a clip-in glide clip-in glide bodkin or something like that And if this works like I think it will I'll link it in the description box The only thing about the clip-in glide that I don't like is because it has this mechanism on the end You can only use it on like rather large Cacings Anything less than an inch. I don't think it would work. Oh It might not even go through our buttonhole it does hold on to the The cording or whatever you're using really really well So you can trust that you can be rough with it and it's not going to whoops, and it's not going to Unclip right that was much faster Just try and get these a little bit even and then we've got our Him cording in as well So so cool. All right Then if you put in a label like I did I'm going to come in here and hand stitch this closed because right now it's just kind of flopping around So I'll hand stitch that down Oh, I can't forget our cord stops Another fun little detail of this pattern. So these are ones that I got from joanne But they have There are others online that you can get like metal ones. You can get different colored ones But basically they work with a little spring mechanism And you just make sure that you get this hole lined up with this hole And then you should be able to slide your Cording in now if you Don't have like a plastic end on your cording. You're going to want to wrap some tape or something like that around Just to make sure that you can get it through like that And this just ensures that if you close up your hood, you know and you make the uh The uh hood tight that you'll be able to keep this keep it tight with the little cord stop really really neat So I have four of those. Um, obviously one for each end of the cord All right, you guys there. She is our finished jacket How proud are you? You should be so proud of yourself. Let's all take a moment To express gratitude For our minds and our bodies that we're able to carry us through this process. You guys this pattern is not Super simple. It is not for the faint of heart. There were lots of challenging moments. I went through them I'm assuming you went through them too, but maybe a little bit less since I was able to help you out with them Um, but yeah, you have a windbreaker that you made all by yourself It's truly amazing and I know I am so proud of you Um tomorrow I am going to be revealing the finished version of my Jacket. I will be wearing it modeling it talking about the pattern Talking about just my kind of general thoughts about how it all came together So if you want to reveal with me tomorrow Feel free to do that if you do decide to post whether it's a progress pic or a picture of it on your mannequin Or hanging on a hanger or on your body in any way Um, feel free to use the hashtag itl.
