Hello everyone, welcome to my sewing room and my channel Stash Stitcher! In this continuation video, I'm taking you step-by-step through sewing the McCall's 8121 biker jacket, a fantastic addition to your sewing projects. This sewing tutorial focuses on sewing a zipper into the sleeve and correcting a previous mishap with the sleeve opening. I share sewing techniques to help you master the construction, and I'll show you exactly how to sew each step, inspiring you to create your own jacket with confidence.

I'm making this jacket to go with my Pattern Emporium Easy Does It Skirt and my pattern-matched B6747 shirt.
