This week in our V1467 Pea Coat Sew Along Rachel is taking us through tailoring in two posts. Today’s post is about cutting, marking and interfacing; she’ll have more information later this week about the specific steps we’re sewing now. Head over to Rachel’s blog ASAP!
Looking at the photos of Rachel’s pea-coat-in-progress, I have to admit I have serious envy of her black-and-white plaid wool. How chic is she going to look when it’s all done?! Wishing I had gone with something black-and-white like this…
I’m making good progress on my own pea coat. My fabric is a double-faced soft wool from Fabrics & Fabrics here in the garment district. I’d completely forgotten how pleasurable it is to sew with good wool. (Working with good fabric makes me so happy.) So far I’ve sewn up to the part where you add the belt to the back. How are you doing with your pea coats?
I really like your fabric choice, as you continue that tiny detail will fade away
