I had some blue fabric left over from the pants I made.
I found an old pattern and thought I'd try a shirt. I didn't have enough fabric for the collar so used some scraps I had in the stash. (My stash is so low, alas not enough to make anything).
The contrasting collar gives it an air of the 'Dinner Lady' don't you think? I call this my 'Diner' shirt and will endeavour to embroider either my name, or something a little more funky like these, on the breast under the collar.
I have yet to tackle the button holes. Too scary.
I would love to find some dinky little buttons in the shape of coffee cups or cupcakes... with sprinkles.

Very cute! I like your ideas to embellish the piece.
Great shirt! What Simplicity Pattern number is that if you don't mind me asking?
Hi Deb, it's Simplicity 'easy to sew' 9158
I've had the pattern for ages, hope it's still available...
Thank you Jeanie!!
