Materials:
Pattern:
Linda Lee Originals pattern: Serger Coat Pattern or Child’s Serger Coat Pattern
Wool melton or polar fleece fabric (yardage is determined per pattern for your size)
Decorative stitching for outer edges:
Decorative threads such as Monet wool-acrylic or Burmilana, or Success Serging Yarn. (additional thread suggestions are mentioned in the pattern)
Matching needle thread
Threads needed for inside seams:
2 texturized nylon threads (Woolly Nylon, poly yarn) for the upper and lower loopers
2 serger threads for the needles
Serger capable of chain-stitch
Tweezers, scissors, wire-threaders, etc.
Steps:- Lay out pattern pieces in a nap direction. Cut one body, two sleeves and two pockets per pattern instructions.
- Place a label on the right side of lapel as a reminder.
- Draw lines with a chalk marker to act as guidelines or stitch randomly. Lines will be drawn on the wrong side of the lapel because the chain-stitch places the decorative chain on the fabric that is placed against the feed dogs.
- Thread serger with a chain-stitch. Place Monet in the chain looper and serger thread in the chain-stitch needle. Place a scrap of fabric under the presser foot extending the fabric behind the foot.
- Stitch three stitches and then clip the threads close to the foot.
- Stitch onto the fabric scrap to make sure you are getting a chain-stitch. Adjust tensions as needed to create the effect you want. A stitch length of 3.5 to 4.0 is a good length for this thread.
