...Care labels and Linings for my tailored coat.
Did you know that its really difficult to get a 'Me Made' garment dry cleaned if it doesn't have a care label? But don't worry, its quite easy to make your own; use the same permanent fabric label pen and cotton fabric that was used for the back neck label to draw the symbols and fabric contents.
If you're not sure what symbols match with your fabric, a quick google search of fabric properties should help or ask at the fabric shop where you purchased the fabric what the composition of the fabric is. You can also use this handy symbol guide from I Hate Ironing (great name!) to help as well. This will give some idea of what to put.
My symbols mean:
> Do Not Machine Wash
> Dry Clean
> Do Not Tumble Dry
> Do Not Bleach
> Iron, Medium Temperature
The lining is now all sewn together and the hems have been pressed ready to be secured in place...time to turn it through the gaps left in the sleeves.
