There's always a first time

Well this is the first time I have ever done this. My Alexa blouse was, I thought, coming along nicely. My nemesis, collars, went in first time. I top stitched the yokes and did a type of flat felled seam on the sides.

I thought I would just try it on before I attach the sleeves. Only to find that I had twisted one front! I had even ironed the seams as I went and still not noticed.

Sadly I have to work this evening, so that is how it will stay for a while. I am laughing not crying.

Oh no Karen!! How much will you have to unpick? I hope the collar and yoke at least are safe?

Oh no! I hope you manage to fix it without too much unpicking!

Hi thanks. Luckily it was just one seam. No idea how I managed it as I had laid it out to pin the yokes. It's finished except for buttons now
