>Two steps forward, one step back- but at least I finally have the sleeves set! I did add a little padding to the sleeve cap to give it volume, but after seeing it on the form I think I’ll take it out. I’m pretty happy with it, even though it’s being a complete bear! Mostly lining to finish now plus buttons and buttonholes. Our event is two weeks from tomorrow and I still don’t have his vest finished or a gown for myself!

I am much more looking foward to playing with silk than doing lining. Booooring!At least the tails have been secured. Lining, buttonholes, pocketflaps, and I'm done! Yay!
