Five Down, Five to Go

I finished setting the sleeves and started putting the ribbon ties on my 1610's jacket last night. I've got five ties sewn on and five pinned so my hopes are high of finishing tonight! I'd be done now, if I hadn't goofed when cutting out the jacket and forgotten to leave a little overlap so i could pin it shut. Still, the ribbons are pretty and will add a little interest to an otherwise plain jacket. I'll try to remember to leave a little more fabric next time. this is what I get for trying to modify my usual method of cutting out 18th century bodices.

Due to a lot of reading the last few days, I've caught up to where I was on my 1936 sweater. I still have lot more reading to do so it's actually likely to see more progress in the next few days. The ship pinball is inching along; I've been working at it at odd moments, but it's not moving very fast.
