The challenge: an 18th century swallowtail jacket
Materials: vegetable dye paisley cotton
Pattern: jacket from Costume Close-up
Hours to complete: 20-30. All handsewn, plus an extra set of sleevils that didn't work.
First worn: Not yet.
Total cost: $0, all from the stash.
Coming soon-ish will be some details about the way I like to construct 18th and early 19th century garments. And modern stuff, too, because there are some really clever techniques.
