Tailored Coat: The labour of love continues!

Continuing into Me Made May is the labour of love that is my new tailored coat. The patterns have all been drafted, including the linings - now to prep the fabric all of which is either reclaimed or recycled.

Did you know that its really important to steam your fabrics before you cut them? This helps to remove the natural elasticity from the fibres and helps with shrinkage. You can also wash the fabrics before steaming them as this also helps to prepare the fabric.
