The Final Shirt

Posted in Miscellaneous, Sewing

Ever? Hell no. Of these four basic shirts I’ve been making? Yes!

The author stands against a pale blue wall, photographed from shoulders to thighs. She wears a loose-fitted, pale purple V-necked linen shirt with pale grey linen pants. She has her hands in her pockets, and the shirt is tucked in.

I really love this shade of purple; 10/10 would sew with this fabric again.

The author stands against a pale blue wall, photographed from shoulders to thighs. She wears a pale purple, V-necked linen shirt tucked into pale grey pants. She has her arms outstretched and a hip jutting out playfully.

It came together super smoothly, because I’ve done it three times before now.

The author leans agaisnt a pale blue wall, photographed from shoulders to thighs. She wears a pale purple, V-necked shirt messily untucked from pale grey pants. She has her hands behind her back and one foor propped against the wall.

I reckon it would look really nice in something light and flowy, like rayon or silk. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to purchase silk!

The author stands against a pale blue wall, photographed from shoulders to thighs. She wears a pale purple, V-necked shirt tucked into pale grey pants. Her body is on an angle relative to the camera, and her hands are clasped in front of her.

I also made a pattern pouch for it with some photos from earlier shirts.

A pattern pouch is at the centre of a flat lay, on a wooden surface. The pattern is for the V-necked shirt in this post, labelled 'MLIM Eadaz Shirt Pattern' at the top of the pouch. Surrounding the pouch is several folded Eadaz shirts in various colours, and assorted sewing notions.

I was going to just call it the MLIM Shirt Pattern, but that felt a bit bland. It’s named after one of the main characters from The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, and it’s pronounced ay-daz, according to the author.

Two pattern pouches are centred in a flat lay on a wood surface. One of the pouches is the Eadaz Pattern, and the other is a waistcoat pattern. It's called 'MLIM Tessa Waistcoat Pattern', and has images of the author's pink waistcoat and paisley waistcoat on the front. Around the pouches are sewing notions and a couple of folded Eadaz shirts.

Then, I thought, “Why not name my waistcoat pattern after a book character? Start a bit of a theme?” So I updated my waistcoat pattern pouch, which is now the MLIM Tessa Waistcoat, after Tessa Gray from The Infernal Devices.

I like doing this for patterns I’ve drafted (or heavily adjusted) myself, so all the pattern pieces have somewhere clearly labelled to live. Other patterns I’ve made remain in their original pattern pouches, or hidden away in a folder. (Maybe I should do something about that.) It’s fun to design the pouches, name the patterns, and add them to my collection!

Anyways, see ya!
