I made a shirt!!!
Jun. 26th, 2013 08:27 pmHere, as promised, are the photos of My Very First Shirt (tm)! What I learned about how things fit me and sewing in general will come in another post a little later.
Front view. I has a shirt!
Back view, mostly for my records.
Side view. Yeah, it could fit better.
The waistline turned out to be way too small when I first put it together. So I put in these side panels - what a kludge - but they do solve the problem. Also note the seam on the left was trimmed before I had pinking shears (or a clue that seams need to be finished if you're going to actually wear a garment!)
Flat felled seams are a little messy on the inside. But it's not like anyone's going to see them, right? ;)
