Well supper and an eveving out intervened.
So, not finished. But, wasitband attached, bottom edge finished, hem ironed up ready to hand stitch. Belt pieces machined, need finishing. Front needs top-stitching and the pleat sewing down.
I'll be up bright and early.
Done before lunch. Sans pockets, but I'm not sure how functional they are.
Now, once I've done the henz, and catz, and chicken stock, I could see about the neckline of the nearly-finished sweater.
