Hello and welcome to day 2 of the Ollie Bomber Jacket Sew Along! Today is a pretty easy day, so you should be able to jump right in even if you haven’t sewn your pockets yet! (Click on DAY 1 below for the pocket videos and then hop back on over here once your pockets are sewn.) We are sewing our main construction of our jacket today (main and lining) as well as our hood (if you are making a hooded version).
VIDEOS
Sewing the Main Construction (shoulders, sleeves, side seams, waistband)
A little tip! Alternatively, you can leave a 4” opening in the lining SIDE SEAM to turn your jacket right-side-out if you don’t want to deal with it in the waistband.
Again, if you have any questions, please post them below or on the daily thread in the SALS Facebook Group!
Happy sewing!
Cheers!
