Finally Finished - First Top for Month of Tops!



I finally hemmed the sleeves and bottom of this shirt.  I made it last Monday while at home with my now 8 year old.  He wasn't feeling well that day.  I sewed while he watched tv and read.  By late morning he felt better and then told me everything I ever wanted to know about Star Wars!  We actually enjoyed our sewing/sick day together.

I ordered this fabric because I wanted a good brown shirt.  I was disappointed when the fabric arrived as it wasn't exactly what I envisioned.  I wanted a slightly thicker fabric.  Plus, this one gets a little shine to it when you iron it wrong. 

The pattern is Jalie 2910.  This is the second time I have made it, you can see the first one here.  I have become a little obsessed with Jalie patterns!!

I made a second Jalie shirt that same day.  I hemmed it today also.  I'll post it this weekend also.

  1. That is a real nice fit. Can you buy Jalie patterns where you live or do you have to order them?

  3. I have bought them through pattern review. They were on sale for 410.80 and then there is free shipping when you spend $25.00. That ended up being cheaper than anywhere else I could find. And no, Jalie patterns aren't sold anywhere near me!
