When I get home tonight, I'll attach the outer collar (which is machine stitched) and then stitch the inner collar to it along the top and fronts, so it's ready for hand work. I've also got the sleeve caps to ease in place (annoying and fiddly; steam will help but I'll probably do pretty short basting stitches). And I have to decide if I'm adding the pockets. On the one hand, time is short. On the other hand... Pockets.
