I have a number of thin fabrics that were originally bought to make into circle scarves and shirts. I seem to have so many scarves at the moment that that is no longer necessary. However, there is no such thing as too many shirts. I finally grabbed one of my numerous ‘white print on dark blue background’ fabrics and cut into it. This one was the origami cats print. (I also have birds, more birds, triangles, cyclists and possibly more – too much stash)
The original dress for the wedding had a waterfall neckline based on the Eva dress pattern from Your Style Rocks (I made the dress before for a graduation). Since I evil-cornered the original dress, but I liked the neckline, I decided to re-make the pattern into a shirt. I cut it out from the origami cats print, it’s only two pieces so that was pretty quick. I had some order of construction issues, but figured it out in the end. I finished it in an evening. I still need to wear it, but I wanted to wash it first as I spray-starched it quite excessively during construction to limit the shiftiness. I think it will work out well.
And here is the finished shirt. I like the cats and I hope the shirt will behave as well as the cyclist shirt.
