Cybele, do you have one side of the placket folded under? This was my mistake. I had both sides flipped out. If you can’t work it out this time then make the stretch of the fabric work for you and stretch the neckline slightly.

I was making a 6. I checked to make sure that I cut a 6 collar and 6 parts. It is super weird. One thing I figured out is that I needed to reverse which side was folded back and which side was open. That at least made the seam to front necklines equal at 3.5 inches give or take some “ease.”

I cut a 12 muslin and that will fit for this one.…[Read more]

I commented on flickr too, but what size are you making? I made the 12, 18 and 4 (have a 7 cut) and depending on the stretch of my knit I had to ease the collar. On a few of them I clipped just a tiny bit (like 2-3 notches) of the collar on the front sides, the back was fine on all of them. The notches are especially helpful on this one.

Congrats Heidi!!

Ok. I am going to beg for more help here. I tried the wash and dry thing. No help. The collar is too short by approximately the extra added on by the placket. I checked and I cut the same size pattern pieces. (Lol).

If you go to Flickr I posted a picture of a drawing.

Any advice is welcome. I am likely going to cut a…[Read more]

Oh wow, so exciting!
Yes, I have now replied to you. I had to go and find the private messages. Looking forward to sewing up my new patterns 🙂
Thank you, Rachel, Liesl And Todd for running the competition and having great patterns.

Random.org gave #2, so congratulations to @with-love-heidi ! I hope you got my private message. Thanks to everyone who participated!

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.
