After making the green tunic-dress in march I looked for another pattern for longs-leeved-tops, that I can maybe vary when I want to do the next time a project like that. I found and bought one nearly immediately (this one) and also I bought jersey and cut out the pieces who then had some month of waiting in my sewing room under lots of other things. In two weeks we are having guests and I need to tidy up the sewing room who then becomes again guests-room. So this weekend I sat down and finished some projects like hemming a shorts of my son, repairing the hook of a towel, putting a new elastic in the pyjama of other son and finally sewing the shirt.
As always I made the sleeves longer than in the pattern, because I hate sleeves that are too short. With store bought tops they usually are! That's why I started to sew shirts myself.
I am not jet sure if I really like the loose fit of the body. Not so visible on the photos but it's opening up from the waist on. Anyway this could be adjusted easily in the pattern when I do it the next time.
Look at the neck line. I think it's nearly perfect. I feared a bit the V-neck, but patterns of that lady are always working and there are free video-tutorials, so really everybody could do this.
The next shirt will follow after the summer! Good excuse to go Jersey shopping in vacation ;-)
A bientôt,
Jane
