| Modelling my creations |
I had
a khaki green long jacket and a shorter yellow jacket that both needed
adjusting. I had not long before bought some gorgeous Liberty cotton lawn
fabric in a fabric sale online and decided to insert side panels that ran from
cuff to hem down each side. Luckily, I have an overlocker, so I was able to
ensure a professional finish with minimal effort, although there’s no reason
why a similar result couldn’t be achieved with a standard sewing machine and a
bit more time.
I was
so happy with the finished result and have received loads of compliments. Unpicking
the whole coat would have been a pain but cutting up the sides improved the fit
on the body, across the shoulders (by alleviating pulling under the arms) and
on the sleeves. It also works well on children’s coats where the length is
still good but the middle is a bit tight.
