All the major shell pieces are cut out. The articulated knees are finished and the rear pockets are sewn on. I’ve also made a lining: it’s a nylon / dacron / interfacing sandwich, quilted together. I haven’t decided whether it will have elastic cuffs independent of the shell, or whether the shell & lining cuffs will just be sewn together.

Next I will make some zippered front pockets, and I should have enough time to sew up the main body seams tonight. That’ll leave the zipper fly, the waistband, and the cuffs for tomorrow.

I spent a couple of hours working on shop improvements today, too. The heat in the south half of the space was not working, and it was uncomfortably chilly in there last night. We’d been talking about installing programmable thermostats anyway, so I bought a pair. Now the shop will heat itself up during the day and cool back down at night – it should already be warm for the first person who arrives. Also I got a dozen more little plastic bins for the big wooden cabinet: two of its eight shelves are now devoted to little containers. We’ll put all the sewing and crafting tools in there, and some of the sewing notions too.
