I've been slowly but steadily working on hubby's formal silk waistcoat all summer, since I know that he will have an official event in early October. I still have to finish the shawl collar neckline and add handsewn buttonholes. The front facade is tan silk jaquard, and the lining and backing are polished cotton (although the cotton has lost its polish already). Once we receive the Frock coat from the tailor, he should be all set to play the groom at our event (I of course am the blushing bride :)!
I also picked out the pattern for the boys' nightshirts and I hope to spend most of this weekend sewing. Once I get through all the boy's & men's things I might be able to get back to dressmaking. I've been sort of burned out on sewing this summer since it seemed all my projects were must-makes instead of want-to-makes. Hopefully that will change soon as the sewing project pile is diminishing and must be replenished! I'm excited to get back into the blogs and creativity!
