My Newest Project and Happy Holidays!

You need to look closely to see the brown panel but it is there.  I couldn't get the lighting right!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

     I hope this long awaited blog post finds everyone happy, healthy, and enjoying family and friends. 

I’ve been working on a project but it has been a while in coming to you.  Now that Christmas vacation is here I have a little time to sew.   I’ll get right to it.  Here was the inspiration.  I just loved the look of this.

 I decided to start with a cream colored t-shirt that I already owned.

I just cut it off under the arms and reshaped the neckline.  Then,  I had to reset the sleeves to adjust the fit. Because the original shirt was a v-neck, the neckline had to be a little deeper than the picture.

Here it is before I added the brown panel.  It still is not totally fit or pressed here.  Because I dropped the neckline, the panels will not be the exact same proportion as the picture, but it will give me the same feeling.

I will accessorize and model it in a future post! Later :) Mary
