B4343 Wool crepe version, checking shoulders
Double checking the seam allowances on the shoulder. Silk basting thread holding the underlining to the wool crepe. Last to be removed along with some errant tailor tack thread (moved back neck dart). Added an inch to the back shoulder seam, aited until last try to determine correct angle and seam allowance.
Wool crepe fabric and bemberg lining from Sawyer Brook. Underlined with organic cotton from Fabric.com. Mettler Microsene thread, using a Smertz titanium size 11 sewing needle. This needle type is new to me, and I think I like them. Used silk thread for basting underlining to crepe. Used Hug Snug seam binding for hem tape then catchstitched to underlining. Whip stitched seam allowances of crepe and pinked seam allowances of lining for finishing.
