It seemed like a good idea at the time, when I was planning a &#8216;family&#8217; theme.  I managed to &#8216;sell&#8217; it to Robin, but no-one else, and he still wanted to go as Time.  For those of you who haven&#8217;t seen it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"680\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/time.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/time.jpg 564w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/time-249x300.jpg 249w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How on earth was I going to do this?  There were some relatively simple bits &#8211; a silver \/ grey waistcoat &#8211; which I somehow made a size too small.  Too many versions of the pattern and I just selected the wrong one.  Nightmare &#8211; but it just about fit!  I had made it reversible (again), silver \/ grey outside and pocket watch inside.  Proper welt pockets on both sides (I hate fakes).  And matching buttons \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203454-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203454-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203454-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203454-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The jacket was again based on the &#8216;planes&#8217; jacket I had previously made for my son, but instead of the shaping at the back I added in some contrasting godets.  The jacket is lined with matching pocket watch fabric and has silver \/ grey cuffs matching the waistcoat.  Then came the more difficult bit, how to do those fabulous shoulders?  The reason for these extra buttons will become apparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203524-e1560282372679-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"430\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/20190611_203524\/\" class=\"wp-image-430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203524-e1560282372679-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203524-e1560282372679-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203524-e1560282372679-768x1365.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203558-e1560282366141-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"431\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/20190611_203558\/\" class=\"wp-image-431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203558-e1560282366141-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203558-e1560282366141-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203558-e1560282366141-768x1365.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought some buckram which I thought would be stiff enough.  I wasn&#8217;t sure how I would fix them to the jacket (or how it would fit in a wardrobe) so decided to make them removable.  Lots of issues here!!  Sewing through the buckram being one of them!  I decided to try and button them on!! Why??  Buttonholes through the thickness was really difficult!!  But it just about worked.  I also added some silver piping to try and create the look of Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had only recently got my embroidery machine, so I wanted to use that to add something, and to make it clearer it was Time in case it didn&#8217;t turn out well.  I wanted to create something steampunky and time related&#8230;. erm maybe a cog \/ clock.  Now there are PLENTY of embroidery designs you can buy on the internet, but I couldn&#8217;t find exactly what I wanted, and I had paid a lot for the design software so had to try it myself!  I would re-use the design I created here for something else for me!  Note that each cog has a different time on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20170724_110530-1-e1560282425749-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"421\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/20170724_110530-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20170724_110530-1-e1560282425749-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20170724_110530-1-e1560282425749-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203622-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"432\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/20190611_203622\/\" class=\"wp-image-432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203622-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203622-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203622-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203649-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"434\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/20190611_203649\/\" class=\"wp-image-434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203649-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203649-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203649-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203630-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"433\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/20190611_203630\/\" class=\"wp-image-433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203630-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203630-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/20190611_203630-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I added a furry &#8216;cape&#8217; for additional effect, and tried to create a similar chain.
