I have been a little quiet on the blogging front lately. I have been busy however and when the weather realises that it is actually spring, I will have quite a few things to reveal.
Remember the op shop fabric the other day? Well I made up a piece of it into a wearable muslin using New Look 6050. The fabric is a brushed cotton and I only just had enough to complete the project. I like the v neck in the design as well as the shaping at the back and the sleeve tabs which are soooo practical. These little details and the colour, I feel, make the shirt look a little less masculine than the usual bog standard checked shirt. I made the shirt slightly longer than shown on the pattern but that is the only alteration I made to the pattern. I thought it would be interesting now to turn this pattern into a shirt dress. I am wearing the shirt today with my Jalie Jeans blogged about here.

A lovely shirt, it looks very cosy and comfortable. The colour alone is so rich and warming; the fabric was a great find!
