The finished jacket on the left, center picture is the inside pocket.

Above and below: one sleeve attached, no zipper yet.

Above: close up of zipper. Pretty, isnt' it? Below: outside of jacket showing finished pocket.

Andrea said that Todd's jacket fits great and that he's been wearing it all week. yeah!
In other news: I read a little about making bodices for my new gown. I have to make some curtains for my mother first. They won't take long, kitchen cafe, 100% cotton, straight lines.
I'm going to try to use the corset pattern generator from? Elizabethan Costuming? Drea Leed?
I have to decide on which course of action to take. With the first gown, I boned the bodice, attached it to the shirt and that was all the support I had. This time, the bodice opens in front, I think I want something under my camicia for modesty. I dont' need boob support, but dont' want to feel like I'm wearing a Bob Mackie from the 1980's.
