As requested, here's my method for hemming the lining on my coat. Do let me know if you have any questions! P.S. My idea that I would get the buttonholes done today was pure fantasy . . . I'm shooting for Monday instead!
So nice to see you work, Gertie! I'm going to look through all your vlogs many times, as I'm planning on a trenchcoat for winter 2010. I really would want it to include tailoring stuff like yours, so it's very nice to have such a resource in your vlogs! Happy new year!
Awesome job. Now, about that interfacing fused at the bottom, where did you purchase it? Did you call it Treecomb? I did a google search and can't seem to find any info. I am very interested in interfacing since I seem to only find the cheap stuff Joann's sells. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I'm fascinated by the use of silk thread for hand stitching and you mentioned you coat it in beeswax, or does it come coated? Could you elaborate a little on this?
Thanks for the vlog! I really apreciate you do it, this way is clearer for me to udnerstand, I mean, sometimes is difficult for me to understand correctly written instructions, in fact I have a dress I haven't finished because I got "stucked" in the instruction ,I was wondering if I can email you and ask about it....perhaps?.. =)
Okay, need to see a closeup of those curtains too! They look great and remind me of one of my favorite apartments, Gennifer Goodman's, especially her green tablecloth.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the video. Sometimes I have a hard time understanding written instructions but your vlogs are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.

ReplyDeleteOops, sorry, Erica! It's a tricot knit interfacing. I bought mine at Steinlauf and Stoller here in New York, and here's a link to an online shop:

ReplyDeleteSo excellent. You know when you're finished you have to gather these together with a link on your sidebar, right? Right?
ReplyDeletethe special cat appearance was really great. I miss my cats.

ReplyDeleteCatherine, I use Gutermann silk thread for handstitching. Here's a link:

And then I run it through a little beeswax tool to coat it. This helps keep it strong and tangle-free.

Thanks Gertie! You've inspired me to practice that method with some of my projects this year :)
