Tag blue gingham
This week’s shirt is made from a ¼-inch blue gingham from Banasch’s fabrics. I originally thought the larger-size gingham would be more difficult to work with, but in the end I think I prefer it to the smaller stuff.
I don’t have much to say about this project, except that’s it’s as close to an ideal shirt as I’ve ever got. I cut down my pattern substantially (removing about 1” total from the armscye, and ½” from each side), but all changes were well-planned and thus work well. The fit of this slightly slimmer pattern is surprisingly good: I think I’ve really got something great here!
Construction of this shirt went off very smoothly, and I had a great time working with the fabric. Feeling very good. Next week: more gingham. Stay tuned, friends.
