The facing refers to the piece of cloth that covers the front of the lapel and which extends into the inside of the jacket next to your chest. The word is mostly used in the plural.
It is time for TG#4 to receive the facings. First, I created a facing pattern then cut out a piece from garment fabric.
The lapels need to be prepared to receive the facings by having the seam allowance trimmed to 1 cm (less at the notch) then folded over the lapel edge and sewn with a diagonal stitch.
Cabrera offers two methods of attaching the facing, by machine or by hand. I chose to go the fatto a mano way.
