I still haven't perfected it, and there's a part of the collar that looks pretty ugly, but I'm the only one who sees it as it's not visible to the world. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-14764900005686780792010-08-06T14:13:35.182-05:002010-08-06T14:13:35.182-05:00Yay, I got it! http://leavingthecocoon.blogspot.co...Yay, I got it! http://leavingthecocoon.blogspot.com/2010/08/things-i-learned-today.htmlMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06723403407561641772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-51499052724950330272010-08-06T10:19:48.988-05:002010-08-06T10:19:48.988-05:00OMG, I'm having SUCH a hard time with this col...OMG, I'm having SUCH a hard time with this collar!

You really start to appreciate the work that goes into them when you have to do it yourself!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-82935403577546721442010-07-19T14:52:26.043-05:002010-07-19T14:52:26.043-05:00I absolutely love how that looks on you Heather!

Isn't it funny how one wee detail, that we really take for granted in RTW is what makes our favourite part in something we make. <br /><br />Looks fab!snuzalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609816817247282567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-1259070914984852952010-07-19T13:15:59.039-05:002010-07-19T13:15:59.039-05:00Thanks guys!

It took me 2 days to figure out the collar itself, and I didn't understand how others had found it easy.<br /><br />I wish I'd taken more pictures while making the collar, just so that other people (and me too!) could see what I did. But I was concentrating so hard on figuring it out, I didn't think to take some until after it was done. Maybe I will when I make the second blouse. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-84797644198439193602010-07-18T11:23:00.505-05:002010-07-18T11:23:00.505-05:00Great job Heather, love your top!

I love the curved hemline :) And such a pretty sheet (and you have given me an idea of what to do with the couple of sheets I have hanging around lol)<br />Maybe try hand tacking the collar before sewing next time - much easier than un-picking :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240058096616561830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554234021420229727.post-90639037152849599352010-07-17T21:14:26.526-05:002010-07-17T21:14:26.526-05:00I have to tell ya, I made this twice and even afte...I have to tell ya, I made this twice and even after scouring ALL the many reviews of it on PR, I felt like the only one who had nightmares with the collar, (and I'm not a beginner!), so I feel your pain. I ripped and ripped and ripped some more! Yours is quite cute, and after squelching the temptation many times to try it again, I'm wondering if I'll finally actually succumb to trying it again with just the simple band like yours.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402114438409895409noreply@blogger.com
