BIG raglan sleeves and shoulders. I carefully took it apart, replaced the linebacker shoulder pads with some smaller molded poly ones, put in a new lining and then sent it to the cleaners. When I got it back, the "molded" pads had completely unmolded. I might as well have just wadded in some loose pillow filling. So I had to take everything apart again and put in some proper small pads. Moral of the story: use proper stitched-together shoulder pads. I still love the coat.barbaraqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793251354124698841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699537904435529619.post-49154211041427782772015-02-07T17:00:35.689-08:002015-02-07T17:00:35.689-08:00YAY for you!

I recently ran across a wool coat I bought when I was 16...the coat itself was in good condition, but the lining was completely ripped and the pads completely fell apart.

I no longer sew any shoulder pad in by machine. I may have done the first three or four that way but now it's a quick sturdy tack here and there to the seam allowance and we are good to go. Handwork is part of tailoring as you well know with your studies. This will only add a few extra minutes. Keep calm and stitch on!Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.com
