| cutting the jacket's bodice lining |
I've been concerned about the possibility of the burgundy cotton, in the jacket's inner layer, staining the almost optical taffeta white. The shirt won't be used without the jacket, but still, I'd like my outfits to be of easy maintenance, and not be ruined by things like this. So, I checked the burgundy satin, and I have enough for the hat's bow, the bias tape and the bodice's lining. I went ahead and cut it. To cut it with the least amount of trouble, I placed each of the jacket's outer pieces on top of the satin, matching the weft as much as I could, pinned them and simply cut each piece. Because I'm sewing by hand, and I usually don't include seam allowances in my patterns, I still had to trace the seams, but this way there's not much warping and it's much quicker.
+ a quick way to cut a lining, that will hopefully save me from some maintenance troubles.
- I still have to trace the pattern, to have a line to follow while I hand sew.
THE CUNNING PLAN
Start sewing this jacket.
