I was on schedule when working on the muslin. Then when it came to cutting the shell fabrics, I got intimidated and put Lady Grey in my back burner. Now after having a Gertie-tailoring lessons marathon, I feel more comfortable and am ready to resume Lady Grey. Thanks again and wish me luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-71134925244658480092010-11-02T04:08:56.384-04:002010-11-02T04:08:56.384-04:00I've really enjoyed all your posts showing how...I've really enjoyed all your posts showing how to make a coat.

Thanks to your inspiration and coaching I don't seem so overwhelmed with the idea anymore. We'll see if that all changes over the next couple of weeks haha!

I know I haven't been leaving comments much lately, but I have been following along with your sew-a-long, though making a boyfriend's jacket instead. Really, really great posts. Everything looks so fabulous and well thought out. I keep going back and referencing what you done here. I'm so excited to see this coat on you too!

When you line up the seams of the lining and outer shell and pick stitch on the seam of the lining, aren't you stitching on the seam line of the coat not on the allowance?Janicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-27734599942418980322010-11-01T12:13:05.135-04:002010-11-01T12:13:05.135-04:00Thanks for this sew along, Gertie!

I think a sew-along is just what I need at this early stage of my sewing development. I put in my first zipper last week, but I've yet to get a skirt that looks good on me and fits well. A group project might be just what I need to stay encouraged. -- JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-862650024313345452010-11-01T11:34:52.035-04:002010-11-01T11:34:52.035-04:00Gertie: Just have to say that this whole process h...Gertie: Just have to say that this whole process has been inspirational and entirely educational.

Also,...Gertie, this was a fantastic sewing course! Also, I just picked up that jacket tailoring book you recommended a while back. It is quite helpful.<br /><br />My vote for your next sew along garment is a basic pair of pants. I just attempted to make the Hot Patterns Plain & Simple Everyday Pants. They were easy to put together and looked fine in the back but when I turned around I was shocked at how insane and unflattering the crotch looked. I have a feeling this fit issue has something to do with the crotch curve, width or length. I just purchased the Vogue pants sloper pattern and Pants for Real People in hopes of solving this problem. I bought the Making Trousers text a while back but it focused on tailoring techniques, not fit issues. I recall you took the pants drafting class a few months ago. I am considering taking this course when it is next offered.gmculphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210345706722620940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-25650058276367704772010-11-01T09:36:51.782-04:002010-11-01T09:36:51.782-04:00thanks for this great sew along and instructions. ...thanks for this great sew along and instructions.
