Princess & a Tailor board

I received a Tailor board for Christmas and wasn't sure what I would use it on until today. It was the perfect tool to shape and mold curves. Love it!

Princess seams aren't so bad. M4922


I'm working on view A which has 3/4 sleeves and bias side panels. So far so good. Okay...so good that I changed up the order of construction and made the buttonholes now instead of waiting till then end.

Imagine getting all the way through a great looking shirt and ruining it with wonky buttonholes. What are they thinking by putting buttonholes as the LAST step. wow.

I have both the shirt and coat at the collar attachment stage so this should prove interesting!
