Yes I made it and it worked fine. I ended up using silk dupioni for the yoke. https://www.flickr.com/photos/23557464@N03/8260534376/in/dateposted-public/

Good on you Heidi. I donated a tub of cut out WIP’s last year. Very cathartic. I am like an ex-smoker now. I cut-I sew. I am terrified of going back to that!
Tonight I finished Zara’s Lisette Moto jacket (B6169). We went with the size 6 with an inch off the waist. Zara chose the leftovers from Hugo’s jacket, charcoal wool and we splurged on some…[Read more]

Sew Alongs 10 years ago@cybele727 I washed/steamed before re-attaching the collar.

Sew Alongs 10 years agoHeidi, I feel better knowing I am not alone in the fold/unfold the placket issue!
Brittney, did you wash and steam the neck before adding the collar back on to see if it would rebound/fit? Or was this after?
I think I am going to cut a a larger sized collar in muslin and see if it fits. I just can’t figure out what I did wrong. But as I will…[Read more]

I’m with @Inder–use it or trim and yokes and details and you’ll get lots of mileage out of it! But I love @with-love-heidi‘s list! Can’t wait to see it.

I think it’s a matter of personal preference, yes. I used this method for the instructions because it’s less fiddly. But if you prefer the single fold bias method that’s an easy change to make.

Sew Alongs 10 years agoI messed up on my first one too and had to unpick:) I threw mine through the wash and steamed the neck with an iron. It seemed to help. On both sizes I made, I clipped the collar just a bit in the front to help ease it in.

Sew Alongs 10 years agoSo I am hoping for some help here.
When I was attaching the collar, I sewed both the front (button hole) placket and the back (button) placket folded back. That worked for the front, but obviously not the button one which needs to be NOT folded back behind the main fabric.
As I was pinning, I remembered thinking wow, the neckline is much…[Read more]

@kookiblah a Lazy Days skirt, a 2T or 3T Popover Sundress (at least the main part of the dress), I’m wondering about the Seashore Bloomers, all of the O+S doll clothes, hair accessories.
