Oh, do please click pics for legibility and possible print out.
Well, This is a quick cribbed checklist from The Complete Book Of Sewing by Constance Talbot, Published in 1943. The name says it all... this volume is a great reference resource.
You have to admire her correct, yet stilted, grammar.
I'm cutting out a casual fall jacket from a light weight woolen myself. And a cape from a coat weight boucle, a gypsy skirt from a striped rayon and a huge hole in my housekeeping standards.
( Oh, Balanced Life where are you?)

Balanced, schmalanced! The older I get, the less I think balance is important :) Enjoy your current passion!
I love this book! I have my mom's and one I picked up in a thrift store. It's a classic of the era and worth a look through.
"Has the pattern straight lines?" I love it!!!
