Wow, I finished everything

All I had to finish sewing after work was the fastenings, but it took a while to gear myself up to sew thread bars. They're alright once I get going, but how I hate the idea of them before I start! Besides, I could always pin the spencer closed...

buuuuut I sternly told myself it would be ridiculous not to put fastenings on if I had the time, and I did, so I have fastenings. Woo.

I like the trim I ended up using, I just wish I'd had more of it! But it was Stash trim, and a few years old, so of course the J has gotten rid of it since then. Really ought to have it around the collar too...but I had an inch and a half left over, so that is that.

And I've been checking the weather forecast obsessively; looks like we'll have no rain! Rained itself out tonight. Whew.
