Today was my day off and my goal was to get the lapels, cuffs and pocket flaps completed. Well... I got close.

The lapels are complete and attached and the cuffs have some detailing. You can click on any of the pictures below to see a bigger image in a new window.

I needed a break (so did my fingers) from applying trim so I made my necklace with those cool skull beads. The whites are pearls, the bicones are swarovskies and the spacers are cheapies. ; ) Now I just need earrings

The day was full of mishaps...lapel on upside down first... applied cuff trim to wrong side and I strung that necklace 3 times before I was happy (enough) with it. Sigh.

Once I get the pocket flaps done, I could be ... done. I can't decide if I want to go around the top of the cuffs with trim and if I want to do any trim on the back side.

The back side is supposed to have some buttons and trim edging the skirt vents. I would like to do a little but doubt I will do all the pattern calls for.

But tonight I'm done. My fingers are so sore! I broke down and bought some of those little leather thimbles today. They definitely help, but the damage is done!
