The blue and red shirts were made using a free pattern from Tessuti Fabrics and frankly isn't super well sized--- the body is pretty big and the arm holes are small even at the largest size. But I like the neck line, and it is super simple to sew together, so I will keep playing with it. The blue shirt is made with some very quirky velvet embossed with quotes and pictures from the little miss muffet children's rhyme. And for the sleeves I used some wonderful tablecloth remnants with scalloped edges--- not conventional and they don't really go together (and who needs a velvet shirt?!) but I love it! The red shirt I used the same pattern, but will take it apart to widen the arms so it is more wearable.
The green and multi-colored shirts were patterns I just made up myself using existing shirts as a quasi-template. For the multicolored one I played around with adding a peplum which was something different to try. And for the green I had fun experimenting with collars and cuffs. Anyway, none are perfect and it is all a big experiment for fun, but I love having these random me-made pops of color in my wardrobe, and look forward to being able to go back to Value Village to trawl the fabric section for treasures again soon!
