However, sewing a product with your own hands is a special pleasure - you can experiment with shape and color, adjust the thing to your figure.

Instructions
Step 1
Choose a simple and practical jacket pattern. You can take a ready-made scheme from the sewing manual as a basis, or use old clothes by ripping them along the inseam. Carefully calculate the size, not forgetting about the freedom of fit - after all, you will put on the product on a thick sweater.
Step 2
It is recommended to make the following cut details: - large: left and right shelves; back; a pair of shelf yokes; back yoke; left and right sleeves; hood (middle, sides and edging); - small (they can be cut out of the remnants of the material): patch pockets with leaves; double stand-up collar; valves on the hood and sleeves; double zipper strip; a pair of piping on the sleeves and hem. Clothes made from these details can be made for a child and an adult of any gender; it is enough to adjust the length, color and, if necessary, make a drawstring at the waist.
Step 3
Find the right materials for your winter jacket. You will need a front and backing material. A cut of dense polyester is good as an upper fabric; for the lining (including the lower collar), you can take a fleece cloth. Depending on the desired thickness of the codend, select the number of layers of sealant. It is good to decorate the hood with an edging made of a strip of natural or artificial fur.
Step 4
Cut out the details of the cut - the "face" of the jacket, lining and warm filling. Next, you need to put one layer of insulation on each cut off part and sew it with a regular horizontal line with long stitches. Attach other warm layers (from two to four) with a coarse mesh to the lining.
Step 5
Sew the pockets to the front of the jacket. To do this, scribble leaflets to the seamy side of the burlap. For volume, you can put a thin layer of insulation inside the drowning leaf. Sew both parts of the patch pocket to the front of the product; you can also add a tight piping along the seam for a more professional look. Use it to process the lower edge of the sleeves.
Step 6
Make the main joining seams of the product and proceed with small but important details. To keep the jacket well protected from the wind, sew on the flaps on the hood and sleeves. Rivet metal buttons on them. If you do not have a special punch for rivets and eyelets, buy special tongs from the sewing accessories department to install such fasteners.
Step 7
Work carefully: make a hole in the jacket fabric with a smaller diameter than the button; press down the parts of the fittings exactly and try not to damage the front part. To do this, before pressing the button, you can apply a piece of thin rubber (for example, a sanitary gasket).
Step 8
Sew a split zip fastener onto the jacket. Be sure to hand baste first so that the planks and fastener pieces are neatly aligned. Then sew a stitch from the stand-up collar downwards.
Step 9
Fold a strip of fur (cut along the length of the edge of the hood) in half along the longitudinal line and sew to the fabric strip by hand or on a sewing machine. Sew one part of the detachable zipper to the fabric; Sew the second part to the lower edge of the hood. To fasten it to the jacket, make another detachable zipper along the front side of the cut-out line.
Step 10
Finally, sew the lining of the homemade jacket with insulation down to the base fabric; process a hem 1, 5 cm wide at the bottom. All you have to do is insert an elastic cord with a special retainer tip into it (as well as into the hem of the hood).
