Emerald Shirt- Check!
Feb. 24th, 2012 05:19 pmAnother one to be checked off the list is the emerald shirt. After spending too much time trying to turn something inside out that couldn't be turned inside out, cutting off seam allowances because the darn seams were to difficult to seam rip, snagging it on the needle in the machine, doing a sub-par job of binding the neckline, and repairing a tiny hole I cut in the top when cutting off the binding end, the emerald shirt was completed! It was a bit of a struggle at times, obviously, but it turned out fairly well. It looks a lot like my shirt that I copied it from. (I should take pics of both to compare.) There are some definite flaws, but it was also my first time sewing a knit and trying to copy a pattern from an already put together garment. It was kind of tough because the shirt has a fitted lining and the a very loose outer layer. But now I know the adjustments I'll have to make to my pattern and I will easily be able to make a bunch in different colours. I'm so glad I got it finished because that means I can wear it out tonight with my friends! We're going out for karaoke for a friend's birthday. Good times! :) Pictures in the near future.
