I am enlisting my friend Dacia to help mentor me in a sewing boot camp (thanks friend). Camp will take place on Wednesdays throughout the summer so I can learn to sew some fabulous clothes for Mikayla and myself. My first project is going to be this shirt.
I might be a little ambitious, but Dacia says we can do it! I am going to attempt to finish it in June for the Make it, Wear it Challenge. We will see how things go. You should join the challenge to, and maybe win some fabulous prices in the process!! Stay tuned to see if I survive the Boot Camp!
Hey Beth! This was the first shirt I sewed all by myself. I would recommend omitting the back pleats. The top was verrrrrry balloony with them. This was an easy project – can’t wait to see what you come up with! I’m very excited about the make it wear it challenge. I probably won’t enter anything but I love seeing everyone elses creations.
Thanks Amanda. I am excited to be able to sew fun stuff I am seeing all over the place. I took a sewing class in high school, but didn’t pay a bit of attention and now can’t remember much. Thanks for the heads up on the back pleats.
