After Christmas I bought two yards of fabric in different colors so I could make some cute shirts for myself. It’s now the beginning of May and I’ve finally got them both finished. That’s what student teaching will do to you. Trust me.
I finished the gray one in March sometime, and absolutely love it! I patterned the shirt after one of my favorites, whose company went of out business and then was re-bought by another company, but their clothes just aren’t the same. Thankfully, I could recreate the pattern using my shirt, and added some ruffle detail. I’m entering this shirt in the Spring Top Sewalong held by Made By Rae. You should check it out, it’s a lot of fun!

The shirt is modeled by my cute sister. (After reading the contest rules, I snapped a quick picture of myself wearing the shirt –it fits me a bit better anyways! It will be below this paragraph!) The sleeves are half sleeve/three fourths length, for some extra coverage and warmth when I need it. The neckline is finished by folding a strip of fabric over the ruffles and sewing them so the edges of the strip will be exposed. The shirt reminds me of wisps of cloud in the spring skies, so that’s it’s name!
Thanks for visiting!

That turned out great! I love the ruffle and neckline
