- Ok this shirt is basically done, I have to put the button holes and buttons in but it is done. So since I hope to have this out of my sewing room tonight that it first on the list.
- One this project, I have got it apart and tonight I take his measurements again. Plan is to have this finished by the end of the weekend. The other jacket - my jacket- is on hold till I get through the holidays.
- This is on hold till after the holidays. Can not find a Dress form in my size and I would really like to have one to work on this project.
- This is the big one, I mean BIG.There are actually 8 jackets that have been commissioned. Govanen came into the fabric store and looked at all the material there was and decided on black linen. I added up all the yardage needed and it looks to be about 31 yards of black linen and about 80 buttons those I will probably find online a lot cheaper than in any store. I started thinking of this project and since it is basically a Christmas present from Govanen and myself to the household I decided that it should be a bit more rounded out so I am making shirts with hopefully blackwork on the collars and cuffs for the senior members of the house and just blackwork on the cuffs for the juniors. Then I thought what about the bottom half. So the boys are getting pants and the girls are getting skirts. So this is going to be ALL that I am working on for the next 2 months. My plan is for the household to wear them to midwinter and look smashing.
So there ya go. My crazy ass plan for the rest of the year.
