Two projects in one weekend. Boom!
Challenge #4: War & Peace
Fabric: poly brocade, cotton lining
Pattern: Laughing Moon #123
Year: 1806 - 1830
Notions: thread, interfacing, lion buttons
How historically accurate is it? 60%. Fabric pattern is ok, but not natural. Modern interfacing.
First worn: Will be worn May 16th
Time: Maybe 4 hours including a fabric store run for the buttons.
Cost: $8
This was a really easy pattern. I'm loving Laughing Moon patterns. Super easy instructions, great diagrams, and a bibliography! I love how the collar stands up and frames the face. Obviously will look better once the cravat is done.
Next up is the tailcoat. Any advice? I'm feeling a little apprehensive.
