I admire how you have altered this jacket - it is so hard to fit yourself, I have the same problem. My challenge is not so advanced in progress yet - like you, I get tired working. Looking at your blog you have made some beautiful things that suit you so well.Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-30770961584851866512013-02-15T06:31:06.511-05:002013-02-15T06:31:06.511-05:00Faye you're realy making progress with you jac...Faye you're realy making progress with you jacket and it's looking beautiful!

You've done a fabulous job with the setting in the sleeves and loved the video about using a strip of bias fabric... very clever... I've added that one to my sewing tips list. Can't wait to see your jacket finished as it's going to look gorgeous and I love love love the colour too :)Chris Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804725788257834748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-76161950022831070142013-02-11T22:31:16.243-05:002013-02-11T22:31:16.243-05:00Wow Faye, your jacket is looking fabulous, I just ...Wow Faye, your jacket is looking fabulous, I just did a similar post on my blog, I hate the puckering too.

I haven't yet conquered jacket sewing *at all* but I have heard that sewing in the round with a sleeve head makes a pretty result. The bias linen strips help ease in difficult fabric jsut like you used so beautifully. That being said I read Armani RTW used 3/8" armscythes to ease in faster. The fashion designer whose atelier was ont he ground floor of my old apartment told me she sewed her designer jacket sleeves in the flat, with 3/8" or 1/4" seams to economize, and sewed two-piece sleeve seams first then sewed them in flat to speed things up. Overall I think your results look more high quality than hers did, but hers were still pucker-free and acceptable. As a home sewist I think you're making the right choice to go the higher quality route.Katharinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355680090132670030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-11339767250845824212013-02-11T00:23:36.402-05:002013-02-11T00:23:36.402-05:00The jacket is looking great...I'm so looking f...The jacket is looking great...I'm so looking forward to its completion.Aisha Johnson - SewCouturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09510409814057587494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-24291203577822959292013-02-10T21:35:30.961-05:002013-02-10T21:35:30.961-05:00Great post!
