Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is my third ever sewing project, my first one from burdastyle. It was also my first time using a twin needle, so that was a bit exciting. :) The bottom hem is different from the top because I accidentally sewed it backwards… The shoulders are also a bit messy, and I’d like it to be a bit more fitted under the bust and around the waist area cuz I think it makes me look a bit big, but I’ll deal with it. :] The burda pattern was quite easy to work with, which made life easy for me, since I don’t read patterns all that well. Overall, I’m pretty happy with it
Material Notes
a slightly stretchy, vinyly feeling green fabric with "eyes" or duck looking print

For your third project ever, that is good!
Now you can use this shirt to correct the pattern for your perfect fit on the next shirt. (I have made up to three before getting the perfect fit, hopefully you have more skills than I)
