Oh, thank you Todd!! Well, last night, I took matters into my own hands, and using the Sketchbook pocket and facing pieces, I added pockets to the Butterfly Skirt.

Sew Alongs 9 years agoI messed up on my first one too and had to unpick:) I threw mine through the wash and steamed the neck with an iron. It seemed to help. On both sizes I made, I clipped the collar just a bit in the front to help ease it in.

Inder replied to the topic Neck facing puckering in the forum oliver + s: butterfly blouse + skirt 9 years ago
