50´s Shawl Collar Coat - part II.

Finishing the seam allowances of lining with Bebe. The lining is quite see-through, so this will make it look better and even.

Wrong side of the lining with finished seam allowances.

Using the blind hem presser foot for sewing hem. Before I used to sew this by hand... This is so much faster! :) I increased the stitch width to 4 as this is thicker fabric and the auto-adjustment wouldn´t catch the upper fabric into the stitch. The coat´s hem is finished with Bebe too. 

Over-edge presser foot. I finished facing´s lower edges with it. It has a ditch that prevents the fabric from slipping in wrong direction. Handy, if you don´t have an overlocker... (...or you´re lazy to go to it at the moment ;)
A finished coat! I´m pleased with it. It´s quite fitted model so there won´t be any thick sweaters worn underneath. But it´s ok, this was ment to be a lighter coat...

Fancy large collar. :)
