My latest project came about because the seasons are changing and it is time to pull out those in between clothing items. We have cool mornings and warmer afternoons. It makes it hard to judge what to wear. If you are like me, you probably have those few items in your closet that you will automatically go to because they either fit you well and they are most comfortable.
The gray shirt above is one of those for me and since I can't find it in the store, I figured I might be able to duplicate it. The floral shirt is just one of several I have been able to sew after drafting a pattern from the original shirt.
I used folding techniques, a couple of rulers and some brown paper to trace off the pattern.
I had fun shopping for several pretty fabrics and I didn't spend a lot of money either.
Here are a couple of pictures of me wearing my shirt.

I think it turned out really nice and it is so very comfortable!
Here is a picture of part of my drafted pattern. I think the secret to this one was I chose a very easy shirt to copy. If you are interested in the process, I have two you tube videos below you can watch. The first one goes over how I did the pattern and the second one shows me sewing the shirt with my serger and sewing machine. I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you have learned and are generous with what you make. Someone will appreciate your hard work!
