Attaching collar to body of coat
The pattern instructions didn't include any allowances for "turn of the cloth" on the collar - or any tailoring construction for that matter. I did cut the under collar slightly smaller and pad stitched more closely on the lapels and collar curve.
Had a dickens of a time working the turn of the cloth, but am currently happy with the lay of the fabric at the back neck. We will see how I feel when the coat is completed.
