mandie_rwI am sewing, I promise! I just couldn't bring myself to sew the jacket on the machine, when I brought the pieces out last night (had a nasty headache Monday night, & didn't sew anything). I mean, I was going to finish all the inside seams by hand anyway, so...it's really not adding much more construction time onto it!
Not bothering with construction pictures for this, because I am lazy and it is a jacket. Also because I'm sewing it The 18th Century Way, which is pretty much totally wrong, but I'm comfortable with that so it goes pretty quickly...so there. The gussets are sewn in both sides, and one front piece is attached to the back, and as soon as I get off here I'm going to go put the rest of it together. Sans sleeves.
Still not sure how close to actually finished this whole thing is going to be for Sunday, but as long as the jacket itself is done, I'm fine. I can fudge the coif with a tucked-under 18thc cap and I can fudge the smock with an 18thc shift if I have to. And I have Friday off, so I'm not worried about being at least presentable on Sunday!
And the jacket was going to be pinned shut anyway!
