(I'm thinking no, but just checking).</p> <p>I think you can achieve that "melted" quality in the fabric if it has a high acrylic content by using a hot knife. &nbsp; I would try&nbsp;putting an exacto blade on to a soldering iron and use it to cut/finish in one swipe. I've seen it&nbsp;work brilliantly on the gauzy/thin acrylics also (but they're not very breathable, which makes them hard to wear, IMO).</p> <p>You can probably reinforce the armholes by stitching around them with a matching color - a half cm from the edge or so - the thread should sink in and disappear. &nbsp;Try either a straight stitch or a zig-zag. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>This would be really terrific in boiled wool felt too. &nbsp;Though I don't think the edges would seal the same way.</p> <p>Thanks for posting the pics!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeveless-jacket-laid-flat#post-973156 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:31:37 +0000 Deborah 973156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The felt I bought is not quite as soft as the felt one I bought. It is better quality than that which children use to pin on boards, but that's all I can tell you. I can't quite remember what was on the tag at the fabric store. I haven't reinformed the armholes... yet. I realise I may need to. The bought topper doesn't look like it has been reinforced but when run you fingers along it does feel like it has 'finished' somehow, almost like it has been 'melted'??? Not sure how best to describe it. I am keen to do a bit more research, as I am thinking this overall concept could be translated to drapey dresses and tunics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeveless-jacket-laid-flat#post-973154 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:27:22 +0000 Anonymous 973154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kind of felt did you find? Do you have to reinforce the armholes with stitching? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeveless-jacket-laid-flat#post-973152 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:26:42 +0000 Deborah 973152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit, it was fun. The black one was retailing at full price for $110.00 and I bought it on sale for $45.00. The one I made cost about $14.00 for the fabric and about an hour and a half of my time. Nice profit margin:) Perhaps I should start an Esty store lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeveless-jacket-laid-flat#post-973149 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:19:55 +0000 Anonymous 973149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great!

It is straight, so creates a similar collared look, but doesn't 'waterfall'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sleeveless-jacket-laid-flat#post-973133 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 09:29:42 +0000 Anonymous 973133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deb! how interesting.
