mmcp said... Stupid question (and proof that no instructions are idiot proof, despite Selfish's claim!): her instructions say to sew the collar "wrong side on right side." Is it the right side of the collar to the wrong side of the top--then it flips out to make the cowl? 3/11/12 6:41 PM
LoriLaroo said... mmcp: This confused me at first too. You sew the cowl wrong side onto the right side of shirt, the way it will look when finished. Then lift the cowl out of the way and sew the seam allowance down to the shirt. I hope that makes sense. 3/12/12 9:32 AM
