Hello Sewing Friends!

The colorful shirt I am wearing is the Cottage Shirt from The Sewing Workshop. The pattern is available in printed format, or in digital format.

Back in early June, Sewing expert Linda Lee made a video detailing this pattern and fabric. The Sewing Workshop was offering the fabric, buttons, and thread as a kit, so I thought I would give it a try. It reminds me of a camp shirt and I used to wear a lot of camp shirts in the late 1980’s. 😉

It sews up into a very full, boxy shirt. That is how the pattern is intended to finish. So don’t expect a fitted, body con button up.

The shirt features a six-button closure, collar with a stand, arm bands, a yoke and an extra deep bottom hem with side vents..

For a video review, lots of chatter about color analysis, and more views of the shirt, head to my You Tube channel:
