Besides the quilt, I got 2 shirts finished up. This butterfly one-

Quilt-weight cotton fabric, designed by Lizzie House. I don’t think she is designing fabric these days, but I have loved her prints and this is at least the third shirt I’ve made using them.

And this dark blue linen shirt which feels so nice to wear but I made kind of a big mistake.

You know how buttons are on one side on a woman’s shirt, and on the other for a man’s? Yep, I got it wrong. After I had it all finished and buttoned up, trying it on for the first time, I looked down and thought to myself, Something doesn’t look right here! Oh well, it is absolutely not fixable so I will enjoy it as it is. And yes, pockets. All my clothes have pockets.

Other than sewing, I’ve spent time in the garden. The flowers are beautiful this year with all the rain. This hydrangea is looking especially gorgeous right now.

I am back to work, putting together some new mermen. Nothing will get finished until late next week at the earliest as I am off for more road tripping this next week. Busy summer!

  1. I love these shirts! I’m on the search for a pattern I can modify to a perfect fit and this looks like it might be a candidate! These look great on you, and the fabrics are gorgeous!

  2. Lovely shirt! I had a store-bought shirt in a similar style years ago that I actually wore to pieces. Can you share the name of the pattern?
