I slept until nine this morning. Yay!
And this is my weekend with all the kids so I'm not going to do any work on the summary or abstract at all. Just enjoy myself and sew some more on my murrey surcoat. Actually I finished the body of it yesterday so now it's only the neckline and the sleeves left to do. This means that I have to find some other hand sewing to bring along when I go to Stockholm on Sunday. I will probably cut out the hood and bring it along, it's small and will hopefully not take more time to sew than the evening on Sunday and the train trip home on monday. On the way up I'm flying, which leaves much less space for sewing and I need to prepare for the TV-show on Monday morning anyway. I have to find buttonhole silk in the right colour for the buttonholes, but that really shouldn't be a problem in the capital of this country.

I have now made the changes for the first part of the summary that [livejournal.com profile] peronel suggested as well as her general suggestions and also changed some of the things suggested by [livejournal.com profile] therru and this is how it looks now.
But I am not going to work today, really, promise!

WTF?

So, I sew the sleeves for the murrey surcoat, I sew the linings, I put them together and discover two things:

1. One of the sleeve linings is 8 cm shorter than the other and also than the actual sleeves. It is also ca 6 cm wider.

2. The sleeves are too narrow for my liking, It is doubtful if I could get the sleeves of the tunic under them. This is only reasonable, since they turned out to be 8 cm narrower than the actual sleeve hole. I know for certain I wasn't drinking when I cut the sleeves, but sometimes you really wonder.

I don't have enough fabric to make new sleeves, but I can add a strip of fabric to the existing sleeves; pieceing is period I hear ;)
At least I have enough of the lining fabric to cut new linings.
