DIY: Shirt

12:54 PM




I whipped up this shirt the other day. This was the first shirt I made without using a pattern. Since I thought it wouldn't work, I didn't document the experience. I totally should have because it worked!! Okay, I know it's not perfect but I am proud of it.

I had to make it a V-Neck because I was having trouble making a round neck since I was using Jersey-knit fabric rather than ribbing. Curves can be tricky for me. I still need to figure out how to make then lay right. Thus, the back of the shirt has straight lines too rather than curves. I actually like not having the standard curved neck and back lines.

Sisters Meg and Steph discovered that while living the life of poor, newlywed, college students, with fresh little babies in the middle of The Great Recession they could still have what they needed and wanted if they got to work and created things with their own hands. This mindset has saved them thousands of dollars in living expenses, and as they share their knowledge with others, the savings keeps growing.
