Neckline Done

And the keyhole/slit neck worked!

This was my first time trying slip stitch hemming; I think I'm in love. So infinitely much easier than trying to make tiny even stitches all the way around, and more forgiving for hemming a curve without clipping the seam allowance (since the whole point of hemming linen is to hide and protect all the raw edges).

Next cuffs, which will probably take me an hour to pin and even out and stitch, and then the dreaded hem, to which I am looking forward not at all. Maybe a little more than I had been now that I have a much better technique for it than my original plan.
