Progress!

It's midnight and I have finished Benjamin's blessing shirt.

I am so excited that I have this much done!

I just have to make the lined knickers and sew about 14 button and buttonholes!!!

I blocked the smocking insert.

I cut the bias strips to sew the piping.

Here is a close up of the shirt.

There is piping around the collar, the top and bottom of the smocked insert, and the sleeve cuffs.

I sewed the buttons under the ducks, aren't they cute?

I really like the knife pleats too, they add a masculine touch.

On Tuesday, I will sew the lined knickers andhopefully sew all the buttonholes.  See you then!
