I must finish the hem today, I don't  enjoy hand sewing, my hands are too stiff.

Sleeves are in and hems are pinned up and I made a slip cover for my new tablet.

Haven't done much lately but the sleeves are tacked ready to sew and then the hems so I'll try to finish it today.

It looks lovely with the pale blue polo top, a cosy outfit.

I have pinned the larger collar onto the dress and I quite like it,  getting confused now.
What would be the best way of having detachable collars?

I did a bit more yesterday, I have made a small change to the pattern by doubling the width of the waistband to give a slightly dropped waist effect. I saw that a poster on Pattern Review had done the same. The waistband is not very noticeable on the full skirted floral version but using a plain colour it is. I hope to get the side seams tacked today and ask my friend to check the fit for me. It looks good on Mimi my mannequin.

Yes I like the top one , the one in the centre  would be nice in a V neck dress or top. I am still not sure whether I will put a collar on.
What I didn't realise was that none of the collars go all round the neckline, they are only for the front   :[ Anyway the dress is coming together nicely, the ponte is a good weight and not too clingy to my flabby bits   :|

Got on fairly well this morning, a whole three hours in the sewing room (aka the dining table). All put away now, lunch eaten and after the washing up is done I'll go for my walk.

Haven't done any sewing yet, waiting for thread which came today.
The collars arrived in the post this morning, here they are on the blue ponte.

Thanks everyone, the pics of the collars are not shown on my blue ponte. When the collars come in the post I'll put a pic up of them with my fabric. I like the larger one, the Peter Pan collars remind me of my school summer uniform checked dress with white collar and cuffs  :S
