and I am using Simplicity 2250
This time, I cut a size 12, much better. One thing about this jacket, it is unlined, I am fine with that. The front panel is the only part that is lined, self fabric. The Simplicity instructions have you layer the facing wrong side together and then handstitch the facing under at the shoulder seams and front seam.
Instead, I stitched the shoulder seams of the front and back. Then I layered the facing right side to the wrong side of the back, stitching over the previous stitching line.
I used steam-a seam to hold the binding in place, keeps it from slipping when I stitch-in-the ditch.
The jacket is finished and will be up on the Mood Sewing Network this week.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe I never thought of using steam a seam to hold binding in place! I use it for practically everything else! It really is a pretty color, Lori. No doubt it's going to be pretty cute!
