Coming down to the wire!

Actually the challenge ends tomorrow!!  I'm going to be fairly close but won't be making it....

Today was lace, lace, lace....Tacking down lace.  The lace has to be tacked down well because it will catch on anything and everything, besides that it doesn't want to lay nice and neatly.  It is all done by hand and takes a lot of little stitches.



So far, the neckline is about done, the epaulets need to be attached.  The cuffs on the sleeves needs to have the lace tacked down, the hook and eyes on the back closing need to be added and I have to figure out what I am going to do about the "belt".  The pattern doesn't say anything about how to finish off the bottom hem, it just says you can use a fancy belt.  I also may get some more of the lace for the collar.
