All finished and steamed, in plenty of time for GBSB. Thanks @Sandra for your advice, it gave me the confidence to go in through the seam. It would have been good if I'd got the correct seam first time, & not got confused with the lining being the same as the outer shell. GS is collecting it tomorrow so o hope she'll be happy with it.
