First tip from me, when I sew a muslin, I put my seams on the out side, easier to alter.

#1 It appears you need to take fabric from the back piece, not the front. Unpick and move the back until you get the right fit, then pin and re-mark and trim to your new seams.

The fifth and final day of the sew-along has been added. Don’t forget to share a link to your completed polo here in the comments section (by June 12th, 9AM ET) to be entered in the contest!

Day four of the sew-along has now been added.

Day three of the sew-along is now up 🙂

If you’re sewing along with us this week, day two is now up!

I’m going to have a go at this and i’m looking to use fabric from my stash but i’m not sure whether it will be ok as I don’t really ‘understand’ Jersey fabric.
