so the story of this shirt is that it is my first Burda World of Fashion (BWOF) pattern. it was simple, although a beginner would be stymied by the brief instructions, and has a great line for a tunic. so after i sewed the hem of the sleeve inside out yesterday, i decided to finish it today. not an hour after i had finished it, a bird pooped on my shoulder while i was triumphantly wearing it. awwww. thank goodness it is cheap poly-rayon-super-washable fabric. with a little soap and a toothbrush and a run through the wash, it’s as good as new. the photos below are after the poop, and you can’t even tell it was ever sullied in such a way.
blurry shot of tunic on:
neck detail. i used the interfacing that i had in my stash, but it was a little stiff for this fabric. the next time i make this i will buy lightweight interfacing.
i hate zippers so i made a keyhole back.
i found pretty glass buttons for the back.
i am planning to make this again, but with pretty emerald green silk charmeuse. i also have a plan for embellishment around the neck line which would be pretty plain with a solid color. just have to wait for my favorite online fabric store to have a sale.
