What a fantastic shirt! Your sewing and blogging are very inspiring. I enjoyed reading the step by step process on your Burda site. And the pattern is FREE!!! How cool is that?
That's a brilliant idea, thankyou! Hope you and the girls are feeling better.
That was my first visit to your blog and I had a nice time thankyou!

That's a very pretty shirt, the contrast materials are beautifully chosen, as usual.
I was sorry to hear about your Grandfather-in-law, losing family is always so hard. xx

Awesome, Nic! Or as John likes to say: "Spectacular!"
Looks like it came straight from Chapel Street (the funky end, of course!).

Wow! Great job, I love how masculine it looks, yet not too mannish thanks to the contrasting fabric.
