I have posted a picture in the Flickr group. This was a fun little top to sew. I had matching knit and voile fabrics in the stash as well as matching thread and snaps so I was able to sew this up tonight (New Zealand time).
I haven’t had a chance to wash the top yet as I wanted to post this before the deadline.

I plan to make a few more of these.

You guys should all be sewing this pattern. I am obsessed. I think my other boy needs one now too.

Heidi, I feel better knowing I am not alone in the fold/unfold the placket issue!

I 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.

My collar was a bit funny, I had to remove it because I had both packets folded out. I seem to remember fudging it slightly and relying on the stretch of the knit to make it work. Sorry I can’t be more specific 🙁

So I am hoping for some help here.

When I was attaching the collar, I sewed both the front (button hole) placket and the back (button) placket folded back. That worked for the front, but obviously not the button one which needs to be NOT folded back behind the main fabric.

As I was pinning, I remembered thinking wow, the neckline is much…[Read more]

I made a dress, well, two but I need to add buttons to twin #2’s so no pics yet.

If I made the Polo before the sew along is it still eligible?
