Back to the Machines

Well, the turkey dinner was scrumtious, the tree is up and trimmed...it's time to get sewing again. Today's agenda is simply to get the lining in, tails on, and buttonholes made in the Victorian Gentleman's Jacket, Butterick 3648. If I can get it done to the handwork, I can give it to fellow castmember and sometime sewing gentleman at church tomorrow and he'll finish it. He bought the fabric; it's his jacket anyway. I've got the jacket shell finished and shoulder pads in; I have hopes of getting it done today. I'll post a review and a photo when the two of us jointly have finished it out!
