Check challenge

I decided to have a go at M5466.






Here is how I layed out and cut the fabric this morning.





The check is large and navy blue, so I’ve used a dark blue bias on the sleeve hem. 
The sleeve doubles on itself so I’ve used the bias tape for a smoother hem.





This shows how I lowered the neckline by using the facing, a blue pen and a french curve, to help line up the neckline better.


It’s now 7.30pm and I’m giving up for tonight – I think.
