Couture project - in progress

I just LOVE sewing with these techniques! Never in a million years I would have guessed to enjoy it that much.
There´s a lot of hand sewing to do which I´m usually to lazy for.

It´s my fist time working with hair canvas and I imagined it mucn more difficult. Once steamed and pressed it´s easy to handle und has the perfect thickness for my wool fabric.
The seamline of the front and lapel has to be edged with stay tape or bias tape that has been stretched and ironed. I had only bias tape with hearts at home, but as it is on the inside, nobody will see:) 

The pocket has a fold detail which I hand basted for now:

 

First time to try it on my bust - perfect!

My favorite part yet is the seam facing. From the right side it´s completly invisible...

...and that´s how it looks from the left side:

It gives the whole jacket a completly different drape and just looks wonderful. Such a small piece of fabric for such a great effect:)

And that´s how far I got today:

The base is build and fits perfectly. Tomorrow I´ll start on the collar and the sleeves.
