Hand sewing the sleeve lining to the sleeve – the instructions said to sew raw edges together but I found the lining was way too long and almost peaked out past the edge of the sleeve when I did this. I ended up turning the sleeve lining up a full inch and sewing the fold line to the inside of the sleeve. It seemed to work much better…

I know it’s not part of a screen replica uniform, but I couldn’t see wearing this jacket and not being able to close it. Alex advised that if I wanted to install a zipper, it should be a separating invisible zipper. So I set out to learn yet another new skill. After fretting about it for weeks, and installing and ripping out the zipper from… Read more

This lining fabric is going to be the end of me. It is so slippery that I have trouble keeping the edges of the fabric lined up. But it’s all hidden so it doesn’t really matter. I opted for a pocket in the lining so I made good use of the pieces of lining I discarded earlier to practice this new skill. I relied heavily on the video at …

For all of your more experienced sewers out there, you’ll be happy to know I didn’t stretch the yoke to fit the body assembly. I cut two more back yoke pieces and attached the longer piece to the body assembly. That means I didn’t have to skimp on the sleeve allowance seam and all was happy in the area of the armscye. The sleeve didn’t…

Assembling the pieces was going smoothly, after all it’s my fourth time
doing it, until I pinned the back yoke to the back body assembly. I
discovered my back yoke was about 1/2″ too short. It must have happened
when I had to make modifications to the action pleat after I took an
inch off the shoulder seam. It seemed to work OK on my muslin…

Cutting the fabric always makes me a bit nervous. I just have to
remember that I have purchased extra and I can always buy more. Today’s
lesson for myself was the grain line for the lining. That stuff is so
slippery that I found it impossible to double up the fabric and keep the
grain lines aligned on both halves. After cutting the…

I didn’t want to go through the work and expense of making the jacket just to have a poor fit, so something I learned from the Craftsy classes was to take your time with the muslins. The first muslin I made was size small. Being 5’4″ tall and about 135 lbs, I figured it would be plenty big. It was not. I found it tight across the back and…

If Alex wants us to share our sewing adventure, I am happy to oblige.

I purchased the Voyager jacket pattern last christmas but had been thinking about making it for about four years. I had quilting experience but no clothes making experience. Despite the detailed instructions, I didn’t want to jump into something that was important to me…
