Progress is slow stuff

[mala_14]

I spent all day yesterday sewing. All that I really got done was the sleeves. And it wasn't that they were difficult or anything. Sewing, for me, is just something that is really slow. I had to iron all the seams, overcast several seams (shoulders, sleeves, and armscyes), sew the sleeves together, and set them. By the time I got those things done, it was time for bed. I did try it on and the fit is still looking good. The only concern is that the neck might be a little tight, but I can just cut that down a smidge.

Today, I am hoping to get the collar and cuffs together. I need to draft them and cut them out and edge them with lace. Maybe I'll even get them attached to the polonaise? Not likely. But it's already the middle of May! I need to get this done!
