Ladies, I'm back in the ring!
That Doughtys Japanese reversible fabric that Brenda sooo craftily waved under our noses earlier this week
(you naughty lil minx Brenda!!!
) is just too gorgeous too resist and rumagging through the old trunk from my years gone by, guess what I found ???
So I'm going for it...
Questions;
There's tons of pattern pieces for facings but I want to make this a simple reversible Jacket....
Am I being stupid here, it has occurred to me that armhole seams might not be easily made neat.
I was thinking of french seaming and then stitching the french seams flat on sides seams etc. ... thoughts???
Should I cut another facing for the neck/shoulder area (see how fluent I am in the rag trade lingo ...NOT) out of the fabric and stitch it down flat rather then leaving it flapping around
I see some of you are actually covering up your eyes in disbelief now...and was that a "Oh Good Grief" I heard from the direction of the North East??????
Don't worry about the fact the collar thingymies are not on the seam, they are in my eyes ... I mean how was I to know they printed different collar patterns for all the different sizes???
Also how long should the sleeves be...If I measure the pattern piece for the sleeves it comes out as 24 3/4" !!!!
I must be a midget or something as my arms from shoulder to wrist is about 20"!!!
What should a 3/4 length sleeve measure ???
