- Start date
Part three ,,,,,,,,, Fitting the hood to the body
First off don't leave your project lying about ,,
Time to get the scissors out and cut a hole for your neck
Turn it inside out and pin and tack the hood to the body , I blanket stiched it into place
Run a seam of stiches all around the hood fixing it to the body
Turn it the correct way round and pin and tack the seam flat
Now run a seam around the hood to flatten the seam ,
That's the hard work finished part four to follow

Great stuff Cliff.
Looks a real tidy job using proper patterns like that and finishing the seams flat.

Thanks lads
Addo, Flattening the seams make so much difference to the finish and the way the seam sits , well worth the extra work involved

Good afternoon ,,, Part Five .
Turn the jacket and arm inside out and pin and tack trying not to sew the arm on inside out
Hopefully the arm a body sleeve that were folded over are don't bunch to much ,
Run two sets of stiches around the arm to body seams turn the right way around and pin and tack the seam flat
Sew the seams flat ,
Next I sewn on a leather patch to re-enforce a cord around the base of the shirt ,
Pin and tack the base of the shirt with the cord in place ,
Then stich the base of the shirt this may call for some singer hanging
Sort out the cord lock for the base
That's about it just need to add some cord locks to the hood .

Fantastic tutorial Cliff, thanks for taking the time to stop and document the process as you were making it.:You_Rock_
That looks superb Cliff, you're going to be well cosy in that whilst you're in Norway.
