Hi Kate,

maybe it´s easier to manipulate the lining and outer shell as one like described here: http://www.extremecostuming.com/articles/theelizabethanseam.html

Dear list,

I have at last started on a long-planned project to make myself a 17th-century jacket (for when I need extra warmth). I'm using a pattern from "The cut of women's clothes" that has triangular gussets in the skirts. Now, as a not-very-competent needlewoman, I'm finding it difficult to get the points of the gussets to fit neatly. I'm only working with the lining material as yet, and have only tacked the pieces together. Can anyone offer any advice before I start sewing properly?

With thanks,

Kate Bunting
