As always, CKC delivers an easy to understand and simple pattern. I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that the collar gave me FITS. Fits I tell you!! But through no error of the pattern. I actually have made 4 shirts but about 10 collars. LOL! I am so used to matching everything up perfectly that I didn't know how to "ease" the collar on. But I have got it on now.
What is ease you ask? It is the art of carefully and gently shifting the fabrics back and forth until you get the perfect fit. I found that with just a little bit of pushing and pulling, the collar would go right on!
Overall, I love this pattern. I seriously have a love affair with CKC, I mean they did reinspire my love of sewing. I would give it a high beginner to intermediate rating because of the button holes and collar but even as a beginner, beginner, someone could master it, thanks to the amazing writers at CKC. (Can you believe they don't pay me to write reviews like this?!)
As always, if you like what you see and cannot or do not want to make it yourself...I would LOVE to make one for you! Just let me know!
