I like the Collette patterns that I have used - although the Lady Grey fitting gave me considerable trouble.<br />I have a lot of trouble flat felling the shoulder seam too. The David Page Coffin shirtmaking book has you pin at the shoulder point only, and flat fell in two sections - starting from the shoulder each time. This did not help me much, but it possibly does for a more accomplished seamstress (or a flatter curve). Next time I will overlock and topstitch.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489849460128920756.post-25314523691417095842011-08-07T22:22:13.737+10:002011-08-07T22:22:13.737+10:00Your husband's shirt looks great!

The shirt looks great, but I agree that the sleeves look largish.
