Having done a lot of slightly fiddly work, I have managed to achieve some pleasingly sharp corners to #TheLinenRidingJacket collar. Here as the first pic because I'm the proudest of it. I turned the short edges by hand using an 18th century construction method! 😄​

Also pictured the understitching, grading and clipping of the collar seam. A lot of little things that make the end result marginally better, plus the high tech solution to ironing open the collar seam right before. A rolled up, thread bound towel, doubled over. Shit works.

Earlier today I also attached the bones to 3 out of 4 boning locations. This cotton voile was very thin but very stiff and thus ideal in qualities if not colour. It will be covered by the lining, anyway.
