Using a PROJECTOR for sewing! (Chore jacket sew along) ✨

Описание: ***NOTE: the Paola workwear jacket pattern is no longer free. It was free at the time of producing this video. It's now $9.97.

Follow along as I make a cute patchwork chore jacket using a PDF pattern, thrifted denim fabric and an old movie projector.

Using a projector allows me to display my sewing pattern directly onto my cutting mat and fabric – no longer needing to print, tape and cut paper patterns.

In the long run, this will save so much time, money and pages of paper!

Hope you enjoy this projector sew-along and all the tips I share along the way!
