PREPARATION OF A CHANEL STYLE PASSEMENTERIE.
Beeing asked to make a Chanelstyled jacket, I was facing a massive problem in finding a proper passementerie for the classic Chanel finish we whished for.
The first thing I had to do was to find components matching the jacket. In Sweden that can be a problem indeed.
However beeing satisfied with the result I began to put together the components. I started with two identical lines of braids and I fixed them on a biais of cotton making it possible to shape curved lines later.
-
- Shaping sted one
-
- Basting golden string
-
- Final result
Secondly, I trimmed the braid with the golden string by sewing it on the braid by using a basting teknik.
-
- First montage braid pocket
-
- Pocket finished result
Thirdly, I shaped each finnished passementerie depending on where on the jacket they were to be sewn onto.
-
- Sleeve finished
-
- Neckline finished
To conclude the result I began to sew the twoline braid first and then sewed the topbraid ontop of the first one in order to obtain the final result.
Jacket finished
Kindest regards,
