I am interestd in doing some more wearable sewing this year, and so played around one day this month with some bits in my stash to make a shirt. It is pretty baggy/ not well fitted, but it is wearable, and I enjoy the color scheme. The solid blue is an upcycled cotton curtain, and the colorful poly is a remenant from the Hintonburg fabric swap that I got for 2$--- what a steal! I self-drafted the pattern using a shirt I already own--- it also isn't super well-fitting/ is boxy, so I guess I should have guessed this would be the same. But I still like it, and did my best to take it in here and there to give it a bit of shape. While it is not the most fashionable, I do love the sleeve fabric (which I also used to bind the neck), and I enjoy the extra-long sleeve cuffs. Toyed with adding some pockets with the sleeve fabric but I think will leave it as is for now. I have already been wearing this, and look forward to more experiments as the year unfolds!
