This little tweed jacket was a great find.  The shoulders were a little wide and we needed to take out the shoulder pads.  To adjust the shoulders for a better fit, I unpicked the lining just inside the shoulders and stitched the cap of the sleeves in about 2 cms.  The excess material was trimmed and the seam was finished off with a zig zag stitch.  The lining was handstitched back together.  Zoe likes to roll up the sleeves a little.  We LOVE this jacket.  It takes me back to the 70s!  The 70s belonged to us and now this generation is wearing out clothes!! Posted by Picasa
