I added a facing to the neck however it can not work as the lapel has been joined to the shoulders and will not allow for a facing to be bagged out.
I tried to solve the idea of linings by doubling the pattern up and sewing it on itself. It created a few problems as the position where the second lining finished and bagged out did not sit right and created bulk at the underarm. I am working with a woollen felt and it is quite thick on its own let alone doubling the fabric. I thought I could use facings to cover up some raw edges.
-As I decided I would have no lining I thought it would be a good idea to make some seam allowances wider to support the bulk of the fabric, for example: the CB seam I made 2cm.
-I added a tab on the lapel that imitated an under collar however I needed to enlarge the pattern as in felt it would be too bulky to bag out at that small size
I started looking at pockets and where it would sit on the body, how long i wanted it. I also wanted to look at a pocket that would have no pocket bag and would be open like you see in capes.
