Sewing, I does it!

And I take wonderfully awful pictures of that sewing to prove it! (I always seem to remember that I want pictures about half an hour after it's gotten too dark outside to bother lugging Mabel out to photograph things.)

( more under the cut... )

I still need to decide exactly how I want to polonaise the skirt and add ties...and oh, yes, sleeves. I haaaaaaaaate sleeves. Which is why I've left futzing with them as late as I can. I just keep putting it off...but I can't really put it off any longer, can I? Eww...well, be prepared to see (well, hopefully see) sleeve progress in the next few days.
