As promised, here are a few of the construction pics showing how the lining is attached. More pics are shown in previous posts for the jacket body and sleeve.
I eliminated all facings and cut a full lining, then bagged and quilted the jacket body. I also used a lightweight fusible interfacing called Sheerweft to stabilise the fabric. For the 2-piece sleeves I sewed the elbow seam (with ease) then quilted the lining and fabric while flat, then hand stitched the remaining lining seam (after machine stitching the fabric seam). I plan to trim and finish the armhole with a bias strip.
Thank you so much for answering my question!!! I was about to have a come-a-part. I want a professional looking product, but can't spare to many hours of work. Thanks again. I am following your lead.

ReplyDeleteOh, I love your fabric even more now that I see the jacket almost done! The sleeves look perfect, and I really like the shape of your jacket.
ReplyDeleteI finished my coat almost a month ago, and now I'm meditating whether I should make another Chanel jacket for my mom. Maybe I'll take another tour with you, girls! :)
