I was just so involved making this that I didn't photograph it. And cause I didn't think anyone else would ever make it! <br />This particular pattern piece looks as it does it the photo, but without that facing to start. I added the facings on to the two furthest edges and folded and sewed them in such a way that I ended up with a front that looks like it could have been two pieces with a band sewn down the front. So just like a proper shirt placket where it starts out flat and folds in itself. <br /><br />Its hard to explain now because I was so focused on it, that I was just trying to get through each step without crying!

There's no one else who's blog I read that makes as many vintage patterns as you, and I find some of the vintage techniques to be so interesting..... Would you consider occasionally sharing some pics of pattern pieces and techniques that you come across? Thankyou! :)Fabric Tragichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183274071484362265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842143733350522715.post-1644882715900870872014-10-20T04:44:32.213-07:002014-10-20T04:44:32.213-07:00Thank you so much lovely!Thank you so much lovely!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10255354405253714311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842143733350522715.post-71727918925853204922014-10-20T04:44:18.572-07:002014-10-20T04:44:18.572-07:00thank you!!
