Fancy Pants are nearly done, time for the doublet.

So here are Tim's slops, nearly finished.  They just need their eyelets, and they'll be complete. 

There was a great deal of hand work in these.  Lots of cartridge pleating, of course, but also all the flat lining, button-holes, and bias edging.

They are made of this really great wool which has a very high twill weave, and we thought would be super cool if the twill chevroned at the point where I was putting in the pockets.

Well that didn't work.  My dear friend MaritaBeth pointed out that it wasn't working because I couldn't use the back side.  Duh!  I've been sick, and I will use that as the excuse.  Of course I wasn't sick when I thought of the idea, but we will ignore that.    This is one of the finished pockets.  I hid them in the down side of the cartridge pleats so they wouldn't gap.  Pretty cool.

This is one of the egs after I had finished the cartridge pleating.

There are plenty more pictures on Flickr, and I will add the in process to this later, when I have more time.  Now I must sleep.

~Cheers
