Taylor Made: I Made a Shirt

I Made a Shirt

Now you might be thinking, you have never made a shirt? I have made stuff for my kids, I have made whole costumes in college (my degree is in costume design) and I have refashioned enough for a lifetime. But I have never made a shirt for myself. I feel pretty accomplished now.

Don't get too excited, I did use a pattern... I wasn't going to navigate a shirt by myself for the first time. So, I used Simplicity #2254. I really liked it, it was easy to follow and I picked "Option A" which just so happened to have the least amount of steps, yay.

I love the collar but my favorite thing is that the buttons don't match.

Have you made any clothes for yourself lately? I think I might start doing it more often.

Looks so cute on you! I didn't know you majored in costume design! Man, I could pay you some big bucks sometime to help design a show (if that's something you would do)

Wow, how lovely! I just got my sewing machine out of storage and can't wait to sew up stuff for me & the kiddies. :)

Nice job! That top is really cute and looks fabulous on you! I wish I could sew clothes. I do ok with purses, and home decor items, but every time I've tried apparel for myself it turns out to be a disaster! Keep it up!
