Remember my beautiful velvet jacket (Emanuel Ungaro Vogue 1018 from the 1990's) it has a gusset. It has a kimono sleeve with a gusset. IF, I as a beginner was able to sew a gusset in velvet (imagine the difficulty with a highly freing fabric :-( ) Well you can do it. I will scan the instruction sheet tonight and send it by email. As I remember they were very clear and detailed. Do you want pictures of the pattern pieces as well? Tell me what you need. In my book, the trick for gusset is not using pins or basting. Once your are ready, do it with both hands holding each little corners and zing, it will be done. You will be needing to stabilize the Thinsulate before cutting. Can you iron knit interfacing on it ? How this is exiting !Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734897164752339855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-12909702423013689012009-11-09T09:36:19.813-05:002009-11-09T09:36:19.813-05:00I think there's a thing on gussets on Fashion-...I think there's a thing on gussets on Fashion-Incubator. As Marji and Digs have said, it's not rocket science, and not nearly as fraught as many would have you believe. I think your lining alone looks very Vivienne Westwood.Lianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235950571276425579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-17423369041840762942009-11-09T09:27:00.246-05:002009-11-09T09:27:00.246-05:00I just sent you an email with written directions o...I just sent you an email with written directions on making a gusset.

Truly.<br />I think I wrote a tutorial for one way back when I made that black wool dress pattern from EvaDress. They used gussets a lot in the 50's when clothes had a lot less ease and lycra hadn't been invented yet.<br />Another consideration for getting the thinsulate out of the underarm is: That's where many outerwear manuf put vents as this is not the area you want overheating! ;)<br />Tonight when I get home from work I'll look for the info on gussets.Marjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695305834402487163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-29364036196472817472009-11-08T22:24:13.726-05:002009-11-08T22:24:13.726-05:00Remove the thinsulate from the undersleeve part.

Apparently this is standard stuff - I also had to slash away the lower sleeve's polarfleece underlining in my Stalingrad greatcoat (and lowered the side panel's fleece armscye). It wasn't my brainwave by any means - the info's somewhere out there in internetether.Digshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146986269769790807noreply@blogger.com
