Here are some sewing patterns which would be suitable for beginner sewists who want to make something more stylish to add to their wardrobe. Each sewing pattern is from an Indie pattern company who give clear instructions about how to sew the item. In this video I show you a wrap skirt with no zippers or buttons, a wrap dress, elasticated trousers and a jumpsuit, all of which can be sewn by a confident beginner. I also made some thermal lined curtains which I've included at the end of this video, as they were part of my July makes for 2020.

![How to make a wool coat step by step DIY
This is a video all about the construction of my latest wool coat, where I show you how to make fitting adjustments such as a narrow shoulder adjustment and a bicep adjustment. I am using the sewing pattern Vogue V9133 which is an easy to sew blazer but I have turned it into a wool winter coat by adding a lining and sewing a horsehair canvas as interfacing to the lapels, rather than using fusible. This coat was made over a number of days which you will see due to the shifts in lighting and outfits. This shows you step by step how to make a coat using tailoring techniques.
I am mostly a self taught sewist who is learning through sewing different things, so if you are interested in following my progress then I update my Instagram stories more regularly:

The wool fabric was given to me by https://www.minerva.com in exchange for a blog post which you will find on their new website:

Horsehair canvas was purchased from William Gee:

All notions and the pattern were purchased by myself.
