Friday 7th May Class

I attempted to sew the coat lining in class today. Unfortunately the machines were not co-operating as I spent almost an hour just to try and get one working properly. When it did, the machine almost ate my lining up as it was quite delicate. Therefore I thought it would be better just to go home and use my domestic machine!



When I sewed the lining together I thought it was almost like a dress. I placed it one the stand and I really liked the way the silk held the shape, creating a lovely silhouette.

By the end of the night I managed to sew in the zip, collar and attach the lining to the shell. All that is left to do with the coat is:

• Place pleat at back
• Insert shoulder pads
• Insert hem facings
• Hem whole garment!
