Finished Sleeves
I decided not to redo the left shoulder. It's not really all that bad. I attached the right sleeve and that shoulder wing doesn't stick up as much. As soon as I find the other set of batteries for the camera I'll put up some new pictures. Now that both sleeves are attached it looks like I still can't put my arms up over my head. I'm thinking that I'm not really supposed to be able to. At least I can reach back and forth without binding. After I finish putting buttons on the sleeves I may start working on the lacing strip. I was planning to save it for Monday when I'm going to be teaching my eyelet class, but I reckon I'll still have a few left to do by then. I'll probably burn out halfway through. Next I think I'll start on the foundation of the trunk hose. A bonus of the curved sleeve pattern is that the lower part of the sleeve ends up on the bias, which makes it easy to fit. The sleeves ride up a little bit when I straighten my arms, but I think the ruffs will keep my wrists from looking naked.
