Burda Style For people who sew

Description

I had ordered the purple stripe fabric online thinking that because it said “jersey”, that it would be fluid and soft. Instead it was thicker and stiff so I had to change the pattern I would use with it. I went with Lydia thinking I could customize it as desired, but also unsure of what other patterns might work with such a stiff “jersey”. I think I had the Riviera shirt from Hot Patterns in mind because I envisioned an elbow length sailor-like top. I’m not sure I accomplished it – it’s a little baggier than I wanted and, though I cut the neck a little wider, I should have gone more boat neck. BUT, it’s not a loss – it’s a comfy shirt and I’m thinking should another little one come along someday, it would be a great early pregnancy shirt. Here are some dress form pictures of it and one of me and my son at a birthday party, to which I wore my Lydia (he’s mid-bite of food :) ).
