While I’m loving Gertie’s sewalong, I’m feeling the chill in the air and am hoping to jump ahead on my jacket construction this weekend. This probably won’t happen, but after my whiney comments on Gertie’s post this morning (“Geeerrtttttiiiieeeee… what do I do with facings?) and her gracious reply, I’ve made a to-do list to follow using my brain, the tailoring book and Gertie hints! Here’s what’s next.
- Insert shoulder stays (twill tape)
- Press and catch stitch side and back seams
- Insert sleeves (use Gertie’s method)
- Insert sleeveheads
- Insert shoulder pads, if needed
- True up my wonky hem
- Interface hem on back of coat
- Tailor the undercollar (use custom method for the notched collar in the tailoring book)
- Attach undercollar
- Interface, assemble and attach facing and collar
- Tailor hem
- Decide on interior iPod pocket. Construct using plain patch pocket or welt pocket instructions in tailoring book.
- Insert lining (use machine method in tailoring book)
- Cover and attach snaps
- Belt loops
- Order belt (oops! move that to the #1 spot!)
More coffee… is that carpal tunnel I feel?

Wow! What a list. Thanks for your comment on my blog, but more importantly, thank you for your amazing post on the super gaping lapel. I have yet to transfer the fix to the paper pattern so I'm a bit worried. But I know I've got your instructions to help me along the way :)
