Today's Willa Wrap Coat Sew Along post is relatively long because there are several additional steps involved, like adding in the back ease, putting in the stitching guide for the back neckline as well as adding the coat hang loop (if you're adding one). They're all really easy steps though, there's just more of them in this post than there has been in the Sew Along so far.
Let's get started.
Back Lining Assembly
1. Take the centre back panels of the lining and right sides together, line them up along the centre back seam. Pin in place.
Attaching the Back Facing
Remember, I've chosen not to interface my back neckline facing due to the thickness of my fabric!
1. Take your back facing + lining and right sides together, match the long side of the facing to the lining neckline.
Adding Neckline Basting Guides
These neckline guides make attaching the front + back neckline and collar SO MUCH EASIER than if you decide to just wing it. The hard part comes when you get to the inner corners, as you don't have a true seam allowance to follow in those sections, and they can be fiddly.
To give yourself the best foundation to get that step correct the first time, you should add in contrasting basting stitches onto your necklines. We will get to the others in the next post, but because we're about to attach our hang loop, it's easier to add them in now.
Simply sew a line of basting stitch along your stitching line (1.5cm or 5/8") away from the raw edge, up to the markings on your pattern piece, along the shoulders and entire neckline. You'll thank me for it!
Attaching the Hang Loop
And that's it for today, I'll see you tomorrow where we'll be attaching our front and back necklines and shoulders together!
