Duck Egg Blue

Posted in Miscellaneous, Sewing

My third linen shirt is complete!

The author stands against a hedge, wearing a loose, pale blue, V-necked linen shirt with floral pants. She has her hands on her hips, and is photographed from shoulders to thighs. The shirt is untucked.

Would it be a shirt of mine if I did not have at least one version in blue?

The author stands against a hedge, wearing the same pale blue shirt and floral pants. She has her hands clasped in front of her, and her shirt is tucked in to the pants. She's photographed from shoulders to hips.

I do love this shade of pale blue; I believe it’s called Duck Egg by the fabric company.

Not only does it have this cute little hanging loop detail that I adore so much, but I also had to piece some triangles in the bottom corners.

This was the best way to maximise the amount of fabric I had left over, which I have plans for. The piecings are at the bottom hem, so they’re not super noticeable.

The author stands in front of a hedge, wearing the pale blue linen shirt tucked into floral pants. She is photographed from shoulders to thighs, and has one arm swinging across the front of her body. Her body is angled slightly away from camera.

See? Can’t even see them.

I have one more colour of these left to go, and then I’m set for summer! (In this department, anyway. I have loads more summer sewing projects stacked up; I just need to actually make them.)

Anyways, see ya!
