on a roll

Once I got going, I couldn't stop - incredibly, in only a couple of hours, I've got most of the venetians outer and lining made up.

Almost. It's a fairly simple pattern and a loose fitting garment (so I'm not worried about final fit), but the pocket is confusing me (for those following along at home, I'm using the pattern/instructions on page 103-4 of The Tudor Tailor, which references the trunkhose pocket on page 100). The directions are contradictory: the pocket instructions say to put the pocket into the lining but the venetians instructions mention pockets in the context of making up the outer layer. Neither are clear whether the pocket goes in wrong sides or right sides together.

I've asked on H-Costume and not received much of an answer; I'm aware of the Yahoo group but need another list subscription like a fat hole in my head :P If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful.

As it is, I'm going to leave the pocket adventure for tomorrow, as it's late and tragically I left my thermos of coffee at home today so I've been burning low and dim all day :P
