NOW it's time to panic

It’s coming down to the wire. I’m taking this afternoon off to finish some stuff up. I haven’t even had a chance to put together any of my own accessories, iron veils, make sure what I’m wearing fits, etc.
I’m really glad that I put together several layers of tunics/gowns of various weights for the boys. They’re calling for a high of 76 and SUNNY at Jamestown. At Mud Through the Ages! Unheard of!
Note to self. Pack sunblock.
Left to do on the doublet:
-Finish making the points. They’re pretty ugly, but the method is nifty and I like it. I got it out of
tashadandelion’s doublet pattern, and she says that it’s the historical method. At this point, I’m taking her word on it, though I want to go find the reference later… because it’s nifty.
Half done-Sew in the points
Mostly done-Overstitch the machined eyelets on Jeff’s hose
-Two more eyelets at the neck
-A couple more eyelets at the bottom (lower priority)
-Eyelets at the wrists
-Aglets on the points (just the ones for the wrist and front of the hose, not the ones sewn in the doublet.
-Finish one more point (half started) for holding the front of the hosen together.
-Quilting in the blank spaces, especially the line that I missed at the elbow. - Good enough for now
-Padding the chest (we got it fit last night, now Jeff is going to just sew the layers together and maybe make a casing for them.
CRAP! I have to make points and sew them into the civilian CdB doublet, if he wants to wear that at all. Maybe if I can find a brass needle, I can take that along and have that be my in-camp sewing project. Daughter-in-law Margery needs to have something to do with her hands. They could be for her father-in-law, not the gonner, of course.
Did this list get longer, or is it just my imagination?
