A Shirt for Me


This is my first attempt at making a shirt for myself. It was too tight at the hips and the material didn't gather the way I wanted, but overall, I consider the first attempt a success in that:

a) I did learn how to gather the material, even though I wasn't very successful with the first try.
b) I learned that when the pattern says "use a stretchy fabric" it means it.

So, for my next attempt, I will use a stretchy fabric and see if that doesn't work better, as advertised.

For a first shirt it is amazing! The fact that both arm holes are evenly spaced is a feet in itself. I see this shirt, and I think brown and paisleys, what genious!!!

Way to go!
