Would you like to make a lightweight, beautifully finished jacket in a few sewing sessions? Using a very simple technique, you can provide a lining for your jacket that will clean finish the seams, provide some structural support, and streamline the construction process. Join us as we create an easy jacket using the "stitch-and-flip" lining technique.
You can use this technique to modify a favorite jacket pattern construction, or try it on a new pattern.
Lesson One:
Preparations for the project, such as pattern choices and fabric recommendations, will be discussed. Interfacing choices will be addressed, as well as modifications that may be necessary for use of the technique. The basic stitch-and-flip technique will be introduced, using simple square shapes. The resulting sample can be finished into a reversible scarf.
Lesson Two:
A sewing sequence will be given for two styles of jackets. The student will be able to adapt the technique for a princess-line jacket or a darted-front jacket using the stitch-and-flip lining. Pocket placement and construction will be discussed.
Lesson Three:
Sewing sequence will be given for a jeans-style jacket with a yoke. The student will learn how to attach a yoke with the same technique as the vertical seams. Sleeve seams will also be addressed in this lesson. Reversible garments and heavier weight garments will also be discussed.
Lesson Four:
Finishing touches, such as facings, bindings, shoulder pads, and hems, will be covered in this lesson. A short discussion of how to adapt the technique to other garments will be included.
