andverygingerWell, around midnight last night, I finished off the hard stuff. I screwed up when adding the cuffs and ended up having to add them by hand. Not a major deal, but it would have been a lot easier if I had a sewing machine with a sleeve arm. I'll need to tack down the top of the cuff, that that's an easy handstitch job. You can see the results here.
I'm pretty happy with the overall. Now I just have to see if I can either get my MIL to do the buttonholes or learn how to do them myself. My machine will do them with the appropriate presser foot, so I may give it a shot...on some test fabric first, of course.
Took the evening off tonight. Got a much-needed nap, and managed to make the gym. I spent about half an hour working kata and kihon, and working with the heavy bag. I'd forgotten how much of a workout karate could be! Definitely looking into finding a dojo once we get back from the con.
Back to the sewing room tomorrow. There's an end in sight! And I might even be done before the 27th this time.
