More small updates

Got up before half 6 today; J had to go to London, so I stayed home on post-watch (linen due, I hope!) and got nearly 3 hours sewing in. All panels except the triangular one and the lacing pair are done now; I can start handsewing them together! Predictably, the linen didn't arrive, but a sample of the fabric I won at the weekend did. Hmmm. Think it's probably too orange. Not sure about that. Shame I've bought 15m, really... I've bid on yet more lace that I think will work for the cuffs (engageantes) of the shift; it's very white, probably synthetic, but a pleasant design and, importantly, wide enough! So that's good. So, handsewing it is, then!
