Show I Making A I Spring'iJacket The. loosely hanging, almost un-M un-M fitted jackets wo wear today hardly need the tailor's skill though they I may benefit by some of his art, and I tho greater part of that art Is de-I de-I voted to tho making of a shapely gar-I gar-I ment. To do this It is necessary that I there be always some smooth foun-I foun-I datlon, and It Is for this reason that canvas Is introduced In the fronts and I around the arm holes and the ends I of tho shoulder seams supported by I several layers of cotton wadding. The I canvas Is soft, not stiff and the cot-I cot-I ton wadding can scarcely be called I padding, but both are essential to a. I rightly made jacket or coat. I Lay the pattern on the cloth, care- Jl fully observing the, way ot the goods, fjp as well as of the perforations that Indicate the straight lengthwise line. Cut the various pieces ot the pattern, pat-tern, being Buro to cut all tho notches notch-es in seam edges and before removing remov-ing tho pattern, mark on the cloth with chalk the perforations that relate re-late to tho construction. Follow the directions that have been given In a previous lesson for marking these lines, cm the cloth, first with chalk then by making tailors' tacks thru the two layers of cloth and separating separat-ing them by clipping the threads. Baste the dart In each front, then the under arm and shoulder seams. Do not cut the darts; simply bring the lines of tailors tacks together and baste tie seam along this sewing line. Before we fit the jacket we will baste the canvas In place. |
