thank you for this tutorial. Does the bouclé fabric need a pre-treatment before use? Greetings from The Netherlands!

You may want to lock their unraveling further at seam allowance by stitching. I would recommend zigzag or wider stitches to not create stiffness or stop the natural stretch of the weave. For finishing you can use nice overlocking stitches or I did cover all the seam allowance of each pattern, with thin silk habotai and finished with Hong Kong seams on connecting seams.

Could you do tutorial on putting the boucle jacket together with emphasis on the seam finishing. How did you finish the seams on this jacket? Thank you.
