Surcote in progress

[sister_raphael]

Inside seam of a rather thick, felted wool thingy? What is it?

It's a striped surcote made out of old blanket wool. I was going to sell this off, but after having it out, I decided maybe I'll finish it off and keep it myself. Anyway, I've been trying to finish the inside seams this week after work, and I'm down to the last seam. Because of the blanket I've made it from, it hasn't got the armholes shaped yet. I needed to see what fabric I had and how high it would go, but you'll get the idea.

Your scissors are so like the hand sheep shears that you sometimes still see being used.

They do! I have some vintage sheep shearers and they're a little different, but not much!
