I hate sleeves.
It's official..I. Hate. Sleeves. Why the heck couldn't those crazy Victorian's have liked things sleeveless, or why couldn't I have picked a style that involves gathered sleeves, then I wouldn't be sitting here at 9pm after having started the sleeves at 3 unable to get rid of that one stinkin' tuck on the left sleeve!
I eventually gave up for now, we'll see if I'm ever motivated to take the damn things off AGAIN and fuss with them more. Perhaps tomorrow when i don't feel so much like stabbing a seam ripper in my eyeball.
I also got the bias tape machine sewn to the outside edges, now I need to whip that down. I'm very close to having it essentially wearable. I need to make the overskirt and put all the trim on, hem the sleeves and hem the whole thing...not a horrible list really.
Anyway here it is so far. A lot of work for not alot to show really.
My bust point is a lot higher than Polly's so the whole bodice fits me differently. I swear it's a better fit on me.

How are you doing on fabric? Do you have enough? I'll be free on Friday after 12pm (noon) if you need an extra hand or more fabric.
