Notes	My first shawl collar sweater. The collar was a challenge to sew. The flexibility of the fabric made it easier for the neck. It would be nice to know how this should be aligned and sewn with non-stretch fabric. Any tips? I wanted a little more fabric in the front area of the stomach, so I widened the middle part and made pleats on it. A big pleat would have looked strange because the fabric is thick, so I made several small ones. The sleeves were short, so I added a few layers. By the way, the sleeves were really easy to sew before the side and sleeve seams.
