In this #FridaySews chat I’m leaning right into seasonal sewing—those fall fashion projects that make you want to live in your handmade clothes. I’m spotlighting the Know Me pattern ME2089 (designed by Brittany J. Jones), which is a cropped trench-style jacket with all the yummy details: a button front, a wide collar, optional shoulder tabs, and that statement belt with grommets and a prong buckle. There are two views, and View B even has a rain shield—perfect if you want that practical “fall jacket” vibe without losing the style. I also share a little fabric haul excitement, because I’ve been live shopping on the Whatnot app. It’s an interactive, real-time buying experience where you can ask questions, bid, and snag vintage and unique finds—exactly the kind of thing I love for thrift flips and upcycles. And since sewing is always better with friends, I mention joining the American Sewing Guild (ASG) for community and encouragement. To round things out, I talk about what I’m currently working on, including a sweet Christmas Candle Mini Quilt and the NOVA Bomber Jacket pattern. If you’re planning your fall makes, this video is all about picking patterns with great details, hunting fabric in fun places, and keeping your project list moving—one cozy stitch at a time.
