I sewed a lot of trim on my black Jacobean jacket. But there’s still more to do! Got the godets outlined in black braid, put on the lace at the collar, and eeked out a bit more of the crewel edging for cuffs. But I want to edge the sleeves’ crewel stripes in a narrow loop lace (looks more like a braid, and I don’t have enough gimp), and put braid along the bottom edge.<\/p>\n
Aaaaand I need to figure out fastenings for the front of the jacket. I want to use pink ribbon bows and may, except the front overlaps to show off the crewel edging. Not sure where the ribbon would fit in that design. Might also need pins (hidden snaps?) anyway to close smoothly.<\/p>\n
I’m really in a costuming mood right now. Mostly because I want to go to events, but since I can’t, I want to make a bunch of clothes so when I *can* go again, I’ll look really good. Except the heat makes it really f-ing difficult to work! So frustrating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
