Main fabric disintered from stash: Very dark navy with white pinstripe at 1/4" intervals. Wool/poly mix, ideal for speed tailoring. Lining, pocketing, waistband stuff, and more hair canvas ordered from Sidtrim Male tailor's dummy ordered: should arrive tomorrow... Version 1 of pattern for jacket and trousers drafted and printed. Will need to draft lining pattern... I love Tailor Made! Tailoring book ordered. Not sure if it'll arrive in time, but this is an extra as I alread have the basic info elsewhere... It's more for the 'proper' suit later...
To do this pm: Clear off cutting surfaces Tile and stick patterns together. Cut and sew toiles.
This will be a Fast Suit, using speed tailoring and machine finishing wherever possible. It'll do to test the pattern. If I need to refine the pattern, I can do so for the Good Suit later. I'll try to do pix, but they may be less helpful than some of my past projects due to time constraints.
Have already committed most of tomorrow to another project (my LSF student), so time even more precious than usual. But c'mON! Have I not pulled rabbits from places where there were no hats until I made them?
Had beans on toast for lunch, so am suitably fueled up for jet-propelled sewing! :P
