My knitting is still pretty boring. I'm about to start the sleeve cap on my first sleeve of Betty, and it seemed forever to get to that point! So in the meantime, let me catch up on some sewing.
Pattern: Simplicity 4122, View C
Fabric: Spoonflower's fabric of the week from a while back. I love the pears!
Modifcations: I added a pleat to the bottom of the sleeves to keep them from being so flyaway.
I love, love, love this fabric, and therefore I love the shirt. I do think the design is a little boxy, but I forgive it because the shirt has pears on it!
And here's a second shirt.
Pattern: Simplicity 2927
I feel pretty good in this shirt, but both time I've taken pictures of it it seems to not be fitting me correctly. Perhaps I'll have to take a look at it again. In the meantime, I think it's a cute shirt and I love the color combination.
I just want to say....I always love to see a new blog from you! You are so creative and inspirational! :)
Thank you!!!

Okay, that pear fabric is incredible. Very cute shirts. I will eventually work up the nerve to sew a shirt.

Sweet pear fabric and really fun green buttons on the first shirt. I have S2922 and have not sewn it up yet. I really like your contrast pockets. If you modify based on any fit issues and feel like blogging about it, I'd love to hear more about your troubleshooting.

I agree - its hard to wrong with pears!
