So, so clear. Thankyou. Some of us in the church choir like to make our own blouses being more economical. To achieve the same results as the professional dressmaker on a V neck has always been our problem until now.

You rock! Making myself crazy trying to get scrub top to look professional. Thanks so much for the excellent pics and easy instructions. These things just don’t come naturally to some of us….

Thanks. My sailor/vintage dress was looking terrible and I didn’t know how to remedy it.

Perfect explanation. *two thumbs*

Kathleen,
Thank you so much for responding to my email. The pattern has a pattern piece called neckband, and has you fold the two strips in half lengthwise WRONG sides together then placing one on top of the other to form a V and sew to neck edge and pivoting around the V. So hard to do. Any suggestions? Did I make sense? Anyway, thank you again.

Charlene, I have no idea how they're telling you to perform this operation and I don't know what the pattern looks like. The way I've done it is using the same concept as a shirt sleeve placket. See this entry, there's a lot to wade through (fore and aft) but I hope you'll understand what I mean. Cut a sample neckline and straight strip to try it out. Hth.

I am making scrubs using a home pattern that has a double faced v neck and I have never been able to get this v neck right. Was wondering if I could get some help somehow with this. I have made my daughter about 15 of these scrubs and each neck has a few puckers.
Thank you so much.

Wow- thanks for the great tutorial. I have never made an acceptable v-neck garment, but look forward to trying a new one with this method. Yippee!
