making progress

Well I'm up to That Part...that evil evil part where I have to take this pair of sleeves and set them in in a way that doesn't look horrific and doesn't cut up my armpits all day and doesn't have giant puckers..I HATE SLEEVES. This is all premptive hate as I haven't tried to set them..but I know that while setting the sleeves and hemming is all that's left on this jacket I shall STILL probably be finishing it tomorrow as sleeves hate me. 

Also I put this on my dress dummy and it looks absurd. because of the boobs it won't hang flat enough in the front so the waist gores actually hit right below the bust it's the most ridiculous looking thing ever so no pictures yet.

oh dear

I hate it. I look like a bit blob. What a waste of beautiful fabric :-(

I used the RH sleeve pattern and holy cow they're huge. But I really don't want to try and take them in right now. Perhaps fixing the length will make them less wrinkly. On the plus side I used the shallow curve on the undersleeve from PoF and I can actually easily life my arms over my head in this. So that's good. But blech I don't like how I look at all.
