 HOW TO MAKE COATS

Cut the interlining the same shape as the outside yoke with seams. Baste the inter- lining to the wrap and close the shoulder seams. Then cut off the canvas or lawn close to the stitching in the seams and press the seams open. Jape around the neck, placing the tape a seam’s width back from the edge. After the tape is caught in place, cut off the lawn or canvas which pro- jects beyond the tape at the neck.

The front of the lower section also needs reinforce- ment so there will be some- thing to sew the buttons to. Use the same material as the interlining of the yoke, cut- ting it to fit the front. (See Fig. 78.) Baste this to the front and tape along the front edge, placing the tape a seam’s width back from the edge. After the tape is caught in place cut off the lawn or canvas which ex- tends in front of the tape.
