But.... there was still a bit of gaping so I did end up adding a magic one after its first wear! I think the shirt actually needs a couple of extra buttons than the number stated in the pattern, so that's what I'll do next time. xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618367450900385828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-51395210844835972282015-07-18T17:56:40.141+01:002015-07-18T17:56:40.141+01:00Thanks lovely!

I'd definitely recommend reading through the collar tutorial I referenced though and compare it to the instructions - depends how your brain works but I found Andrea's method made much more sense! xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618367450900385828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-41335026519557028132015-07-16T10:06:07.519+01:002015-07-16T10:06:07.519+01:00Thanks Claire! xThanks Claire! xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618367450900385828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-77680802773745144862015-07-16T08:10:40.475+01:002015-07-16T08:10:40.475+01:00I do love the dotty fabric - I have a a Laura Ashl...I do love the dotty fabric - I have a a Laura Ashley blouse from about twenty years ago in virtually the same.
