I haven't sewn a jacket in over a decade, but I still got the basics. Here's the jacket I'm working on for Dear Daughter. She's requested a fake fur dalmatian lined jacket with a red fur collar. So far I've got the shell assembled, and it's ready to have a fitting. We're about to leave for Bochum so we'll get to do the fitting today. There's a small black-lined collar attached that will support the fur collar when I've got that done. With a little luck, I'll be able to attach the fur collar with buttons, so I can embroider and quilt some other collars that she can change when she likes.
Among the techniques I've still got:
- How to attach the inner and outer calendar
- How to ease a princess seam
- How to ease a sleeve cap
- How to tuck the sleeve into the jacket to baste
- How to baste a sleeve in properly (the left sleeve of the jacket)
- How to baste a sleeve in crooked and gathered in the wrong places (the right sleeve of the jacket)
Oh well, that's why frog-stitching exists.
