Worked a little more on the current dress project on the weekend, but I was VERY slow. C took a while to decide if she wanted proper long sleeves or just long short sleeves, as the pattern has different shapes. We went with the long sleeves, but because I was worried about not having enough fabric I hadn't cut out pockets, plackets and belt until the Sleeve Decision was made. So instead of sewing it was mostly catch-up with the cutting out and interfacing.
I did do the placket, and wish I had gone with my gut about construction rather than followed the pattern instruction, as their version was messy and I'll have to do bit of handwork to get it tidy on the inside. I don't mind, I'm not in a rush, but I do like to be efficient. I could unpick, but it's lightweight viscose, and too much handling won't be good.
