I was wondering if you more experienced sewists could hold my hand a bit on this. I'm making the School Days coat with a laminate cotton and cotton lining. I'd like to use sew-in magnetic snaps but couldn't find much in the forums in terms of how to actually do this. I saw someone put them on the outside of the fabric in a different jacket so the snaps were actually exposed, but I am considering putting them inside the layers so that you can't see the snaps.
So, if I were to do this, would I do it on the steps that tell me to apply the Velcro but do it on the wrong side of the fabric instead of the right side? And do you think 2 are really enough to hold the coat closed? This is the size 7.
I am sure I am overthinking this but this would be the biggest change I've made to a pattern in my relatively short sewing career so I want to make sure I'm doing it correctly!
Thanks!
