Thank you for this pattern review - I think I'll eliminate the underlay as you mention, and I might try it with a very lightweight wool in my stash.Ingrid KV Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357668181484669053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-58692518875837518332020-01-20T16:39:32.495-05:002020-01-20T16:39:32.495-05:00GAHHHHHHHH this is gorgeous!

That wool is absolutely stunning as is the tailoring. <br /><br />Good to know about the underlay - I suspected it could be eliminated but am glad to know for sure. My fabric is a cotton woven with nooooo drape.

I think this jacket was trying to mimic what I see people wearing on the ski slopes in tech fabrics that are thin and weigh nothing. They often have these zipped up underlays. I say give it a shot with a lighter weight fabric and no underlay.

I makes such a difference in the feel of the garment on one's body. This one feels like the Chanel jackets I have made, yummy.

We were able to buy at the class and it came in different widths. I put one edge on the fabric edge and did a running stitch there to secure. The other edge was cut longer and went a bit past the fold of the hem. That edge was secured with a catch stitch. Care was taken not to smash the sleeve edge and let it keep its roll.The Chanel jackets we inspected (there were plenty) had it in all of the edges, CF, hems and cuffs.

You sent me off on a hunt for 'wiggan' which turned out to be 'wigan' which of course, in the UK, just kept bringing up the town Wigan. Sigh. By adding Claire Schaeffer's name to the search I got to a free online copy of her book, and eventually found it. Yes. Ahem. Wigan is used inside cuffs and hems. Not helpful. More hunting and I find out that it's wide, bias-cut, sew-in interfacing...and does not seem to be available in the UK at all. Oh dear. Not to worry, I'll just have to cut my own bias strips, not so convenient, but I can cope lolDementedFairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849506916345114927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-40874849284550676702020-01-19T08:05:35.056-05:002020-01-19T08:05:35.056-05:00Thanks, Graca.

First, WOW, this looks fantastic. Love the fabric you chose, it looks great on you. I can't believe you lined it, what a great idea! It looks great inside as well. And good call on shortening the height of the collar. I wish I did that on mine, but I wasn't smart enough to do a muslin first. Ah, it's so pretty and perfect for the season.
