I have shared my sewing achievements over the last few months. Like this dress: I made a dress for my niece this Christmas and her mom held it up to a shirt with a peter p*n c0llar. I LOVED the way the shirt really dressed it up. So I made a shirt for HC to wear with her dresses. This shirt is quite frustrating to make. It is worth the effort but I put my blood, sweat and tears into this blessed shirt! :) I cut the fabric Saturday night and I sewed it this Sunday. I only have to put the buttons on and I am through! I love it! I will make her other shirts like this - but only after necessary breaks in between. I can become quite angry with the collar on this little thing if I am not careful. Once the collar is finished it is a breeze. That collar kicks my butt though! :) So here it is - the shirt:
I took a shot without using the flash in case it shows the shirt better (I see there are a few threads I need to cut).
The dress with the shirt. Don't you think the shirt dresses it up (more than a turtle neck does)????
Here it is on my model: I think when the buttons are on the shirt, the collar will lay better. It will not stick out as it appears to in the photo. Plus it needs to be ironed since it is complete.
