sister_raphaelThe outside of the surcote has the two gold A's completely finished now, and I'm just waiting for the lining fabric to arrive.
Meanwhile I've started the green kirtle to wear underneath it. I've got the inside seams machined and then the lower dress seams all stitched down by hand since it'll be unlined and they'll show. I've got the upper torso sewn but not stitched down until I can do a dress fitting.
I've got the reinforcing strips sewn in down both sides of the front and now just need to mark out and sew 40 eyelets for the lacing. I really want to do that before the fitting so it closes up properly. I hope I'll just be able to take it in at the sides and back seam.
And I've still to cut the sleeves and do all the buttonholes on those.
