And that style of trouser is exactly what I had in mind to wear it with. :D<br /><br />I figure I'll likely give the seams the final press just after I do the buttonholes (so I can press them too), and then before attaching the buttons.

Normally I throw some fusible interfacing at it and I'm done, lol. Right now my jacket is hanging for 24 hours to let the lining settle, then I'll be getting onto trimming the lining as I know it's too long, and then attaching it at the hems.Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06409673383518447394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-26601964898893700252013-03-22T01:26:25.488-05:002013-03-22T01:26:25.488-05:00Wow, this ist going to be a great jacket.

I always do since it always reduces the bulk in the seam allowances. But what a struggle you must have had with those fraying edges. <br /><br />I feel like you have the fun parts left: the bands and the buttons. I don't exactly thing the buttonholes themselves are fun, but it's great when it all comes together. <br /><br />Can't wait to see it all finished!zilredlohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626730299584724606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-53024365284215368652013-03-21T14:22:04.142-05:002013-03-21T14:22:04.142-05:00Holy cow, looking amazing!!!
