shirts

finally got around to posting some pics of the shirts i sewed recently

all made using my currently favorite pattern

burda 02/2015/114(113)

navy-white one, that my friend sandra is modeling

is my latest version

it's made in rayon challis

so it's super comfy, and great for hot summer weather

(that kind of makes it up for misprint

and the fact that i turned the fabric upside down when i cut front pieces)

pink lipstick printed one is in some sort of poly crepe fabric

that i lined with white rayon challis

(to make it opaque, and also more comfy against the skin)

last one, that is also my favorite

is made in crazy printed silk

(dunno what kind of silk

as i got it from remnant bin labeled only as 'silk'

but it's lightweight, slightly transparent

and sews beautifully)

and, even though i wear this one the most

i failed to take a decent pics to prove it

so, this blurry instagram shot is all i have for you

it's a shapeless, rectangular design

so it's not a pattern for everyone

i realize that most people do not like this type of

'shapeless sack' dresses..

but i love them

..

shirt is really oversized.. like really really oversized

so, even though i wear size 38, i sewed it up in size 34/36

and skipped adding an extra piece of pleated fabric

at the center back 

that would make it even more oversized

and it's still a big shirt..

but it's big in a cool way :) to my eye, at least..

so i might just sew few more

and live in them until fall
