New Shirt

This is a jacket pattern that I made smaller so it could be a shirt. The fabric is a wonderful vintage cotton which has a nice sheen to it and then I added hand dyed sateen cotton to it.

Here you can see the label I included on the yoke of the shirt.

Another Men's Shirt

I like the way this one turned out. The poke a dot silk that I had added to the shirt. You would never know it used to be a man's shirt. Another thrift store one.

A Man's Shirt.....

It was before I started. I got this silk shirt from the thrift store for $3.99. After cutting it apart, it made it easy to reuse the buttonhole and button edge. I used some crepe silk in brick red for the collar and sleeve edges. I used Connie Crawford's Butterick pattern.

I used the extra buttons on the sleeves and the tag on the neck for detail on the sleeves. The silk is so light weight, that it will be nice and cool for this summer.

Another Shirt

I am enjoying making this shirt in several different ways. This one is in a sheer rayon fabric and has covered buttons. I think I have one more version of this pattern in mind I want to make up. Then perhaps I will have this one out of my system.
