I love the way that the six different jackets that are patterned in 17th Century Women's Dress Patterns are constructed in six different ways. I can put mine together pretty much any way I want to. For those who are curious, I'm whipping the pieces together then putting the lining in and felling it to the outer layer. I hadn't been planning to line it at all, but my linen is a little too lightweight so it's getting a lining after all.

The gores are set, the side seams are sewn, and I'm putting in the body of the lining now. I'm pleased and rather surprised with my rate of progress.

Good luck finishing in time. I can't wait to see what you've done.
