There is an excellent Colourmart Ravelry group (I went to the website your excellent guest mentioned) and Engineering Knits here on YT has several knitting machines and is an excellent resource I think. Rachel Maksy also decided to get busy with her late grandmother’s machine recently too. I re,ember being a young child and my late mother trying to decide whether she’d get one or not (she was fairly big on getting craft gadgets) and discussing the idea with me. Oddly, she never taught me to knit or sew, despite having the skills etc, because I was left handed, so her stepmother taught me to knit, but when I got back into it, I largely taught myself to do this and to sew (with one machine lesson to get me over my fear of them), but one of my best memories is of her teaching me how to do short rows, although she tried to do it for me (I was in my 30s), looking so fond of me as I struggled through my first pair of socks and she knitted a hellishly complicated knit dress for my sister.

I am brand new to this whole spinning thing. Your video was highly informative and delivered in an interesting and entertaining way. Thank you!! This was very helpful!

You're giving 'responsible-ish experienced chaos goblin' and I love it. YOLO sewing is my favorite; happy to find someone else who sews with the 'eh, it'll still do that I need it to do' mindset. Love it!

Thank you. I followed almost all of your tutorial and made a great petticoat that also works as a skirt.

Thank you. Your explanations are very clear.

Wallet, keys, phone, whatever has been handed to me in the last five minutes and a small paperback in case of boredom. Pockets are the best!

I love this style of skirt I would love to use this to make my wedding skirt what fabric would you suggest also I am an absolute begginer I can sew a straight line but that really is about all I can do.

I LOVE this!! I've been wanting a coat like this for years but haven't quite gotten the courage to go for it yet

Anything that can go into a pocket does go into a pocket. Keys, phone, trash to throw away when I am near a trash bin, screws, paperclips, coins, buttons, combs, pens, pencils, sunglasses, gloves, hats, scarves... you get the idea.

Pockets! I love dresses and skirts with pockets.

Excellent! So glad you made this video.

Great concept and video! So, I hate that I am way too tired right now to focus on following along so gonna stop watching for now but only because I want to realize what’s been discussed (let alone remember 😅). I will still get to it ❤

I'd love to make this with as much swish as a full circle skirt! Can it be done?

Any tips on choosing fabric for the ties that will actually hold the knots?

This reminds me a bit of Ally's Qiyao Ruqun (齊腰襦裙) skirt video.

Does Gee possess a hat? (Possibly on my mind because I’m in the throes of getting together a hat for one of my outfits.). They can be quite useful in defining a character, and also useful, if brimmed, for keeping the sun out of your eyes!

Beautiful. You weren't kidding about adding capes😬

Stitch like capes.

I’m a huge cape fan😂 I love how yours drape. Much much nicer than I expected with fabric that thick and that many layers. I haven’t seen much with actual wool due to a combination of pricetag and allergies. Possibly my inexperience with the fabric is why I was surprised by how lovely it draped.

Thank u for the inches measurements

I love the caped coat!

This is the first time I've run across your channel and it's so interesting to see your coat design becoming reality. Your sewing and patterning techniques are very instructive making me want to try my hand at actually sewing a dress instead of just heading off to walmart. The capes drape beautifully. Thank you for sharing.

I re started sewing a few months ago. I spent 10 bucks on the cheapest scissors I could find, my grandpa sharpened it for me and they’re going strong 😎👍🏼

Capes are perfect, and so iconic!

You look like you joined the 4 horse club! Yay! All the capes!

You look magnificent! Always say yes to capes!

Capes. Tricorne hat. Pistols.

Thank you for explaining why NOT a removable cape. As soon as you said it, I loved the idea. But yeah... I'd probably be unsatisfied with the result of that too. The "can unpick it w/o damaging the garment" option is a fantastic option for maximum longevity.

LOVE the capes! They provide a more masculine silhouette while adding some whimsy. They look quite heavy though, so I wouldn't want to wear them myself. 😅

You very much make me feel better about my pattern and fabric stash 😂. We won’t talk about the wool or the books

Forever mr. Darcy (era)! ❤ Love the capes.

I like the crinkles; gives the silk character.

Lovely! And as someone who lived through the late 90s with convertible everything, I whole heartedly agree with the choice to not button on the capes- a convertible item just means that the one way you wear it 90% of the time is that much worse to accommodate the concessions for the other way it is worn 10% of the time.

The capes make the coat. X

Actually, they have reprinted "The Cut of Men's Clothes" as an eBook only in 2023. Which is annoying for us who like print books. Love the capes... well done. :)

I love the accordion fold trick for laying out a long stretch of fabric. Thank you. That coat is everything. Every excuse, any hint of chill in the air, and on goes that coat. Absolutely brilliant. And? All the capes. All the time... most excellent. The contrasting lining is lovely. At the moment I'm alternating between the balcony kitchen container garden and hand sewing some light wool cobalt-blue crepe into a 1950's dolman sleeve blouse. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

I like the movement the capes give! 💜

It looks great. That stand-up collar frames your face handsomely.

Yay capes! I agree, it looks much better with them. And I very much relate to being too opinionated to do polls for projects. Every time I think about doing a poll I end up realizing that I already know how I want to do the thing in question.

Not me opening my preferred historical fabric store in another tab to see if there would be something delectable for a cape lining, but especially in something that it would look really good to toss the cape across one shoulder so the lining shows... Yay capes!

You are such a rockstar for this one 😭🙏✨

You look fabulous.

Yes pleace. I'm dreaming of a Regence mens coat ever since I read Gorette Hayer as a teen. In the mid 80tes losts outfits were inspired by the regence and impier men fashon like Prince in Purple Rain.

Hard agree with your cape opinions!! I literally have a cape WIP in my lap rn. I shall all endeavour to make a coat with capes when I eventually get that far in my sewing skill tree 😊yours is majestic ✨

Thanks! More please (part 2).

Capes are now on my horizon! Thanks! ❤❤

I am reminded of all my favourite Georgette Heyer heroes who wore a 'many caped driving coat'. I am here for it. Love it! 🩵🩵🩵

The coat was nice enough, but the capes elevate it to a much better level. I'm glad you ignored my vote to make the capes removable.

such a cool coat!
