I will admit that I purchased this fabric as I was working on my last version of Simplicity 8658. I loved the pattern that much. Also there were all these versions floating around in my mind in a variety of colors and yes, more border prints. However, since my sewing is wayyyyy slower than my fabric shopping these days this means I'm just getting around to it. Also some of the design elements of my original idea have changed.
Materials ~
A cotton double sided borderprint from FM - purchased the end of 2021
Design & Construction Details ~
I used this border print differently from the last one. I wanted the body of the shirt to have a more solid appearance. I didn't want the border print to be the featured aspect. So I chopped into the border print a bit.
Using the floral print for the neckline and raglan sleeves and the striped portion as a band around the bottom of the top.
A Few Photos ~
I may make this again come fall...but it's shelved for now because I still have a bunch of summer dresses to sew! It's a very versatile pattern and I highly recommend it.
