The Great White Shirt Sew-Along making a good fitting shirt
Nancywin   CA USA Member since 7/25/06 Posts: 922	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/17/09 10:20 AM I have been on a quest for a great white shirt! Having narrow (forward) shoulders and a full bust (not to mention small waist and big hips) has made this somewhat of a challenge! I have found one great pattern from BWOF see review. Next I would like to try the Palmer Pletsch pattern 5433 and compare the two. Right now I am just finishing up another version of the BWOF pattern, this time sleeveless. thought it would be fun to have a sew along to discuss patterns, design changes, fit issues, fabric, etc. Want to play? -- Edited on 6/17/09 10:20 AM -- ------ blog: encue.blogspot.com Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Not sure quite what to do with it because it will need a cami underneath. But I really need a white shirt or shirts. ------ Marilyn January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in.

I am in great need of some sleeveless and short sleeve (camp style) shirts for summer! ------ blog: encue.blogspot.com Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Maybe this is the push I need to get back to my fitting-woven-blouses ordeal. I stalled, yet again, out of frustration. I got the bust to fit, but the sleeves/armholes are a mess! After I finish my dress, I'll jump in.

I also just completed a princess-seamed white shirt, also a McCall pattern I've made a few times. I love the pattern and that particular pattern needs almost no adjustment--immediate fit.

I have several patterns traced but need to put them to fabric. I always lose my nerve after tracing and altering the pattern... then I go trace another. This will be my goal: break that cycle, make that shirt. ------ Leah My blog: http://www.journeytocouture.com My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

Nancywin   CA USA Member since 7/25/06 Posts: 922	Login to reply to this post In reply to Em's Summer Like this post Date: 6/17/09 4:39 PM Cute pattern. I'm hoping that design changes will be one of the things we can explore in more detail in this sew along. 2 years ago (I think) I used the blouse pattern in the Sew U book by Wendy Mullin. She has a lot of great ideas for how to change up a pattern once you get the basic fit. I really want to see what people can do - so that I can steal shamelessly their ideas!!! ------ blog: encue.blogspot.com Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6)
