Present Joys

I haven’t posted any photos of new shirts lately. I promise it’s not because of laziness! I’ve been completely caught up in making a coat. The past week and a half have been spent reading old tailoring books and drafting patterns. I’ve learned a lot about cutting and fitting in the past few days.

So I’m making an odd jacket out of brown hopsack linen. This morning I cut out the fronts, made pockets, and started working on the interlining. I have no clue if it’s going to be any good, but I’m having lots of fun doing something different.
