Good luck on the new muslin!Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263087349746122997.post-34722461136455630162011-02-18T07:22:22.954+10:302011-02-18T07:22:22.954+10:30Hi P, I haven't tried the fix yet, but here...Hi P, I haven't tried the fix yet, but here's a link to the pic that was posted for me<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/54851527@N04/5440996383/in/pool-1608093@N23/<br />it involves, I think, making the shoulder-to-neck line slope up more towards the neck, thereby adding a bit more fabric there, then re-drawing the neckline from that point. I'm assuming the shoulder line of the yoke can stay the same since the extra fabric is only needed at the front. I think I will have to make another muslin! But I will try to make it another wearable one.<br />I also think part of the problem on this shirt is that my neckline adjustments somehow made the neck hole ever so slightly too big for the collar so I did a little bit of 'easing in', which is contributing to the pulling. I want to do the collar with stand next time which will involve making a new collar specifically to fit the neckline I have so that should help.<br />It sounds like your adjustment would kind of loosen the whole shirt front up just a little and achieve much the same effect. I want a proper fitting book now!<br />Whew, sorry for the long answer... it's a complex business isn't it!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255370960186659884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263087349746122997.post-87641388252159457102011-02-18T05:23:31.949+10:302011-02-18T05:23:31.949+10:30I think your muslin looks pretty good, overall! I...I think your muslin looks pretty good, overall! I'm curious about the suggested fix for the shoulder creases. I had that problem on mine and fixed it by dropping the shirt front slightly from the inner shoulder seam at the neck to the shirt center front. It worked for me, but maybe there was a better way? I kind of winged it.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263087349746122997.post-44879855479305696692011-02-15T07:14:12.888+10:302011-02-15T07:14:12.888+10:30Aw, thanks Carolyn.

I am learning so much, and one of the other group members has already suggested a fix for the shoulder creases. I love the online sewing community :-)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255370960186659884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263087349746122997.post-85118543659158100722011-02-15T05:46:37.289+10:302011-02-15T05:46:37.289+10:30You are amazing!
