Well, that took a while. Buttonholes and buttons on. There were multiple of both! 😂 Linen thread is so nice to sew with, especially on linen.

A photo of two sleeves with their cuffs laid out on a table with pale wood grain. The sleeves have been neatly gathered to the cuffs, which are very tall and narrow, and will envelop most of the forearm when worn. They have twelve buttonholes and buttons between them. The rows of them look nice and neat. The buttonholes look pretty uniform but not perfectly, indicating more organic hand sewing. The buttons are a plain black with a wide rim. There is pink basting thread along the top and wrist edge of the cuffs.

God bless your dedication! I've a pair of tweed trousers sitting there waiting to be hemmed for a month, after I unwisely pulled at a trailing filament thread…

@sinabhfuil 😄 Bet it would take less than a month to hem them! Meanwhile, I myself am procrastinating on doing a bunch of ironing...

@colorblindcowboy Thank you! Bonus surprise extra thing: a very tall cuffed sleeve is a lot easier to iron than a normal sleeve, so much of it just opens flat

@Silversong On coats, jackets and such with materials that would stretch I do the slightly more complicated tailor's buttonhole stitch, the one with the extra knot in it. Here I used and for cotton shirts I usually only use a blanket or "normal" buttonhole stitch. 😄 It's faster!

@valhalla They're not interfaced with any stiffener, but because they're double layer linen, they're wonderfully soft but structured at the same time! I hope they sit nice when attached to the bodice, but at least the sleeves are lovely on their own 😄
