And it just HAPPENED to pass the burn test.
18th century bed jacket it is. Yes, I could have made the JP Ryan jacket or a short cloak from Nora Waugh's clothes. There's other wool in the stash for the cloak, and I'm hoping that either the purple or the green will be enough for the JP jacket. The last time I made this garment, it came out wrong.
Using the instruction's over at this fabulous website, the name of which I *think* is Marquis? I did a little digging and I'm not clear on that. All their measurements are in centimeters, so I stuck with that when I drafted my own scale pattern with graph paper, and assumed that one square measured 5 cm.
I really needed to see this go together before I made it, and it helped confirm that the measurements I took were correct.
*I did not look at the instructions when putting together the shawl collar neck, and with the lining, it came out a little wonky. But it still fits. I did it backwards from how you're supposed to do it, that's all I can remember because again, not looking at the instructions!
It's easier to see on the right side of the garment what the seams are doing. I'll probably pick the stitches out and hand stitch that spot.
