Tonight, I was going to post about this week’s CSA share, and how we got a million more pounds of strawberries and rhubarb (and asparagus!), but this is way more important: I finally finished sewing my VERY FIRST SHIRT, and it fits! It’s cut petite, it buttons over my chest-height lady-parts, and is completely passable office attire! Did I mention that it fits? Because it does.
While finishing up my shirt, I also learned that my sewing machine is not only capable of sewing on buttons, but excels at it. It’s so much better at it than I am, that I’ll probably never sew buttons by hand again.
In case you’re wondering, the fabric is orange and blue snails from Purl Soho.
WOW! teach me!
It looks great! What pattern is it?
Lindsay–I can totally teach you the basics.
Thanks, Kimberly! It's the shirt pattern that came with Sew U, the Built by Wendy sewing book.
Very nice! I am curious about the object on the wall behind you. Is it a calendar, and if so, did you make it? If you did, can you tell me how?
It is a calendar, but I didn't make it. It's a Danese Milano perpetual calendar.
