easy peasy.

Hurray for easy shirts! Remember I discovered an easy pattern, but it definitely was a tad drab? Well, I like this simple shape for a shirt and had fun making it to suit my taste. It really takes about an hour to sew- the longest part is just ironing the hems so they are more finished.

I don’t always like wearing t-shirts and tank tops are not my thing either- so I liked piecing fabric together I like. So much so that I have to stop making these shirts or else my kids will think my upper part of my body is this permanent shape.

I did make another shirt that I will share after I alter it a bit. I had sewn two perfectly centered pockets, to give it a more smock effect. Umm, I looked like a kangaroo with two pouches…not good. So I have to make smaller pockets.

I love this print. It looks like dandelions…

Happy Weekend!

i love your new easy peasy shirt. and I love that ‘dandelion’ fabric. I have the same in my stash. I bought just a small quarter of it, then loved it so much I went back for two yards before it all sold….but I still haven’t put mine to a good use yet!
