I loved my first Myosotis so much I pretty much started cutting out a second one after the first day of wearing my first version.
I was using this lush Liberty Tana Lawn which was another one I picked up when I was in the UK at some point.
Everything was exactly the same as the first time I made it except for the collar. In my first one I get these weird drag lines. It gets so bad while wearing that it actually looks like the garment has tucks in it.
This time I tried it on before I added the collar and discovered the bodice comes up into the column of my neck. To fix the problem I shaved over a centimetre off from the neckline. I think I would actually take more if I’m going to make it again as it has still a slight drag line to it.
Apart from that it was as straight forward sew. I skipped making buttonholes as I discovered that I can just pull it on over my head. It needs a good press but when I took these photos I hadn’t bought my lovely new iron yet.
It’s lovely and floaty and goes well with tights and boots for winter and am sure it will ease me right into the warm weather too. Snapped these photos on a sunny day after teaching at Bobbin and Ink.
