Step 5Prepare outer covers
This step will prepare the outer covers for the jacket.
- Sandwich the vinyl cover between the remaining fabric covers
- Stitch along the right long side of the sandwich
- Fold the fabric to the right, away from the vinyl
- Place the cardboard stiffener inside the fabric covers
- Stitch down the remaining three sides of the back cover to secure the cardboard on the inside.
The vinyl can be slippery and make it difficult to sew into the center of the two fabric covers. Use clips or hemostats to hold the pieces together. You don't want to us pins because the pinholes will be left in the vinyl and look poor on the finished product.
The cardboard stiffener should be smaller than the covers so the fabric can be stitched together. If it doesn't fit well, you can sew through the cardboard without difficulty. This may make it harder to attach the binding tape later.
