Now I am actually resewing that seam, the fact that I have been able to use the invisible zip opening to turn the blazer inside out has solved quite a few problems, first seam sewn, now about to tackle the underarm part of the armhole, then it is the lining. The blazer is a Marks and Spencer school one and guess where it was made - India. However the thread that they always seem to use is so thin and often it is a chain stitch, which as we all know once that starts unravelling it is a pain to try and stop, however, the fabric was stitched with an ordinary machine stitch thank goodness, not sure yet what and how the lining is stitched. I am fighting ravelling fabric and lots of ironed on interfacing, some unravelling coarse weave stuff, some felt and it is horrible to say the least - nothing neatened at all on the actual blazer but guess what they have overlocked the seams on the lining.
