Lapels, Pockets, Cuffs


One lapel is done now, and the pocket flaps and linings are cut out, and the white part of the cuffs. I used a lot of the tablecloth on the godet inserts for the coat skirt--they were a contrasting color in the Hornblower dvds and I am sweating how much Navy corduroy I have left, so I decided to go for the white godets without knowing if that was "right" or not. I also had a challenge cutting around more soup stains and even a couple of moth holes, and for the cuffs I ended up sacrificing a couple of napkins. It looks like I have enough blue for the sleeves, though, and the pockets will be functional and not just a decorative flap. The gold braid supply is getting low, too.
