Hi folks, in this weeks video I show how I sewed my Chanel “STYLE” Jacket. Please note I am strictly an amateur sewist and as such I have used various resources (see below) to help me complete this project. I hope you find the video useful. Susanne💕

Chains - I understand that the purpose of the chain on an original Chanel Jacket is to weight the hem allowing the lines of the jacket to fall as designed. The chain used here is decorative.
