While making the jacket the first time around, Kevin showed me how to manipulate the pattern so that the collar sat nicely. By cutting into the collar of the toile and then adding the slash to the pattern it enabled the jacket to sit better around the neckline, an made it much easier to sew. However while sewing the jacket the second time around I have realised I hadn't changed the markings on the original pattern. Therefore I have made the jacket up without this edit. It means that the jacket doesn't;t white sit how I had hoped. This has taught me the importance of changing everything on the pattern as well as on the garment itself, no matter how small the change may be.
