Jacket
Construction
Cutting Jacket
Out
You have just enough
fabric to cut out your pieces for the jacket so take a moment to place
all your pieces so that you like your pattern placement. Looking at the
back piece you can see that I have allowed enough fabric to flip over
pattern for the rest of the pattern. The front pattern piece is placed
so that I will cut straight between a row of blocks, then flip over
pattern and cut the left front piece. The sleeve will be placed again on
the lower left side of our fabric.
Cutting of the front
pieces.
Make sure your pattern
pieces are in line with the grain, if you cut these pieces out at any
angle you will definitely notice later!
Sewing the Jacket
Sew both shoulder seams and
then cut out all batting you can between layers. Now clip seams as
before.
Sew sleeves to jacket
matching the center sleeve to the shoulder seam. You can see that I have
not trimmed out the batting yet. To separate the fabric from the batting
you will need a seam ripper to clip the quilting stitches in this seam
allowance. This is a little tedious but be patient.
Now clip all seams so that
the seam will fringe.
Sew the sides of the Jacket
and treat all seams as before.
