Baby Girl needed some new clothes, so we headed to the fabric store and spent $40 on fabric to buy 5 new shirts. Here's the first one:
I used Simplicity 1915 for the basic shape. I split it down the front a few inches and attached a bow. I also added elastic on the sleeves.
Chiffon may be my least favorite fabric to work with, but I love how the shirt turned out. More importantly, she loves it too-she's already worn it twice.
You are an all star mom. My mom HATED sewing on chiffon, but she too was a trooper and made me a ton of ballet skirts through my middle and high school years. Major mom points for sewing clothes, bonus mom points for doing it with chiffon!
ReplyDeleteThanks-I can also use some Mom points:)
DeleteIt looks great! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteIt did turn out great! I can see why she loves it!

I love the fabric but I am not good at sewing clothes. You did a great job though.
ReplyDeleteThis blouse is just beautiful! Great job on the sewing...I really don't even think I could sew chiffon!
ReplyDeleteI found you through the Skip to my Lou, "Made By You Monday" link party.
Happy to be a follower!

Cute shirt! I don't have any luck with chiffon, but I bet I could make it with a different fabric. Great Job!
