I bet she abandoned that Chanel Jacket muslin...
Not so, still working on it, this bit is not really exciting. I'm trimming the seam allowances and catch stitching them onto the organza. See?
One side trimmed....
Both sides trimmed...
Are you still with me or do you need some coffee? Catch stitching next....
Sure couture is all fun and games until the wide seam allowances turn on you, so it's important to tame them.
Pressing does little to help this process, and you really don't want to flatten the seams with an iron, you want them to roll a little, like they've not been touched by human hands.... (of course you wouldn't want a jacket made by a monkey.... not that I've ever seen a sewing monkey...are we done yet?).
Front princess line seams catch stitched here...
Side panels finished here....
The back seam finished here...just the sleeves and armhole left to go.
I think I like it inside out better than right side out but it could be that I'm getting a little punchy.
Is that spaghetti?

Clio - I also keep my silk dupioni selvages for the same thing, they don't bulk things up.
