Interfacing and Stay Tape

 I've placed lightweight fusible interfacing where the buttonholes will be sewn.  I'm using silk organza for the rest of the interfacing - I want just a little body but no stiffness.

Stay tape is hand sewn down the front edge (one edge hand sewn to the jacket fabric, and the other edge stitched just through the organza but not through the jacket fabric).


Update 10/7:  I've decided to remove the silk organza from the front panel, and instead use Ultra Weft fusible.  The fabric is very loosely woven and I'm happier with the drape of the fabric with the weft insertion interfacing.  I'm keeping the silk organza for the rest of the interfacing (hem and sleeves).
