The Latest Two

I wanted another shirt with shirring down the sides, since I love the first one I made like that so much (see last post). So I made another one.

But this one didn't turn out nearly as well as the first one. The fabric I used was really sheer and hard to work with. It had little recovery, so it stretched out a lot when I was making it. I think once it's washed it will do better. We will see.

I really struggled with the collar since the fabric kept rolling and slipping. One day I want to have a huge ribbing collection so I'll have the right color of ribbing for any shirt. But until then, I often have to use the same fabric that the shirt is made out of for the collar since I don't have the right color of ribbing.

 But I will wear the shirt anyway, because things don't have to be perfect. I wore it when we went to Mesa Falls yesterday.

Sewing is a really good way to learn that things don't have to be perfect. There is usually a way to fix any mistake.

I also made another pair of shorts for Seth. I'm trying to build up his wardrobe before school starts.

He was really excited to get his picture taken, as usual.
