Today is the only day this week we can have a tutor at our beck and call, so we made use of it. We have had little demonstrations in: what needs to be done now that we have had a fitting; how to do trouser side-seam pockets; and a crash bang whizz through Everything that can be done now, without the lining.
Apparently, we are not using the lining fabric for pockets (whoop!), so we can get quite a bit more done in the time before it appears.
However, of that 'quite a bit more', we have been warned that there is still a Huge Amount to do, and that we probably don't quite grasp how much Time it will take us to complete it all. We have 20 days until hand-in, including a 4 day weekend, which, tied in with our tutor's timetable, we have 6 days, starting tomorrow in which we are Totally On Our Own. This is not scary so much as the blind leading the blind. We know we are perfectly capable of using tailoring techniques and doing this really well*, it is just that we have never done any of it before, Ever.
Hey ho! Where's the fun in not having a challenge!
Garibaldi, anyone?

*even, maybe, getting all those checks matched up?
