Hope I make the HSF deadline

I'm slowly progressing on my shift. I managed to eventually figure out the fiddly bit of felling where the point of the gusset meets the two straight sides of the sleeve. It involved picking out some handsewing which was highly irritating, but now I understand how it works. This made it much easier to sew the sleeves to the body and the sides of the body all in one loopy line. I tried on the shift and my in-progress stays. I wanted to make sure the sleeves weren't too tight (something I was worried about) and to do a rough marking out of the neckline. So you get a picture!

Now I just need to do a bunch of hand work: felling and hemming, and get it done by Friday!

I ALWAYS get stuck on that fiddly bit of the felling you're talking about, no matter how many shifts I make! I always end up sort of fudging it and hoping it's right. ;) Your shift is looking great, and I LOVE your stays!

It's really weird. I definitely had to actually do it and see it before I could figure it out at all. And thanks, Jenni!

Thanks Lauren! I just need to get the shift done. The stays are going to be my UFO project. :)
