Whilst getting in some leather sewing practice I decided to make a safety cover for the hand turned awl that James gave me for a gift. It was only after I finished making the cover that I realised James had actually given me the awl to use making the doe skin doublet! More experiments needed.
We had gone ahead with constructing the leather outer of the doublet 'right sides together' as I was unhappy with the neatness of an over lapping seam. So now I will see if I can get the overlapped seam to look neater by punching holes along the seams and then sewing.
