I read the book way too litteral and held it as it looked in the pictures. My stitches became much more even when turning the fabric 180 =)<br /><br />I attached my lining by hand just last week, and I loved it! So easy to control puckers, ease and make sure the lining isn't too tight.<br /><br />Also, I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all your posts on tailoring, both from sewing the red coat and the Lady Grey sewalong. I've just finished my first ever tailoring attempt (a green winter coat from a 1952 Vogue pattern) and it wouldn't have been done without your posts. I went from confused and intimidated to relaxed and inspired. I'm very happy with my new coat, and very grateful for all your work on the posts.<br /><br />So Thank you! And have fun handsewing! =)Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762815696807107905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-87082390830270045062011-11-02T13:35:14.742-04:002011-11-02T13:35:14.742-04:00Thank you for all the wonderful information you pr...Thank you for all the wonderful information you provide. I've been followling your blog for about two months now and I absolutely love it. I finally got brave enough to post a comment. I just want to say again thank you for sharing all your sewing skill and knowledge. I recently started sewing again after about a 30 years absence and I'm totally amazed at your blog.
