I have half the cape sewn, the outside seams are all stitched, it needs the interfaced and stitched collar attached and the lining pieces sewn together. I think I can get most of this done in the next class and if I get my machine fixed, then I might even have the cape finished before the next term starting in January of the dressmaking course.
Tomorrow, I'll see about pinning the lining pieces together so they're ready to sew and pin the collar to the body so that's ready to sew as well. Pinning almost takes longer than the sewing does but the curves on this demand pinning so it's not shifting anywhere.
Need to decide if I'm going to attach any Russia/soutache braid or decorations to the cape, currently it's rather dull with just the plain black and bottle green. I'm open to suggestions. I'm trying to avoid the gears motifs because a) I don't have any suitable motifs and b) it's kinda overdone, even if this is going to be a garment for the steampunk/gaslight fantasy costume.
