Kickin' some pirate booty

I'm running behind, ba-dum dum ching!

Well anyway, I have reached a milestone in the Purim sewing marathon. I have done all the necessary machine sewing on the jacket. Yay me! And I'm thinking it looks pretty good:



I know I would have wanted one when I was a kid, and I wasn't even a pirate girl. I could sew a back belt with 2 buttons on it - it would look very good I think. If I have time I will. But other than that I only have hand sewing to do... but that's a lot. There are like a gazillion buttons on this thing. I need to tack down the points on the trim which may actually take less time than I think. (I hope.) And I need to slip stitch the lining armscye closed. (And ideally re-do the other one because it wasn't as nice as I'd like, but that ain't gonna happen.)

But anyway, avast ye mateys and behold my mini-pirate jacket, or I'll make ye walk the plank!
