My bf's 18th c suit is coming along, though the deadline is nearing! His waistcoat is completely finished except for buttons. The coat still needs cuffs, buttons, and the lining put in, but that's it. And I've drafted out a pattern for his breeches, and cut out all the fashion fabric for them. I'll cut out the lining in the morning, and then assemble them. I just really hope they work, since I've never made 18th c breeches before!
I've put him in charge of sewing on buttons. I had initially assigned him the task of making little lace cuffs we could track onto his shirt, but that seemed to be too much for him. Luckily, I should be able to do that pretty quickly. I'll have a couple hours to work tomorrow morning, and then it's just all day Saturday leading up to the Halloween party he's wearing it to that night (and the SITU event the next day). His shoes should get here tomorrow, which were the last things we were waiting on to arrive, and hopefully I'm not forgetting anything he needs!
Anyway here's a pic of the almost finished waistcoat, along with the jacket, on Antoinette. She's a bit more busty than he is!

Oh, and in other news, I have another short term costuming job for a week or two, stitching for Seattle Children's Theatre's next show. Then it's probably pretty much right back over to ACT for Christmas Carol after that.
