When I first started, my husband asked me to make him a collar shirt, and the five I've made since the first, have all turned out to be disasters. Hopefully, your new technique will help me master collared shirts. It would be a great victory for me, if I were finally able to make a collared shirt!<br /><br />Sara Welsh | <a href="http://moresewforyou.com" rel="nofollow">http://moresewforyou.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364426823518122840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-59739371634859646842012-09-30T16:09:24.571-05:002012-09-30T16:09:24.571-05:00Thanks so much for posting this tutorial!

Many people mentioned struggling with the collar and I was trying to find a review where someone had figured it out.

It sounds like you have a very special family - I can feel the love when you talk about your children, your family and life. I love when I come across something that really makes me step back and re-evaluate my own thoughts and actions. Thank you for that! I look forward to reading more. <br />*I have always wanted to live in an old schoolhouse.<br />SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
