I haven't cut out the coat yet. Talk about being behind! As for the other coat, leave it alone it looks great. I don't think that you can do what you are thinking of anyway. Pad stitching the lapel is about stitching shape in as you mold it over your hand. It's also the kind of coat that is fine in a less couture process. Now, your cashmere, that's a couture kind of coat. Can't wait to see it.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-35146536651012489352008-11-23T09:54:00.000-06:002008-11-23T09:54:00.000-06:00Thanks so much for letting us know you didn't ...Thanks so much for letting us know you didn't need the extra at the front edge. I'm about to start a coat from Patrones magazine (as soon as Thanksgiving is over,I hope), and had been debating with myself whether to add the "walking ease" I think it is called. Your coat will be gorgeous, as are all your creations, and I will bow to your & Ann's wisdom on the front edge! :) Just another example of how wonderful the internet is for sewists -- shared knowledge! <BR/>NedraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-36092812292699197862008-11-21T11:58:00.000-06:002008-11-21T11:58:00.000-06:00Slow, careful progress is better than a rushed job...Slow, careful progress is better than a rushed job with regrets or a lot of ripping and restitching. I think you made the right decision on the pocket matching - you can't match everything all the time, just look at the options and do your best.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10081744.post-37518665571383654372008-11-21T00:12:00.000-06:002008-11-21T00:12:00.000-06:00Thanks for mentioning Ann's tip about the tape - I...Thanks for mentioning Ann's tip about the tape - I hadn't heard that before and it sounds like a good tip. I am not much help with fixing your carcoat - but it looks fine as it is (and can't be worse than RTW). Hope the progress on the new coat goes well!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529416439720810403noreply@blogger.com
