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.
