sewing updates

Today I got back to the 1895 walking suit. Made the lapels twice as I screwed them up at the last minute. Once done, I got the velvet collar and lapels on. Then I made the center front faux blouse. I discovered that using such a stiff lace wasn't the greatest choice because of the gathering that is involved, but I made it work. Wished I had white hook and eye tape as I looked at all the hooks and eyes I need to sew on. Considering ordering some. At that point, it was 5pm and I knew I'd never finish the suit to wear tonight, so I picked up a side project: pvc short sleeved shrug.
got pieces cut out, sewn together, sleeves made (and one made twice when a pin got jammed under the needle, putting a big hole in the fabric. Opps!) and sewn on. Stopped at 7pm to start cleaning as I think J's friend is coming to the club with us tonight.
Once again, neither project finished to wear tonight. Costume fail.
