I'm sure this is going to be one of the most stunning coats I've ever seen. The satin tape you showed in your previous post is a wonderful detail.
ReplyDeleteWOW. This is going to be one hell of a coat!
ReplyDeleteTotally impressed by your skills. How did you attach the cotton tape to the lapels, handstitched? Where could I purchase some? Can't wait to see the finished project!
ReplyDeleteCoats take a long time to assemble, don't they?! Thank you for posting your progress so the rest of us can learn from you.
ReplyDeleteTany,your work looks wonderful...very professional and so very neat :) Very impressive :)
ReplyDeleteBem... que trabalhão! Mas deve ficar um espectáculo e com acabamento muito profissional de alta costura!
ReplyDeleteBeijinhos e bom trabalho
(agora sou eu que ando...ocupadíssima!!!)
What a great friend Paco is! Is it chocolate or buttons in the plastic? Chocolate would be nice..lol.
ReplyDeleteDei: Thanks! The cotton tape is attached by hand and I bought it at my regular notion shop. It's used for stabilizing all kind of seams here (faced waistbands, etc.)
ReplyDeleteVicki: Yes he is! He's one of the kindest people I know and I treasure his friendship so much. LOL, those are not chocolate candy, they're vintage buttons! Paco sent them along with the fabulous orange tweed you see in the picture!
Fico desejosa de ver o resultado final!

És tão perfeccionista! Que mais há a dizer? está tudo super bem feito!
ReplyDeletePara empastar do lado de dentro, o fio não se chega a ver do lado de fora, pois não?

Exactamente, Ana!, apanha-se o mínimo do tecido que está por baixo. O veludo é fácil pois os pelos escondem os pontos; o tweed também é fácil de empastar assim. Os tecidos finos para casaco/jaqueta, principalmente os sintéticos são os mais difíceis. Por isso, se quiseres experimentar o método de alfaiate, o melhor é começar por um tweed de lã, que é muito mais fácil de trabalhar.
ReplyDeleteBeijinhos!
Como bem dizes;
ReplyDeletepor isso o trabalho de alfaiataria è caro,com a trabalheira que teem em empastar,o tempo que demora na confecçao,sem contar com o corte,tornam se peças de requinte!
Estas feita uma Alfaiata!!!
o bom mesmo è quando vemos a peça pronta,esquecemos a trabalheira que nos deu,e jà estamos a pensar na pròxima peça!
boas costuras amiga
besos

O PACO

para dar alegrias as amigas,que querido.
Tany.- gracias por la mención. por supuesto, eres merecedora de todo lo que llega a tus manos. Ahhh... que simpática Vicki, pues es verdad, parece una bolsita de caramelos. abrazos, Paco
ReplyDeleteTany thanks for these pictures, I am willing to learn this technique, and as I told Ann from Ann's Fashion Studio, I wish I could watch a video with the process because I see the result but do not really understand HOW TO. If you have a link, do not hezitate, as you always share with us.
ReplyDeletePaco: Muchas gracias, querido amigo! Y yo prefiero los botones a chocolate, jejejej!
ReplyDeleteCafe Couture: You're welcome! I'm no expert in this matter, since it's only my first padstitching experience. I know this link that shows the basic padstitching stitch: http://www.fiber-images.com/Free_Things/Reference_Charts/free_reference_charts_handsewing_stitches.html . You can see the padstitch runs upwards, and when you reach the top it runs downwards, making that spine effect you see in the final padstitching. The needle always goes in from right to left, no matter the vertical direction and you only catch one or two threads from the fabric underneath. the really important thing here is the way you must hold the fabric/interfacing in your hands, while you padstitch: the fold is oriented vertically and you should keep both layers of fabric rounded using your left hand and fingers. In the end the two layers will have a permanent round shape because you stitched them together while keeping that shape. I'm not sure if this helps, but that's what I have... I can also send you some scanned pages from one of my books, just let me know if you want them.
This coat will be a work of art! I dream of such a jacket in black velvet...Thanks for all the detailed posts, maybe one day I'll get started and then apply everything I've learned from you. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and have been reading it for awhile. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated this post on pad stitching. I pad stitched a collar for a jacket and your photos were a terrific help! I linked to you on my blog: http://caseykoester.wordpress.com/2009/01/18/vogue-2885-jacket-part-1/
Thanks so much!
Lindo! Magnifico! Pois o casaco de veludo <3 Era sim, mesmo assim,um pouco mais curto. Um excelente trabalho!
