As arranged last week I started this morning by sitting down with my tutor to discuss how I will begin the lining process for my suit jacket. From my previous CIC unit I didn't want to trim or secure any seam allowances as this left the jacket open for any alterations to be made before finalising it. This meant todays tasks involved finishing the inside, ready for my next session (wednesday) when I can attach the lining. Correctly pressing and turning up seam allowances created the crisp edges needed to give sharp lines for a neat finish.
Up until now I have found it hard to understand how the jacket is to be finished as different tutors use different techniques. So having this guidance from Dexter in the morning was helpful in clarifying which processes I will follow. With him spending a short time answering my questions then enabled me to work for the rest of the day completing everything we had discussed.
At the end of the day I was then able to go back to Dexter with everything completed and note down anything that would need to be ready for wednesday when I can insert the lining.
To do for wednesday:
- Buy shoulder pads and ice wool from Aucb haberdashery (via my supervisor as will be paid for by the BFTW budget)
- Ensure everything necessary is secure with herringbone stitch.
- Cut lining pieces
- Checking the CB box pleat allowance is the same length, then add an extra 1cm to either side for further movement.
- Machine stitch lining pieces together.
