Summer jacket finishing

This is a really important process, finishing the neckline and seams, to look fitted and as if it's supposed to have been like this all along.

This fabric presses a treat, beautiful seams, and now I'm sealing the neckline with bias binding. Then the pins and the white basting thread come out.


 See how well the outside is shaping? I'm happy about it. The neckline is the most visible part, and I'd like it to look right.  Silk thread from a seamstress long gone, bias binding likewise, weaving from an artisan. Honoring everyone with the best handstitching I can do. 

When I wear this, I'll be in the company of women.
