I consider sewing to be a problem-solving enterprise and I consider a project finished when I've managed to fix all of the problems!<BR/><BR/>Trust me, I have wayyyyyyy less trouble since I started making clothes with draping techniques & no pattern. That way, the finished product looks EXACTLY as it's meant to - no pattern envelope to compare it to!<BR/><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30174578.post-25550161935542126482008-01-12T12:37:00.000-05:002008-01-12T12:37:00.000-05:00Hmmmm, having something not turn out even though y...Hmmmm, having something not turn out even though you followed directions sounds like every single time I've sewn anything :) I understand your frustration but I also know you are excellent at sewing, the shirt will work out for you :)<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>RobinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30174578.post-52822497812559214862008-01-12T03:13:00.000-05:002008-01-12T03:13:00.000-05:00Ah, that makes sense.

I wonder if cutting so that the grain is parallel to the collar edge might work better, too. Thanks :)<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>ChantelleChantellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360587653917161334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30174578.post-14282749295647704792008-01-12T01:23:00.000-05:002008-01-12T01:23:00.000-05:00That kind of collar is usually cut on the bias.
