What was I thinking?
I had something even better!
I had some great one-on-one time with Youngest Son!
We hung out, ate bad for us food, and watched some movies.

The pocket pieces for 4 pockets. |

Pocket flap--thread traced, basted interfacing and right sides basted--ready to be machine stitched |
The progress on this has been slow. I didn't make a muslin. I thread basted all of the markings because there is no lining. I might change that if I can't pretty it up a little.

I must really be trusting to put this out in public! This is my hideous buttonhole. No where near my sample. |
There is a lot of hand stitching and the I love the techniques. I just don't have the patience right now after just finishing my LWD less than two weeks ago. I have even cheated a little.

Buttonhole completed--It still needs to be trimmed. |
After all the basting and stitching, I have the four pockets finished, two basted pleats and two front tucks.
I now need a break before working on the front where I will be working on the roll line and some pad stitching. I'm starting to wonder if I will get this done this week.
Wow! I am in awe that you would do something this extensive! Good luck with this undertaking... Oh, and I am so glad you got to spend some time with you son : )
ReplyDeleteThanks Vanessa. I don't know if I deserve awe. I jump in without thinking if I am actually capable. Youngest Son was tied of just Mom after a few hours. At least he tries to humor me.
