I hope it turned out well!
I also had trouble with these necks initially. With my first few, I was convinced the neck bands were too short!
I have also found some knits to be fiddly, so sometimes I use a wide zigzag to connect the two long edges of the neckband together. This way, when I attach the band to the neckline, it works a bit more like…[Read more]

poppy_andrew started the topic french seam for carousel sleeve? in the forum oliver + s: carousel dress 9 years ago
I’m working on the carousel dress, and I’m so pleased with my French seams (which are still new to me). Can I do the same to attach the sleeves? The fabric is lightweight, and I’ve read on the O&S French seam tutorial that gentle curves will work as well, but I’m still nervous about it. Any advice would be welcome! Thanks!
