All right! Let's follow this logic of experimenting with clothing!!
First of all, this **is** my first article of clothing ever made **with** a pattern!! With that in mind, I believe it came out nicely. This is the New Look pattern 6515 bin 117 size A 8-18. My attempt was variation B with shorter sleeves.
As you can see in the photo below, I managed to cut out all of the pattern pieces (I think!). Sometimes reading the patterns can be quite tricky! Oh what I would have given to have someone with experience there to help me with this one!
Between here, there, and yonder I managed to get it all sewn together... hopefully close to what the pattern showed. Below is the finished product. Looks nice, right?
I made this for the largest size it showed (18 misses) and, as you can see, it still came out snug!! Surely I haven't gained THAT much weight in the last 4 years!! Maybe it's because I sewed it together weird... yeah... we'll go with that....
Overall, I feel accomplished by the completion of this shirt. It is a learning experience for certain! But now I know how to do things a little differently so maybe the next one will FIT!!
Blessings!!
