Wearable toile, testing out a new (to me) pattern.
This fabric is old. A friend was cleaning out her mother’s fabric stash and offered it to me. Possibly VIP from Cranston Print Works.
There were some faded spots I had to work around. The design is printed a bit off grain, so (HORRORS!) not all of the longitude and latitude lines match at the seams. It pains me. Also, that diagonal wrinkle on my right shoulder. What’s that doing there?
Success at not getting something awkward on the boob!
Pattern: New Look S0803/6374 with re-drafted collar band (because I altered the neckline) and sleeve finishing from…I dunno, some other pattern I have with cuffs. I shortened the front placket, and the length of the shirt does not match any of the hem choices offered by the pattern. (I used my favorite length.)
YEY for a wearable muslin! This print seems great for wearing in a school library, too.
It sounds like you’re happy with your modifications; I’m looking forward to seeing the “real” shirt(s) that follow!
You’re almost like a real life Ms. Frizzle! I love all of these cool themes you wear for school. And this fabric is definitely awesome in spite of its flaws!
