Hello everyone, my name is Martin and I work my way through the tutorials. The front pieces of my coat are canvased and I have padded the lapels. They are rolling nice around the break line . What purpose has the selisia between the canvas and the outer fabric, just stability?
you can see my work on Instagram @hand-m-made-garments

Makes it easier to pad the lapels on light weight fabric.
Thank you Rory, that makes sense. It works well with the fabric I use.
It's spelled "silesia." I assume it originally was made in this region of Europe.
My apologies for the the wrong spelling
@martinkuester71 It's not a big deal. It helps to know the correct spelling for searches, and in this case, to understand the history.
As a historian I very much appreciate that
