Kimono neckband (again). What am I doing wrong?

I'm on my 3rd pair of pj's and not once have I figured out how to attach the neckband to the kimono correctly. This time, I have holes at the shoulders. Aughhhh!

After I sew the shoulder seams, I finish the raw edges by folding 1/4" under and slip-stitch them down. So far, so good. But by the time I get to the step where the kimono is laid flat and then the neckline seam allowance clipped so I can pin the neckband to it, I end up with no fabric to stitch to at the shoulder points.

I hope my question makes sense. I have been reading ALL of the posts and searching Flickr for answers. I stopped for the night and will look at it with fresh eyes in the morning!

Thanks to any and all who can shed some light on my dilemma!
