I searched the sewing room

and no buttons. They must be in Harry Potter's room...darn it. I really didn't feel like dragging all that out. Hmmm...might check the scarp box first.

Anyway, the Turkish coat looks like a good Italian interpretation of a Turkish coat. :-) Mom hopefully will like it (and get to wear it!). I'll sew up the chemise for it tonight hopefully. I think I might add some simple lace to the sleeves like in the Portrait of a Lady wear the green turkish/italian coat.

Another update on Turkish Coat

I went over to Mom and Dad's this afternoon. Mom tried on the coat. I have to take it in a bit and it should work great. She likes the feel of it so that works well.
After I take the thing in, I'll add the green velvet trim and a bunch of faux pearls. I'll probably end up using some old pearl buttons because the silver buttons have completely disappeared. I found the straw base I want for my Turkish hat but no buttons. It's really odd. Oh well, the pearl buttons will probably work even better than the silver.
I didn't get to work on the chemise for it. I'll work on that tomorrow night.
