Oct. 22nd, 2014 02:22 amI'm alive, just swamped. Somehow I got it into my mind to make my boyfriend an 18th c outfit in a little over a week. Somehow he got it into his mind that instead of a nice plain wool suit, he wanted a highly decorated ensemble. He has even decided to go whole hog and rush ship a pair of Fugawees fire the outfit.
At least I talked him into trim instead of embroidery?
This is where I am now: jacket needs cuffs, pockets are half done, buttons, and lining. I think I'm going to skip the buttonholes, because who's going to see them anyway? The waistcoat is cut out and serged, with the first seams pinned and ready to be sewn. Breeches are not even patterned yet, and if course, he wants the h/a kind, even though I told him they'll probably be uncomfortable. Oh, and he's wearing this all for the first time on Saturday night.
Here's a pic of the back all splayed out on Antoinette.
