Scratching around in the stash for boredom-busting projects during lockdown, I came across the remnant fabric from this dress. About 1.5m but ony 90cm wide, I estimated a short sleeved shirt was achievable.
I used Butterick 6811 before as a base for this top. This time I started with view B, removed the front pleat, and cut the sleeves as long as the fabric would allow, intending to do turn-up hems.However, I later decided to add cuffs instead, as a bit more length balanced out the look of the shirt.
Actually very happy with the results, apart from the ugly make-do buttons, which have now been replaced, thanks to shops being open again.
Hurray! Think I've got comments working again - would love to hear from you all. How was/is lockdown for you?
