Last week I wrote that I was about to sewing a summer shirt from my favorite summer dress. I liked the dress and wore a lot. Unfortunately the fabric under one arm has become thinner. The fabric of the skirt part is still fine. So I decided to sew a shirt with the fabric.
As my family is traveling to my partner's parents' place and I'm now alone at home, my Sunday turned to be a sewing boot camp 😁 I was sewing sewing sewing the shirt while I listened to Bitcoin related podcasts such as Bitcoin Standard Podcast.
I thought about sewing the upper part of the dress in the photo below.
........................ but after I made the pattern, I found that I didn't have enough fabric. I under estimated how much the front fly design need fabric 😱 That's sewing!
I improvised a design. Although I had to give up the front fly, I'm glad that I can keep a button on the neck line. The button is one of the buttons I got from my partner's aunt few years ago. It's a bit purple shiny shell button.
After I finished sewing and tried it on, I found it was too wide. It was probably because I just made a dress pattern short for shirt. So I tightened the shirt and done!
Don't see the photos in detail ... I wore it already and there are some winkles 😅
I'm quite satisfied with the result. It's a good fit, neither too loose nor too tight. And linen is always good for summer.
That's my Needlework Monday. Happy Needlework Monday to all!
気に入っていたワンピースの生地が一部薄くなってしまっていたので、シャツに作り替えました。もともと作りたかったデザインでは生地が足りず急遽デザインを変えたり、作り終わったらなんだかぶわっとしていて幅を直したりでしたが、無事出来上がりました。相方と子どもは旅行中なので机を片付けるのもサボって1日ほど洋裁に没頭していました・・・Bitcoin Standard ポッドキャストなどを聴きながら。
ゆるすぎず、ピッタリしすぎず、麻で夏に気持ちよく着られそうです。
そんなこんなの針仕事の月曜日です。編み物や洋裁、刺繍など針を使った手仕事をされたら Needlework Monday コミュニティに投稿してみてはいかがでしょうか 😊
