I have so many coats I need to sew and finish and even a redingote but the lining thing does my head in. Been meaning to try interlining the lining fabric with something lightweight but not slippery like I do with all my summer dresses - using cotton voile or similar.<br />Potentially it will reduce the slippage and thus make any hand sewing easier, without adding bulk. If you try this before I get a chance, let us know how it goes!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12668255845241284664noreply@blogger.com
