Hello everyone,
here an update of my coat making process. I inserted the sleeves and am quite happy how they drape/fall. I have sewn them in by hand. The left sleeve isn’t wadded yet. There is about 2 1/4 inch of fullness in the sleeve hat . I struggled a lot to get it distributed evenly. The biggest problem was the sleeve pattern. Actually, i recut them three times :-( I needed a higher sleeve hat , it is now about 7 1/4 inch (18,5 cm)
next step is to close the lining and starting the finishing process. But first i have to finish two waistcoats, some shirts and a pair of trousers for my wedding.....
@martinkuester71 This is a really fine effort. You should be really proud of the quality of the seams and pockets. I think that you are right about the issues being with the fitting rather than the construction but that is something that I'm sure must come with experience. I'm really looking forward to seeing your next piece. You have set the bar high for all of us now!
