Real Sewing

I actually tested the jacket muslin that I cut and basted Wednesday night, cut out the linen, and started sewing it together. It's going to be hand-sewn, but so far it's going reasonably quickly.

I'm very excited to be getting back to historical sewing. I still have a couple of weekends of work left on my husband's cross-stitched lady, but then my time is my own. Or I start making Christmas ornaments for the children. For now, I'm pretending that I'm free to sew whatever I want, and that will be my 1780's jacket.
