One of my most annoying and tiring traits is my difficulty in letting things go if I think there is anything else I can do. In fact there have been moments when I have distinguished myself by an inability to recognize when a particular investment is no longer giving returns and that it would be best to give up.
What that looks like when I sew (apart from getting up in the middle of the night to take out a sleeve that is bugging me and put it in again) is that when I make something I like and I wish I had done one little thing differently is that I have to make another one right away and but this time make it right.
That's why I had another go at Jalie 2921 and this time stretched the collar between the shoulder seam so it would cup my neck but keeping the sides of the V neckline 1 to 1. This actually meant shortening the collar pinned between the two shoulder seams by a full 3" but I am so happy with the result.
Much more scarf like and a nicer fill-in of the neckline IMO.
I can tell already that this is going to be a favourite shirt.
