More sewing! Made some massive strides. Sewed and felled the side seams and the sleeve seams, did the sleeve plackets (a real undertaking!), and made the cuffs. I've ended up doing the short sleeves because I was getting so much done that it does seem possible I'll finish sometime soon - and anyway, I live indoors, I can wear elbow-length sleeves in cold weather. I should get started on the gathering stitches around the bottom of the sleeves this evening but ughhhhh so boring. I have to gather by hand because the tension doesn't change enough on my antique sewing machine.

But you know what I do have? A fairly new iron for the first time in years, and it's soooo nice! I had one with starch residue on it for ages that gradually scorched the fabric more and more, and then I inherited my grandmother's which was heavier but spat brown water everywhere.

I don't know if anyone is still watching Outlander now that the costumes have become very boring, but GOD Brianna's '80s bangs look so good. I know very well that our hair textures are completely different and I lack the patience to spend the time it would take to get lovely soft smooth puffy bangs like that, but there's a little part me that's like, you should do that.

I am still watching Outlander! I'm quite enjoying the entire thing this season, last season was so dull at times. The costumes are pretty boring, though.
