Just a quick update

If you read SG, you'll know I'm (a) not fluent in French (b) not the sharpest needle in the pack (yeah, I've been waiting to use that one for a while). I'm working on the PJ top, which is BWOF 113 from Dec 08. It's the issue Zoubida sent me from Canada and it's in French. Because it's in French (ignore the pictures on sheet on page 14, please. They're just for show, not for real usage by stoopid Americans) I missed that the sleeve is in 2 pieces (yeah I KNOW there's a picture, I get that now!) , so I have to go back and trace out piece 4 (I think or 3, I should check that) and then cut the rest of the sleeve. And I was really cooking along, too. And I'm a little stumped on the order of the sleeve construction: sleeve pieces to shirt and then sew together? Or put the sleeve together and then put it on the shirt? I THINK (I'll check SG tomorrow for the real answer), bottom of sleeves, sleeves to shirt, top of sleeves. What do you think?
And I'm not sure what they recommend for the neck finish. I'd like to do a binding out of my green polk-dot, but not sure the fabric will handle it.

Speaking of fabric, I am truly digging this nice knit from (probably ) G Street. It's a beefy, really stretchy navy that's just going together great. No curling - I thought it would based on my washing of it, it might after it's washed again. But then it's sewn together, who cares? And I can stretch it to sew without it loosing width. I need more of this stuff (yes, see the stash topic below. whatever.)

Well, I'm off to the shower. Enough sewing for one night. I got all the neck pleats done and the side seams finished. What more do you want for a week night? And besides, I have to get up and be the only person at work in the DC area tomorrow.

    Well, don't feel bad. I have to do double work to make up for what I didn't get done today. And, I think I'd put the entire sleeve together and then set it into the top. How do you put in a part of a sleeve? Honestly. K
