Yesterday I talked about making my first real pattern from scratch. Today, here is the final result! I made a shirt! And it fits! And I did it all by myself (with the help of Cal Patch!)!
I had really been itching for a chambray button-up shirt. I just love the way they look so casual but put together. Also, I've apparently just been nuts for chambray for the last 6 months or so (evidenced here, here, and here).
I added a pocket on the left and some tabs to the sleeves so I could roll 'em on up.

I've never been a huge fan of the button-up shirt, but now that I have a pattern that fits me just right...that opinion might be changing.

Oh yeah, I also blatantly copied this outfit from J. Crew when getting dressed today. Except I want her shoes.
I love it! You should do a regular feature on making clothes that look like J-crew or other stores like that for less!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so awesome, you're an amazing seamstress and the shirt turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great, Val! I love it. I also love your poses and the fact that Scott was behind the camera.
