I have been thoroughly enjoying all of our free time so far this summer! We’ve caught up on sleep, practicing cooking familiar meals with available ingredients, built lots of LEGOs, read books, explored our city, walked to parks, and of course, made time for lots of sewing.
This skirt is something I started during my sewing day with Mom. We found the embroidered chambray at Joann and I got it all finished except the buttons and buttonholes. I love this pattern, but of course had to add pockets. Sometimes I wonder why skirt, pants, and dress patterns don’t all automatically include pockets, but at least it’s very easy for me to add them.
This shirt pattern is wonderful. It can be used for both wovens and knits, is very easy to sew, and is actually reversible! The only change I made was to self-line the two tie pieces, so that the wrong side of the fabric wouldn’t show. I will also lower the neckline just a bit the next time I use it because, when worn with the tie in the back, it’s just a bit high on my neck. Here’s proof it can be worn both ways:
