Pls upload more pix so we can get the making better. Still waiting for you to attach the top

Still waiting for overall estimate

yodiyokun: @Efosa, great work filling in for @onnari. I have been missing in action because I was waiting for my Dress form. Its now arrived and I'm modifying it to my shape and measurements.

I have some questions though for you -

1. how did you cut out your sleeve? That is one area I need serious help with.
2. Your front view shows that your lining is peeping out at the edges as if you used pipping? How did you get that effect? Is this intentional? How I don't want my lining to show at the edges at all

3. I thought that the lining is cut a little bigger than the main fabric to allow for movement.

I'd appreciate your comments.

Thanks

@EFOSA I was going to ask question on the sleeves also. How do I cut the sleeves.
I guess @ yodiyokun was talking about adding the bias. How do we go about that also.

People, pls let's upload our updates on the jacket and share. Still on mine. Would be uploading as soon as possible.

EFOSA VAL: Yes thanks for giving me time.

So if ur arm hole is 9 placed on fold.out of that 9 you will cut 6 from shoulder down to get you division,after sewing it will become 5.then the second side remaining.make sure its 5 when u cut,and after sewing it becomes 4.when u add 5+4=9 that's your arm hole.

Air stay question.you can add all over if you want (like mine,I cut 2 separate linings because of the holes on the lace.so on the lining that follows the lace directly I added airstay all through.the second lining that I used as turn up on my jacket I did not add air stay.)

But I you don't want to add all over,you must add to the front. The role of the air stay is to give your jacket weight and firmness remember

Thanks EFosa, got it now, you are too much

@EFOSA Welldone and good job. For the armhole, do I have to add 1 inch allowance so its not tight after the joining of the dart that ends at the armhole. My actual arm hole is 9 inches

Secondly you talked about adding air stay to the cuts.were do I add this stay? Is it at the front where buttons would be or where?

Thirdly, would the stay be betweem the fabric and the lining
or on the lining.

Also which one is air stay, I know about soft and hard.

Lastly, how do u get the neck and front to have like taping from the lining ? I mean the green contrast running from neck down the front where buttons would be. Sorry I be learner o.

If I say terrible, its definately an understatement

@ EFOSA VAL. Well done your lace fabric is nice and I think it will be cool to combine it with black. It kind of calms the red colour.

Gas is even cheaper than firewood for your information

Quite informative but in Nija even though all d taps around the house are running and 10 babies are crying at their door step by late hours, they dare not open the door till day breaks.

I think doing a jacket for sept edition would be a welcome and more challenging idea.If so the posts rolling in for voting should be strictly jackets,both traditional and english I guess.

More pics

@ wizb,you really tried and your dress fits well not minding the flaws at the bust seam. Am sure U are not a learner.Good job.

HI Onari, good job. I observed that U marked out 4.5" as d gap between d apex which is measuring out d gap btw d two apex. how do I determine the bodice gap in which U marked 4" for ur own cutout.
