Vintage Pattern Lending Library's 1912 project

I didn't quite miss the boat for joining the 1912 project (considering that this project is in commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, that phrase seems slightly ominous)! The project itself is attempting to revive a year's worth of patterns from the French fashion/pattern newspaper, La Mode Illustree, with the help of over 400 sewists of all skill levels and of many nationalities. More information is found here, although the project is now closed to new members:

The first pattern that I've requested is this one:
#0291 Ladies' Wrap
Hopefully, I will actually follow through on it! Provided motivation doesn't fail me on this, will be posting my progress as it is made.
