I'm making this topic to track my attempts at making B6244, view A
I found some cheap but very nice looking coat fabric (probably poly). The only problems with it are that it doesn't hold a crease well and that it's rather bulky.
It requires seams to be flat felled, so I've practiced on a few scraps and I'm happy to say I feel confident.
What I did was use some wonder tape (double sticky tape that dissolves when washing) to help me with the folding, and after that it was smooth sailing.
Since it does not have a facing, it requires a narrow hem. Which is fun to do with a bulky fabric that doesn't hold a crease
So I've used wonder tape some more and made mitered corners, because there was no way I could fold so many layers neatly (and trust me, I gave it a fair shot!).
Today I plan on tracing and cutting the pattern, and maybe do some sewing. We'll see what time I have left.
Wish me luck!
