Status update on the flannel shirt: all of the main pieces have been assembled, two buttonholes out of five have been done. I still have to fell the seams on the sleeves and the sides, and hemstitch the hems. And then I must not forget the reinforcement patches at the sides and sleeves. The one I've almost forgotten about about every time I think on what's still to do on the shirt :D

Being able to wear it this weekend is starting to sound feasible, unless something unexpected happens.

one sleeve seam felled.

And a bit of hem, to do something easier for a change.

Now starting the second sleeve seam.

And note to self: if you're doing a flat felled seam with relatively thick fabric like flannel, use. wider. allowances.

Also, probably yesterday / this week wasn't a great day to make buckram in the coldest room of the house: it's still not completely dry after more than a day.

I'm quite confident that tomorrow it will be dry enough for a second layer. I hope :D

4 buttonholes out of 5 done.

And I've discovered that one of the cuffs wasn't completely sewn, wooops

all 5 buttonholes done, all 6 buttons attached (there is an additional button in the center back of the collar for detached collars).

still missing: hemming and reinforcement patches.

chances of wearing it in the weekend: very high (but I hope I'm not jinxing it)

hem done!

And I've also added a button that was missing to the white linen shirt of the same pattern.

tomorrow I'll cut, press (that's going to be a hassle) and sew the reinforcement patches, and then it will be done!

And then on the pile I have the facing of the bathrobe and — cough — a couple of things that I really would love to have mended :D

the bathrobe facing have also been finished today!

*and* I've finished a pair of socks (that have been *almost finished* for weeks).

progress through the pile of WIPs is being made!

(no, I'm not going to get my card to buy the pattern for a new project for the list, why do you ask?)
