Less sleevil
Busy and productive day today. I made lasagna for dinner and am looking forward to eating it. :) I took the dog out for a short walk. I got some homework done. And I finished some edits for my funding application proposal because we are having a workshop on them tomorrow. Still to do: machine sew the skirt of my 1867 print dress together, probably after dinner.
Speaking of my 1867 dress, here's what it looks like right now. I think the sleeves are better than they were before. Thanks for all the advice! I ended up reshaping the curve of the elbow so that it was less curved, thus less fabric in the elbow. I also took in the sleevehead a bit. And I rotated the sleeve forward. So now the sleeves are have an acceptable level of wrinkle.
You can also (sort of) see the antique china buttons I got for this dress from Treadle Yard Goods in St. Paul, MN. I think they were a good choice.
