Laowai

I sewed a button up shirt over the weekend. I've had this pattern for probably a year or two. I put off making it because I was intimidated by the two part collar and all those buttons. But as usual with a Liesl and Co. pattern, it was much easier than I thought it would be. And I've had a little experience with my machine's button hole making function so it all went smoothly. 

This is the Liesl and Co. Classic Shirt pattern and I made it out of an IKEA curtain. It's sort of a muslin and now that I know I can do this pattern and I'm happy with the fit I can buy some fun fabric. Maybe a trip to Liberty of London over Spring Break – oooh there's something to look forward to!

Oh and yes, I forgot to button one of the buttons. Didn't notice til after I was done taking photos and I'm not going to re-shoot myself because it's my least favorite thing to do.
