Besides making the muslin and getting it fitted, I have finished what I consider to be the most challenging part of the jacket: setting in the sleeves. I never feel that my sleeves go in easily. It almost always seems a real struggle. This time, it wasn't too bad. I used the sleeves from the original coat making some small modifications, but otherwise keeping them the same. They are not perfect, but they are in. I did add some flannel in the sleeve cap to help it keeps its shape.
I am now working on the skirt of the coat, which is a lot of fun, and much easier. I am a bit worried, as the deadline is fast approaching and I still have to finish the coat, line both the coat and the skirt, dyeing the fabric for both, and making and embroidering the top. Back to work...
