I've come close to throwing it in the trash. I'm seriously trying to finish it up now.Faye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-54493840058997266332010-12-04T09:18:03.107-05:002010-12-04T09:18:03.107-05:00Ali, I'm afraid we are not using ideal fabric...Ali, I'm afraid we are not using ideal fabric for this coat. Even though the weave doesn't look too loose, if you pull or stretch it warps really easily. I think that is why my coat is behaving so different than my muslin. But, I'm sure both of our coats will be beautiful in the end! I'm actually hoping my peplum will droop a little more. It is very stiff at the moment.<br /><br />Valerie, great information as always. I have always had trouble with sleeves fitting properly and I'm wondering if I need some sort of adjustment. I'm not going to mess with the sleeve on my lady grey but the next thing I make with sleeves I'm going to try rotating.

(Usually, I've had the problem where the finished coat ends up tighter)... well, if you need to "fill in" you could always add an interlining to the bodice and get an extra-warm coat :)<br /><br />I love your yummy colour :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-11502413651737402792010-12-03T04:35:23.566-05:002010-12-03T04:35:23.566-05:00I am so happy that you kept on going!

Mine also isn't behaving as my muslin did and I'm afraid the wool is too lightweight to keep me warm or to hang correctly. I had a sewing marathon too (since I'm super duper behind) and I'm not even doing the tailoring. I'm hoping once I attach the sleeves and the collar I'll get a better sense of how it's hanging. In short, the peplum seems a little droopy and not as dramatic which is the beauty of the coat, I think. <br /><br />Anyway, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for your version!! Great work :)Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575104493258544397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6560246728115023530.post-30940672781200954012010-12-02T22:31:55.707-05:002010-12-02T22:31:55.707-05:00The colour is fantastic - can't wait to see it...The colour is fantastic - can't wait to see it finished!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070809028433760473noreply@blogger.com
