    Loving the blog updates!! :-) So...A Question for you from a fellow Moneta addict...I cut out a collar (using the download pattern) in medium (same size as my dress), followed seam allowances carefully, pressed carefully...and my damn collar ended up about 10cm short. No amount of gentle stretching was going to get it to meet in the middle. Did you have any issues?? I'm assuming I did something weird/stupid, but can't imagine what it would have been (half hoping the pattern is at fault, but yours looks great!) xx

      10cms! definitely something odd going on there.... Did you double check the sizing box when you printed? Funny enough I forgot to 100% scale first time. Otherwise all I can think of it the neckline stretched out before the collar was added? Stupid collar!!! xx

      Weird, huh?! Actually though, I think it might have been the neckline - you're right. It is pretty stretchy fabric so that's probably the culprit. So annoying though! Your collar looks great! ;-) xx

      If it was the neckline, do you have any one sided fusible tape? i use it on my necklines and shoulders to help it stop stretching out. Of course it's totally fabric dependant. Thank you for the collar love. I took a gamble using two different materials but luckily they played nice. xxx hope to see you soon. There is a few midland evening meet ups over march and april xx
