@elfkin@woof.groupMy relationship to finishing the shoulder seams on yoked shirts with camp collars is similar to the one I have with spelling “occasionally.” No matter how many times I’ve done it, I invariably get it wrong on the first try. But the pleated front shirt is coming along nicely otherwise! #sewing
@elfkin The photo suggests you're making a short-sleeved shirt for a slim person.
@elfkin there is a reason the technical name for sleeve assembly is "sl-evils." 
@sewblue The sleeves themselves were a breeze except for the extra 30 minutes of pressing and topstitching the pleats. It’s the counterintuitive, to me anyhow, way that the outer yoke is attached to the shoulder *after* attaching the collar and *after* attaching the inner yoke to the front facings that gets me. It feels like everything is backwards and upside down.
@elfkin those pleats in that fabric is SCRUMPTIOUS
@artcollisions They are super satisfying, aren’t they? I was so worried about the pleats working on the cotton double gauze that I didn’t send this piece to the seamstress for fear that she’d come to hate me, but it turns out that they worked beautifully!
@elfkin Oooh, yeah, I'd have been afraid of that too. It's lovely when things work out like that.
