Heyhey,
so here are the next steps for the jacket. Only thing left to do next week is to sew the lining into the jacket. Getting close!
as I said, I was to lazy to do the slit, but scroll down and you can vote for jacket sleeve slit tutorials
so I pinned that slit fabric together and marked the line down to the hem
and sewed it
then I marked the normal seam allowance
and cut the additional fabric off
next I pinned the facing all around the neckline
sew and cut the seam allowance in at the curves
iron all seam allowances apart and the hems up
the lining stays the same
the jacket with right side out until now
fold the facing and pin the hem and sew until 1seam allowance before the edge of the facing
then fold over at that seam and sew the hem length down
so it looks like a clean edge, and cut into the seam allowance so it will look like this
then fold the hem over to show the seam allowance at the hem
and sew them together, as close as to the original seam as possible, and sew the down half, you need the upper half to sew the lining to it, but this way the hem will stay up, do that at all seams that go down to the hem and also at the sleeves
looks like this
Any questions are very welcome. Stay tuned for next week: how to sew the hem into the jacket and the finished project.
keep sewing and smiling
