I made another shirt – It’s the Camp Shirt from Liesl and Co. I used some cotton lawn from See you at Six. I like this pattern a lot. It’s a little tailored and a little loose. It’s comfortable and I can wear it all year long. Yay! I ordered the fabric from a local shop but (in this coronavirus time) I didn’t have a good way to get matching thread. So I used some darker green thread that I had on hand. I found this one to be tricky because you can’t hide any imperfections with a solid color fabric and any bits of top stitching really show up if your thread doesn’t match. So my handiwork is OK – but don’t look too closely because it’s a little tortured too. I decided to embrace the unmatched thread situation and made the buttonholes using a bright turquoise thread.

Now back to my quilting project. I’m making steady progress and I want to finish before my girls go back to school in two and a half weeks.
