This is my first time sewing this shirt, and I’m struggling a little with the instructions for attaching the collar.

It is about an inch too short for the armhole after cutting the 1/2″ off the bodice piece.

snap a picture at this step. (Sew to the dot or beyond to the notch?)

Edit: oops, my phone pic file is too big!

I’m guessing that the directions are little bit sparse in the pattern because it is one of the older ones! At least it is working right now!

I just don’t know how far to sew. Just to the dot, or all the way to the edge? I finished the top, and am starting a second so I’ll fiddle with it again!

I have seen a few solid quilting weight cottons that fit the bill, but not much else other than knits! I know a lot of the Girl Charlee knits are made in the US (LA I think), and I know most of the Birch fabrics are organic and made in India. I wish there were more options! Thanks for sharing the NPR…[Read more]

It was so helpful for the placket bit. Thank you for putting that together!! I’m still not clear on how far to sew the seam that attaches the ruffle portion at the ends. I tried sewing all the way to the end on one side, and tried stopping at the dot on the other. Neither way seems exactly wrong, so I’m…[Read more]

Am I supposed to sew this seam all the way over to the edge or just to the dot that is just past the gathering star? Thanks!!
