jessamygriffithIn which I cut the wool. And then I decided it wasn't long enough, and cut more. Which meant I had to do the interlining by hand AGAIN, but the Coat is not the Coat if it, A. Isn't Long Enough, or B. Doesn't swirl.
Also, decided the black satiny stuff I originally intended for lining was too flimsy, too soft, too sleazy and slutty, like a nylon nightgown or something nasty. Sherlock may be a slut for all we know, but his coat is All Class.
I switched to a stiffer dark grey stuff, more like a soft taffeta. Much better.
If anyone ever wants to know more about what I am doing on the inside of the coat, check out Tailoring - a guide to sewing the perfect jacket. It's all about support and keeping the wool from stretching out.
Also, was at Uniqlo today. Did you know John's jeans for the show came from Uniqlo? Apparently Martin recommended them, said they were a good fit on him. I assume that means he's a short-arse with dachshund legs then, as so many Japanese guys are.
Anyway, I think the BBC should just get all of his clothes there if they don't already. They had the comfy cardigan and checked shirts, look!
