I hate doing repairs on things...Especially replacing zippers in jackets. Even more so when the jacket's I'm fixing smell like stale cigarette smoke.
BARF!
Oh well, it's money. I have 3 to fix by Saturday. No problem.
Instead of doing zippers I have been playing at drafting a pair of breeches for the hubster. He actually told me that before I can make anymore girly dress stuff I have to make him an outfit. Yippee! I have him hooked. I picked up a dark green ladies long jacket at the thrift store for 6.50 which should have more than enough fabric to make a Frock coat for the hubster. I'm also gonna try and keep my eyes out for a large enough pair of fine wale corduroy pants to make the breeches after they have been muslin'd and fit.
I also have to finish cutting out the stays for Sam and sew up the prototype. Hopefully I can do a better job at taking pics and blogging about the process.
Cheers!
Let's hear more about this Sam character, she sounds very interesting:)
