That co...Jane, I love your version of the Renfrow! That color is just gorgeous. I can't wait to see what you have in line next. Black and white stripes will be perfect for this shirt. I had a bit of trouble lining up the stripes, and my advice to you would be to try lining up the side seams from the bottom. In my version, I lined everything up from the top, which makes for nice lines at the shoulders, but everything gets wonky below the armholes. Good luck and happy sewing!Amyhttp://sewwell.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-51088489823247786522012-01-25T10:25:48.725+00:002012-01-25T10:25:48.725+00:00As always you're an inspiration - just wish I ...As always you're an inspiration - just wish I was as clever as you.
