I purchased Warm & Natural Cotton Batting from Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts Store. I’ve made several quilts in the last 16-years and that is the only batting that I used. It is a bit expensive but so worth it.
Anyway, back to the sleeve-heads; I basted the sleeve-head to the right sleeve seam allowance. Oh my goodness what a difference in the fit of the sleeves, the wrinkles that was radiating from the shoulder to the right upper chest area disappeared.
If you look at the right shoulder you will be able to see the difference between the right and the left.
Next, I will hand baste the
sleeve-head to the left sleeve seam allowance and if all goes well adding the
lining is next and hopefully my coat will be ready. Later……
