Thank you so much for this beautiful and careful work. I will find your video really helpful when I come to do my own Duster. (The recent slow-mo video of the finished coat is also stunning btw.)

Beautiful pattern, I am also having trouble with the back neck facing... So you have a video on that part ??

[@SewLiberated]

We don't have a video or that step, but do have a full written and diagrammed sew-along on our site.

Thank you for the helpful tutorial! I would LOVE a front/back facing assembly tutorial. Mine has got me confused.

Send us am email to [e-mail] and we can help you out :)

This is very useful. I would love to see how the back facing is attached. I can’t figure out how to make it fit. Do I clip to the mark?

[@SewLiberated]

Hi Martha! Do you mean how the back facing is attached to the Front Facing? Or at the shoulder seams? If you want to send me an email ( support {at] sewliberated [dot} com ) so you can share a photo of how far you've gotten, I can help :)

Thanks for this tutorial. Are there any others for the lichen duster? I am struggling with the facing for this collar and hoped that there might be a video. Thanks

We have a written sew-along with tutorials on the Sew Liberated website.

I’m struggling with the next step and I don’t find the drawings in the instruction manual very helpful. I want to see how to sew the lapel on! Where is the next video ?

The rest of the sew-along for the Lichen is on our site, here, sewliberated.com/tutorial/lichen-duster-sew-along-day-5

[@deborahkelly1018]

By reading all instructions, online and in print, and watching the video, I still don't understand how the Back Facing is attached. I sent an e-mail...

[@SewLiberated]

Hi Deborah! I am sorry you are having some trouble with the facing. If you emailed, we will respond as soon as we are able. We like to give as thorough and answer as possible so it can take a few days sometimes.
