I finally got around to it and it’s complete after 2 months of hibernation. I started this at the start of May and just got busy sewing bags and bags and crocheting little people. I don’t think I’ve ever had a checkered shirt so now I have one!

This was part of Sew-U by Wendy Mullin. I actually was quite surprised how quickly I completed sewing this together - 1 day. The trickiest and hardest part of this project was the collar - always have a problem with the collar. But I managed to wing it and make it look somewhat decent looking without making it look like a disaster.

Now I want to sew myself a dress!!
