wes1761 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Working on a coat, linen liner with wool outer. Using a JP Ryan pattern which I no longer have. Can anybody advise a way to get the pleats right on the back? I have tried several different ways and cannot seem to get the pleats to lay right or the back of the skirts to look right.....getting a tad frustrated!! Thanks!!

peglegstrick Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Wes.............are the instructions still in the pattern sent to me? If they are when I get home & will scan them & send to you.

wes1761 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 There were directions, but I put the coat up for a bit..needed a break from handstitching. I am hoping for a picture of a similar coat so I can see how they lay and take it from there. I am a visual learner I guess.....a thick headed, refer to directions to see what I did wrong visual learner!! Here is the coat thus far: I have added cuffs and started adding the stand up collar.....Pleats...AAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....

LadyBarbossa Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Bah! I wish I could assist, Wes. My own comp with all those images is currently out of commission. Perhaps Sterling will pop on here and show some great examples. Or Michael. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

Spitfire Stevens Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 To help the pleats stay, I iron in a pleat crease, then hand stitched as close to the edge as I could to secure the crease. Makes it really easy to iron. Just pull the hem down and press! Spitfire Stevens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
