In any case, undertunic neck hole is done and 1 1/2 of the side gores are sewn together. Once that is done, will work out sleeve taipering and start attaching those. Progress may be slowed by lack of fine needle finger callous more than anything - the bone needle wasn't quite as specific pressure wise. The white linen isn't bad but is still stiffer than the blue linen last used. May try a thimble.
Amazing the things you will watch when sewing on a late Mon night - I wouldn't touch Outragous Fortune in NZ, but it is good for a giggle over here.
Need to watch the sleeping in - got trapped by the New World Symphony this morning.
