Hey there! Thanks for choosing our pattern! I think I saw your friend's order come through overnight.

If you have any questions on construction, you know where to find me.

You are welcome. It was the first one I could think of to recommend, and if I get stuck, I know I could pester you "as an Experienced Seamstress". Don't worry, I will read and re-read your directions and notes first. ;-)

Good! But please PLEASE don't be afraid to ask, even if you think it's a "dumb" question. 18th century tailoring is different from 16th century tailoring in many ways, and it might throw you.

But I'll be here. You know I'm surgically attached to my computer. =)

Ok, I do have a question... do you have directions on modern sewing techniques in the directions? And would it be worth getting a serger to sew the edges up for finishing, or is the inside completely hidden with the lining?

I keep telling myself I want a serger, but I keep putting it off... so now I am thinking maybe it might be worth getting to speed up the edge finishing at least, but I don't want to end up banging my head late at night figuring out sergers. Any thoughts?
