Here is what happens when you get too comfortable:



I normally use 18th century assembly techniques. To save time, I switched to 20th century midstream. The front opening is curved and obviously I'm not smart enough. The depressing part is the left side looks better, but neither is great. I'm going to put this one aside for awhile.

As punishment, I am going to start a mid-18th century summer coat--using L'Art du Tailleur by M. de Garsault. Published in 1768, it describes, step by step, how to make a coat. I have some hemp drill I got cheap from the fire sale following the production of HBO's John Adams.

Since LiveJournal keeps crapping out on me I am going to switch to Blogger. Come see me at http://drunktailor.blogspot.com/
