Surcote Progress: another update

[sister_raphael]

I'm excited to say that I have finished the outer and the lining of the surcote and stitched the neckline and sleeve holes in and I couldn't be happier! It's going to be so, so lovely! 

I pinned the hem last night,which, as always, doesn't quite work once it's on the hanger. Usually a little hanging time lets the fabric settle so it sits better before I sew.

I've hung both up overnight and this morning it's looking wonkier than usual, so I suppose a grand unpinning and re-pinning of the hem will take place. I would have liked to do it today, but have a lot of computer jobs to do- website updates, talks to check and ready and a mountain of books with bookmarked sticky notes to add into the bath page.

So Gorgeous! Good luck with the hemming!

I've been looking at it for a day now, and it just looks like it's going to be a really big job getting it to sit right. I have a public holiday this week but I am already spending the whole day trying to finish something else for someone else.

Let it sit for a while until you have more time. You don't want to rush it and have it go wrong.
