In the wardrobe / Re: Lining a boil-in-the-bag coat

Thanks peeps  0_0

Guess what?  I didn't have enough mesh fabric, so I've done a real bodge job and just lined the sleeves by sewing it to the armhole seam allowance  :laughing:

In the wardrobe / Lining a boil-in-the-bag coat
« on: July 13, 2021, 15:51:35 PM »
I bought a very thin waterproof coat, it says it's breathable, but it has no lining.
I've tried wearing it twice and it's been wetter on the inside (particularly the sleeves) than the outside, yuk!

I have some mesh lining fabric and I've traced a pattern off the front, back, and sleeves.  Would I make this lining the same size as the coat, or a bit looser?  The coat is a loose fit, and the sleeves nice and wide, and the lining has a certain amount of give.

I think I'd try the seam sealing glue type thing, rather than tape.

Looks good - are you going to seal the seams?

Oooh, you definitely need the featherweights down at least.

I'm intrigued with your thread title, I've never heard the word sazzerfrazzin...  :S

Would an unstructured jacket suit you better, something like a waterfall front in a very soft drapey fabric?

Hello, good afternoon, and welcome.
Well done with the t-shirts, stretch jersey isn't the easiest thing to sew.

I quite like V1817, although I did have to compare the line drawings to the top I'm currently wearing to see the difference.  The Tie coat is fun, but I'd never achieve a good enough finish with all those bits sewn on.

Enjoy!  You don't have to justify new machine purchases here  :laughing:

I know you said you've used some foam, but would more/thicker foam help?

I'm loving seeing the progress on your fabulous dress - you must have the patience of a saint to do all that fiddly hand sewing so very well.

No suggestions for the jacket ( well, actually, me being me, I'd not line it, and I'd do normal machine buttonholes), but you have the same clock my parents had  0_0
