EMERGENCY! Jacket Lining-Bagging out problem
This section is sponsored by
Hi,
I have to be quick, I need an answer before I go to bed in an hour (11.30 UK time).
Interview in the morning and I have a practicle sewing test and may get tested on a bagged out jacket.
I’ve made a miniture jacket, just edge to edge, no facings just to check how the process works.
I’ve left an opening in the side seam of lining but sewn the rest of the lining to the jkt shell including the sleeve hems..is this wrong?
I also tried leaving an opening in the centre bottom of the lining/jacket edge…same.
I turn it through fine but the sleeves turn through as a continous loop, do I have to leave the sleeve edge un-sewn…if so how do I professionaly sewn them closed later?
Please help, can’t find clear simple instructions anywhere!

Why don’t you try lining it? You could use a contrasting color to make the burn out pop.

Hi Thanks,
Found this already, a lot to get my head around, was hoping for a quick ‘no your doing one obvious thing wrong’ type of answer. Thanks so much, this is the last technique I was practicing today, it’s dragged on and now I’m so tired I may have to give up.

Sorted! I finally figured it out. Thanks anyway.
