Well, it's been a very unusual time in the Jones' household since my last post. Lots more doctor visits for Greg, but his medication is finally sorted and it will be back to work on Monday. We took the car to the repairer on Thursday and it won't be ready on Monday 8th as originally thought but on the 17th so we got the hire car that comes as part of our insurance policy.
On the sewing front, I have been trying to work on the wedding outfits. I have managed to almost complete both Henrican flat caps. They just need to have the feathers stitched onto the brim.

I have also been working on my kirtle, putting in eyelets and doing the lacing. It's just about finished, there is 1/8th of the hem left to handsew which I will have no trouble doing this evening while watching tv. I spent the last 2 days drafting the pattern for my husband's coat. Enlarging the drawing from a ladies gown pattern to a men's size was a bit tricky but it is now all cut out. Next job is to re-read the sewing instructions, and cut out the lining. Attempting to squeeze this sewing in between trips out and doing the basic household chores has been hard work.
I have also stitched lots of coloured hexagons while sitting in waiting rooms and then I put them into sets to make 125 new flowers for the tablecloth. This has been my sanity saving time.
