Whew, that was harder than I thought it would be! But then if I waited to start a project until I had everything worked out I wouldn't have anything to wear. I referred to the previous PR reviews extensively, and it worked out pretty well.
Of course I still need to sew the inside down but I think that I will do that by hand.
In picture to the right, the facing on the right side of the picture has been sewn down. The collar is actually one piece folded in half with both sides gathered seperately as pictured below. I stitched the outside down all the way across, and the upper collar is sewn into the facing seam and will be stitched down (with the seam allowance turned to the inside) by hand.
I will post a picture of the inside when I am done, for now I am going to go mix a drink!
I still have to decide what kind of sleeves I want.
Wow, that looks difficult, but a great finished product! That shirt will be a real showpiece when it is finished.
