Notes: \r
\r
A more historically accurate way to stiffen the lapel and collar would be using hair canvas and stitching it in place with pad stitching. It makes the collar easier to form and more durable long term. Notes on that can be found in Authentic Victorian Dressmaking Techniques (as well as jacket fitting tips). \r
\r
Also since someone always points it out - sewing over pins is bad! Its a nasty habit I have and one I dont work too hard to kick since it makes sewing so much faster. Personally ive only broken one or two needles that way in the entire time ive been sewing, so that isnt a major concern of mine. But it isnt something I would recommend doing!\r
\r
As mentioned within this video the main fabric for this jacket was sent to me for review but all opinions are my own and I was not paid to promote the site or make this video! \r

Music is “Ballade no. 3 in A flat Major Op. 47” performed by Donald Betts and originally written by Frederic Chopin. It was acquired through Musopen and does not belong to me!\r
\r
(speaking of music, sorry its loud at the end! I originally uploaded it with the song at 1% and you couldnt hear it at all. 3% is apparently too loud. Ill try 2% for part two!)
