From the album: Women's Hunting Coat
Yikes, a pleat! Following the guidelines on my patterns, I started out by marking (I used pins, but you can use chalk or a white pencil) where the pleat lines were. I then made the proper folds and pinned them into place. After losing a bit of blood, I finally got the two pleats pinned. I recommend doing at the same time. This will allow you to make sure that both sides match before sewing.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

Here I am going over the outer edges of the coat. This took forever because of all the fabric and pinning. If you're wanting a nice edge on a coat that has a liner, you're going to want to pin the edge so there is no overlap and then you'll want to lay a straight stitch over the edge about a 1/4" from the edge. It takes time, but you get a stronger edge and it will lay flat.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

By this point I have the liner and the shell attached and turned to the proper side. As you can sees, the edges of the coat are finished because they have a ballooning effect going on. I also have not done the pleats yet.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

I attached the bias tape only along the center back seam of the liner with a simple zig-zag stitch. When turned inside out (later) it will not show.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

Used some old bias tape for reinforcement along the center back seam of the liner (taffeta - thin material). This was typically done with muslin strips. This will help prevent the back from tearing out because it helps to disperse the strain from the thread.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

Got my main pieces (the front and back) cut out. This was actually a long process because the pieces are so big and I had to cut 2 pieces of both types of fabric.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

I just finished a bowl of asparagus and butter beans. Now I'm just having some coffee.

Alright, so he might notbe a pirate, but he is a captain.

I'll have to check some of those out.

Costumes.org is a great reference site.

I tried the mesquite bbq sauce last night with chicken and it was pretty good.

That article just meant that it wasn't overly popular. How about these names: Sarah Fuller Flower Adams, Donatien Alphonse François (Marquis de Sade), Sir John Eardley Wilmot (the judge, not Earl of Rochester), John Codrington Warwick Bampfylde, François Marie Arouet (Voltaire), August Wilhelm Schlegel, Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel, James Fenimore Cooper, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Jean le Rond d'Alembert, John Singleton Copely, Richard Dobbs Spaight, William Samuel Johnson, Charles Cotesworth “C. C.” Pinckney, William Richardson Davie, Richard Henry Lee, Francis Lightfoot Lee, and John Francis Mercer.

I've noticed that there are quite a few brands of food/drink out there with pirate labels. If you find something, post it! I have not been able to find this up here in Alaska, but I've been seeing it in magazines. I have seen this at the stores around here, but have only tried the blue kind that's not listed here. The Pirate Sauce Company - With three types of sauces: Volcano Sauce, Fire Monkey Sauce, and Voodoo Sauce. Pirate's Alley Rum Cake....sounds good.

Not the best lighting, but that's a teal polyester lining fabric. Pre-washed to avoid movement and shrinkage in the future.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

This is the fabric I'm going with for the outer part of the coat. It's 100% Cotton. Croscill Home, print: West Indies Pissarro Chocolate. This is a close up of the print and is more true to color then the second photo.<br /><br />http://www.joann.com...ODID=xprd779967© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

Oops! Unforeseen problem. I thought 4 yards would be enough. I guess it's another trip to the fabric store tomorrow.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

I folded the two parts along their fold lines. The old patterns (I cut them out to be sure of this) fold differently from each other. The front folds run along the same line as the front of the coat - this means that I could fold it and cut along the straight bottom. Easy. The back doesn't do this, so once I cut the front, I lined up the outer fold edges so the front and back would be the same length. This meant trimming the back just a little bit. My two largest pieces of my pattern finally looked like the pattern pieces from Diedrot's.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

It took a good twenty minutes to make sure I had the front torso done correctly. If you notice I have two colors on the paper - I was starting to lose my lines with just the single color. The front was a bit tougher, but having finished the back made it go faster.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

It took a bit more paper to get the back portion finished.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

Starting with the back, I marked out the jacket shape, using my pictures of old Diedrot patterns. Made allowances for room and area of body (because we aren't flat like paper). I started the length by marking the bottom at where I wanted it to fall to, then added an extra inch. I went from there using the pictures of the old patterns as a guide.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010

I started out by getting my mom to trace my outline onto some butcher paper, marking where my armpits and shoulders were. I also did my arm with help.© © Pyracy.com 2002 - 2010
