I picked out this cute Vogue pattern and cute fabric(see fig.1).
Fig.1 After cutting the fabric out then letting it sit for a week(the fabric looks better after sitting around), I finally began sewing. I tried to do it by myself only asking for my mother's help when I couldn't understand. Those instructions are not easy to understand so I was running up the stairs about every 2 minutes.
I finally got the front and back sewed together(see fig.2- try to ignore my face).

After much work I finished the collar(fig.3). I always liked my neck- I think it is one of my best features.
Fig. 3Stay tuned for more updates- pictures, crazy stories. Hopefully the pictures will be of me smiling and not of me looking like I am on drugs. Until tomorrow!

So far I am impressed...can't wait to see how it turns out!
It is coming along nicely. I haven't done any sewing on it, just consultation and instruction. I think she will be very pleased with how it turns out.
It's sure to turn out wonderful with your mom there as a coach. She's an excellent seamstress.
I concur, you do have a lovely neck.
This is why I have stopped sewing patterns.
Good Luck!
