Wow @needlewoman you will be busy.
I finished my shirt but I am unhappy with the collar, completely my fault, I should have muslined just the collar.
In a nutshell, I swopped the collar and made it too long and the collar stand ate it! I have not tried it on yet… too nervous. I hope it looks okay, I really want to wear it to my son’s party.

I made my daughter some yoga pants with a ribbing waist and I did have to go back and add elastic
I unpicked a wee bit of the seam, threaded it through and then hand sewed it up again. -

Nicole replied to the topic pretreating wool for coat – help! in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago
I would pre-wash in the machine, with a approved wool wash. I use Softly in AUS.
I would treat both fabrics the same as they will be laundered together once it is made.I would never ever tumble dry wool, some girls do though, Do you have a trampoline? They are awesome to dry wool on.
If you are super nervous, wash a swatch first. Wool is…[Read more]

I have made several and the lining doesn’t show.
Perhaps roll your seam slightly inwards when pressing to be on the safe side. -

Susan, I have some piccies of the yoke here as well as a nifty treatment for the collar to get it to sit like a two piece.

There are some good seams to take it in by @vothgirl. A little from each would give you the best result.
