The collar/band is easy. I just cut two lengths of fabric 6.5" wide and
long enough to go from center back to hem. They got backed with the
knit interfacing and then sewn together in the middle, making a long
band. Make it a few inches longer than you need and trim it to fit. I
sewed the hem ends, turned it right side out and stitched it to the
front and neck of the jacket with the serger. Pressed and ready to go!
I put it on after turning the hem up on the body of the jacket.

That's what I thought. And didn't the bargain fabric scrub up well!
Amazing what the right design and the right stitches and a good pressing
will do! ;)

Yeah, I *hate* understitching from the wrong side, but after unpicking
it for the THIRD time... Well, life's too short!

So very true!!! It really did show itself nicely...and does not look like
an inexpensive dress (or jacket) at all!!! But then, you did it
so....duh!! LOL ;)

BTDT. Not fun. Panne can really, really put up a huge fight if it is in
the mood. Great save on that one, and I agree completely frogging something
3 times is way too much of my time!!
Awesome job all the way around, Kate. Hope you can turn off the warp
engines soon. ;)

Well, they are on STANDBY at the moment, but I'll be firing them up as
soon as I can...
And thank you. I was rather pleased with how it came out.
