Mary De, the final chapter

OK, it's time to finish Mary De. In my last post we finished by drawing in the armhole curve and pulling the gathering thread to the inside of this drawn in line. Now stitch right over the drawn line, trying not to stretch or distort the smocking. For safety, stitch it twice. Be very careful NOT to stitch over your gathering thread as you will need it for final adjustment. Next cut out the armhole close to the stitching.
