day seventy-six: i said this would be quick

I was super-productive tonight. I got the neckline cut and bound…

…trimmed down the gussets…

… and assembled a sleeve, to include finishing the seam allowances and tapering from elbow to wrist.

I'll take more pictures tomorrow to show how I assemble a sleeve -- I learned things about installing a sleeve while making my Viborg Shirt that I used here.

Barring disaster I will absolutely have this tunic done by next week, though I anticipate some swearing when I go to insert the center front and back gores. Then I can cut the wool & silk for my coat and start to plan my final non-woven accessory. The coat is getting flat-lined using the English stitch (you saw it when I closed the sides of my shirt), so that should go together fairly quickly as well.

I need to get up in the morning and go to the grocery store before work, though, so I'm for bed. Night, y'all.
