Thank you Julia! Yes, I think it’s worth it as well. As far as leather, I haven’t really thought of it: I’ll try to put it on my radar and see if I can find examples in the Ready-to-wear market
Hello Trudi, I apologize for the late response. I put the hand worked stitching lines on the inside of the garment as a rule, but if you’re making a truly reversible garment, then it doesn’t matter!
This is beautiful! Is there another technique or way to accomplish this finished edges without using double cloth wool? I'm very curious to know! Thank you in advance 🤍
Thank you! If there is, I'm not aware of it. The idea behind it is that in double cloth 2 fabrics are bonded to make one layer, and when we finish our edges with this covered technique, we keep the integrity of that one layer. The edges are flat and don't have puckering or bubbling that you might find in less well made coats when the facing is attached. Now, if you do find another way of achieving this edge with single layer fabrics, please let me know!
Some fabrics (thinner ones with looser weave) will benefit from inserting a fusible tape/strip into seam allowances before closing it. I wrote a pretty detailed post on my website for double fabrics, maybe it will be helpful to you!
Yes, definitely! This technique can be used on any weight double fabrics, but it’s always a good idea to make a small sample before starting a big project!
Danke sehr , genau das habe 😂ich gesucht
It looks so good! Hard work but worth it! I was wondering if there is a video how to put a leather trim on double side wool?

Thank you. Very helpful.
I'm glad!
HI, great video.QUESTION: do you put the hand-finished-side seams on the outside of the garment or the inside???

Beautiful work! Question, do you notch the seam allowance?
Yes, I do! It will help you join the seams later, after which they will get trimmed with excess fabric.
great tutorial! when closing the edges, do you go through the fabric or only the staystich guide with your needle?
I catch a little bit of fabric as well as my stay stitch line!
please make more videos using double cloth. Maybe with a thinner cloth. I like the crepes for dressmaking. Thanks

What kind of scissor do you use to peel fabric layers?
Just small snipping scissors, also called thread scissors
can I do this with lighter weight doublcloth?
Yes, definitely! This technique can be used on any weight double fabrics, but it’s always a good idea to make a small sample before starting a big project!
It take to long!!!
it does, but result is beautiful!
