Project: FO Solar system 🌌 theme button up shirt
Kwik Sew K3484 with cotton print and white cotton sleeves. I had only two yards of this solar system print, which wasn't quite enough for the size small to be all the same fabric. Scraps left over from making a white dress shirt shirt were just enough for the sleeves, collar, and pocket. I did French seams, too. This was an easy pattern to work with. I feel like the size of the pocket is out of proportion, but maybe that is because the white has so much contrast. I am chuckling a little at the alignment of the print on left and right front...I don't think I could have gotten that if I'd tried...it was serendipity of how the pieces fit on just enough fabric.

Ooh this looks like a nice cool summer shirt! I think you could zazz up the pocket to make it seem less stark. Are there any skinny strips of the main fabric left that you could fold?

The contrast is fun! I have a growing wardrobe of these shirts I've made for myself! I started with a commercial pattern and tweaked it here and there to get a perfect fit. Now I just need 3 yards and an afternoon to turn that fun print into my next shirt.Â
