I'm reaching the end of my Waffle Tostie Jacket. I'd done two lovely plackets with the zip inserted, smoothed the right one across that covers the left and was nearly drooling, they were so perfect. Next the lining inserted. I've not used one pin on this project, just the clips as the fabric is shower proof and quite solid. I knew I hadn't got enough for all the way round so I've ordered some more, then discovered they were from China so might be longer. Just to see how things would match I did one side up to the top of the collar, flipping perfect. I went to the other side, no clips left but just to see that seams would match at the top.
It was then I noticed something was not quite right, fine on top but the underside wrong. I have no idea how it happened or why the heck I never noticed before. The left zip was fine on the top but somehow the underneath of the zip was showing. So I reached for the Mighty Stitch Ripper, my lovely Clover one. Thankfully it was relatively easy to rectify and I'm back to perfection. Sometimes I wonder where my brain disappears to.
At least I've sorted out how I'm doing the second collar with the faux fur on, or at least sorted out in my head. The jacket collar band has snaps inserted on the outside for the hood to attach to. I don't like hoods so I've reversed them and put on the inside. Then the second collar with the faux fur on top will have the corresponding snap inserted on the collar band. Sounds easy, just hope it works.
