Draft & Sew a Custom Fit Reversible Coat

Step 15Assembly: Trimming Excess

Assembly: Trimming Excess
With both pieces turned inside out, trim off the excess seam allowances.  I wound up trimming down from 1/2" to about 3/16"... use your discretion.  Leaving less allowance will cut bulk, but it can also lead to a hole if cut too close. 

Once trimmed, go ahead and try it on, one piece over the other, turning the first inside out. 

Remove coat carefully, keeping pieces aligned as well as possible, and use pins to hold inner and outer shells together at edges and wherever else seems logical.
