Well, the second iteration of this blouse is underway after a couple of pattern adjustments.
But, all is not going well this afternoon. It was OK, until I began to install the collar and stand, and then disaster.
Could I fit this? No chance. I've removed it at least six times, and I have no idea where I'm going wrong. The first one went on no trouble, this one is awful, and I'm seriously considering cutting a new stand, although I can't see it making much difference.
It's done for now, but the topstitching is all over the place because of the varying finished widths of the stand. I don't know whether it's stretched out, pulled out, or just not sewed very well.
I've started a sleeve for now, but that isn't going well either...
I think I may finish the blouse of and then see how bad the collar and stand looks. Definitely losing the will to live today.
