Day 2 of the assembly

The first piece to be sewn was the frog mouth pocket, this is also one of the hardest bit to sew due to the rounded bottom.  Lucky all of the notches matched up and due to the fact that I had done it a couple of times before. 

I finished the pocket off differently than before. I faced the top with the same fabric as the main body and the lines the rest. 


The rest of the body was fairly straight forward. 


The collar was harder than I expected it was straight forward in the calico. The fabric I am using is more difficult to handle than calico. After a couple of tries it was done.


The button holes would of been time consuming to do as I had never done them before.So my tutor did them for me.

The hardest part was the sleeves. The fabric was not fused and frayed really badly this caused e to loose some notches making it harder to ease and sew in. The fabric also did not handle well as it did not ease well.

I found pressing the jacket quite hard as I kept mailing creases as I was not handling the fabric correctly.
