1/8" narrow hems? Check. Stroked gathers? Check. Flat felled seams? Check. Button links for the cuffs? Check. All hand-sewn except for the long seams under the arms and up the sides? Check. Skin missing from the middle of my needle-pushing finger? Check.
Parts 3 and 4 are in progress. Maybe I'll post pictures as I go along ...
Test fitting the patterns for Parts 5 and 6 have begun. Part 7 should be the easy one. (HAHAHAH.)
Oh, and it needs to be done by Columbus Day.
Looks great, would hate to have to wear it! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt does look fantastic. I am in awe.
ReplyDeleteSo, how's everything going?
ReplyDeleteJust sew-sew?
Old NFO - I don't think it would fit you. Especially the stays underneath. So you're safe.
ReplyDeleteKeads - thanks.
DT - I'm sorry, did you type something? I can't hear yooooooooooooooou!.
I have to admit I don't know what all that means, but from the picture it does look ambitious. Please let us know when you have pictures of MSgt B wearing it.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Andy, do not know anything about it, but as with everything you do, it looks impressive.
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome!!! I would so wear that to my cowboy shoots....cause you know 'it's always better to look good, than to shoot good'.....
ReplyDeleteAre you doing this from scratch or a pattern?
On a side note, I think we need a gun blogger black powder shoot.....
CGB: From scratch and a blurry photo of a couple of originals. Thanks for the compliment!
ReplyDeleteMichael W. (Doin' the Time Warp) and I have been kicking the subject of a black powder shoot around, we're just trying to find a location a location in the mid-atlantic area.
Exquisite worksmanship (and modeling)! Better than the typical SAS buckskin fare.
