Saturday I realized that although the play had been published in 1949, Agatha Cristie wrote the play in 1938. So I did an hour of extra research on the 1930s for the show. Apparently the director has not yet decided when to set the show so I spent 2 hours today finishing research on the 1930s and 1940s. Finding research on Canon clothes has been the hardest part. But I did find out that clerical outfits are interesting and enormously varied. Canon can also mean 2 different things:
Briefly about Cannons:
All
canons of the Church
of England have
been secular since the Reformation,
although an individual canon may himself also be a member of a
religious order. Mostly, however, they are ordained, that is, priests
or members of the clergy. Today, the system of canons is retained
almost exclusively in connection with cathedral churches.

Today I made the pattern, cut, and sewed the three capes in one go. It took me 4 hours. The surger broke part of the way through and it took Ellie 15 minutes to fix it. I made one cape without surging, which Ellie took to a fitting today. She also took the belt, which unfortunately I had not started, but she is painting it tomorrow in Pewakee. So I will have the day tomorrow to work on my own stuff and will spend the day with her on Thursday.
Here is the first cape:
