Status update on the 1880 gentleman's shirt.
After discovering that I had cut the sleeves wrong and keeping the project on hold for a while, I've resumed working on it, re-cutting and re-sewing the sleeves.
I've finished one of the sleeves and it's ready to be attached to the body.
The other sleeve is almost completely done, except for the fact that I maaaay have lost one of the cuffs. Tomorrow I'll try to look for it again, or I'll surrender and cut another one :(
At least one sleeve is enough to take the remaining pictures , so that when I'm not sewing I can keep working on the pattern and hopefully publish it in the near future.
Work in progress picture from an hour or so ago:

I'm getting ready to sew in the sleeves.
The cuff is still misplaced.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •While looking for the missing cuff (still missing) I've found a bag of vintage buttons I had also misplaced, and which would have been harder to replace.
And also my other thimble.
I guess tomorrow I'll just cut another cuff.

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • •I had a scrap of fabric just wide enough for a cuff, one has been cut and machine sewn. Later today it will be handsewn to the shirt.
ETA to finding the original one? :D
