Anyway, I am working on my first shirtwaist, which is McCalls 6891, and although I like it, the whole collar/lapel/facing thing has made my sewing mojo disappear for a bit. Not happy with the end result, but I know where I went wrong, and hope the next one will come out better!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-61049005214542485752014-08-15T19:46:22.492+01:002014-08-15T19:46:22.492+01:00Oh!

For me, the Deer and Doe Bleuet pattern wins and I agree with you that the the collar on the Hawthorn shirt dress feels a bit mean, I keep looking at it on peoples blogs and wondering what it is I don't quite like and you've put your finger right on it (some lovely versions out there, even with a collar I don't love, I should add). Can't wait to see what you make.

I remember I wore a long shirt dress whit a white flovery pattern, sleeveless. And always whit one of those "choker" necklaces that was SO popular in the earlie 90`s... Well, I grew out of the dress, but not the obsession. So offcourse I made a Hawthorn dress in the sew along! You can se my version here http://trollemors-hverdag.blogspot.no/2013/07/proudly-presenting-my-hawthorn-dress.html<br /><br />But I must say, Sew Serendipitys version is beautyfull!
