Progress continues
Got the handsewing done on the front bodice lining. Pictures of the bodice so far:
The back has been all machine sewn. The fronts have the top and bottom hemmed by hand, white the seam joining them to the side fronts was sewn by machine, but whipped by hand to finish the edges. The seam allowances are facing the front so that I can later have the seam allowances of the side front neckline turned inside to finish the neck edges. Next is making a slit in the big front piece and then adding drawstring casings. I suppose next could also be pleating the back skirt and attaching it to the back bodice. For the first time I didn't think through the entire construction process in advance, so it has been a bit free-wheeling.
