No Sleevil?

theladyrebeccaToday I experience something very strange - I managed to do two-piece 3/4 length sleeves with no pattern, one mockup, and no sleevil!! I have to admit - it feels too easy. So anyway, my sleeves are in. I also bound the armseyes on the overbodice. And I tried everything on. You know, it's really pretty difficult to walk around an apartment in an early bustle gown. And I had to use the timer on my camera for pictures, since my mirror is about 1/3 the width of my dress. :)
At this point, I still need to tack down the trim around the curves of the overbodice neckline, sew the trim on around the arms of the overbodice, put on/redo the bars on all the waistbands (apparently I shrunk 1" or so since I finished the skirt and petticoat), and do all the finishing on the sleeve cuffs. And add hooks/bars to hold the skirts in place to the bodices. But not too much overall! And then we'll see how many other projects I can cram into the next month.
The underbodice. I'm quite happy with the fit!:
In other news, I "repaired" my computer for the first time ever (without my dad, that is). Or at least, after restarting it a bazillion times with no avail other than to make a backup, I managed to figure out how to restore my computer to its factory settings... But so far, it seems to be working *knock on wood.* It was out of commission from the morning of the 26th until about 30 mins ago. Thank goodness I just got a smartphone!
