I’m still working on V8940. The fronts have all their understructure and padstitching. Which is a roundabout way of saying that everything I’ve done so far happens before Step 1 of the pattern. I did mention I’m slow, right?
Given that it’s the later part of winter here, I’m sewing toward next winter.
I referenced several books (listed in my last post about the coat) while making decisions — (Ledbetter and Lansing’s is particularly good for choosing between methods) — but now that I’m sewing, referencing too many makes me muddled, so I’ve stuck to the very clear, one-method Cabrera book (even though I have the women’s version) and Poulin for adapting it to menswear.
I’d be further along if I hadn’t seen a dirt cheap copy of Dragon Age: Inquisition and played it through the end. Now my favorite, easily surpassing Skyrim and Witcher III (for me at least — those are probably fighting words to many). So although I’m sewing every weekend, I took a few detours to Thedas. :/
