Leonard’s pants are done, or as done as they’re going to get for now.

I plan to make the buttons in the car ride to Oregon, so I’ll sew them on last minute. Also, I may just safety pin the fly closed bec. it’s weird. Kinda needs smaller buttons to lay flat and I don’t have any.

Luckily, my waistcoat is long enough to cover all that!

Later that day…

Getting closer … Leo’s coat is maybe 3/4ths finished. Major parts are assembled and lined, pockets are in, buttonholes done, sleeve mocked up.

Tired tho — bedtime!
