Well after the idiot mistake the other day with the pocket here, progress has been more to my liking. I have put the concealed button in the vent and made a shoulder yoke.
This did take some time as it was tricky to get a flat piece of material to fit comfortably around shoulders and front. I made up a pattern and kept large hem allowances so I could play around with them.
The yoke is held in place with 2 front chest buttons and one centre rear. I made the rear longer (width-wise) so it shows a slight gap between button and sleeves. Oh the reason for a different coloured button at the rear.......well I always place one different colour button on my left sleeve/cuff but thought I would do something different!
I then knocked up a pair of epaulettes to go on shoulders.
So next the sleeves which should bring this all together nicely.
Happy sewing!Labels: Challenge, Change, Coat, Design, Sewing, Wool, work in progress
