I'm not totally convinced yet that the Ottobre pattern I've picked out is going to be THE pattern, but I think it's worth a try. <br /><br />:D As Manchester is a rather large city your description doesn't really help pinpoint where you were! :D Still, I hope you enjoyed my home town while you were here!westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-28423330485413213592014-07-25T01:41:20.479+01:002014-07-25T01:41:20.479+01:00I'm glad your move is completed.

Heck, I just want a button-down that fits - chambray or not.<br /><br />I've been to Manchester! I have no idea where I was when I visited, but I was there for over a week. I remember there being a stadium or field nearby. And a bridge. And a bus stop. This is not helping! =)Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384050927297629715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-81022196462031475492014-07-24T07:29:35.108+01:002014-07-24T07:29:35.108+01:00I love it so far!

I skipped over some of the detailed stuff on the first read through because it's a bit difficult to make sense of it without a pattern in front of me, but I am really looking forward to trying out the cuff application technique when I make the next Carme (because the way you do it in the written instructions seemed doomed to me to produce inferior results from a finish point of view). westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-66194409807465173932014-07-24T07:27:56.344+01:002014-07-24T07:27:56.344+01:00Back in January I slipped and fell on my computer ...Back in January I slipped and fell on my computer and ordered a massive pile of fabric from my favourite online store, and in the mix was a 3m piece of loooooovely blue chambray. I have been petting it on and off for six months waiting for the time/opportunity to make a shirt with it :D If I have enough left I am also going to make a skirt. (Rest assured, I will never wear them together!)westmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305132395354227560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1157694539788402550.post-71271535760679444642014-07-24T00:44:53.006+01:002014-07-24T00:44:53.006+01:00I also am reading Shirtmaking right now and lookin...I also am reading Shirtmaking right now and looking forward to a block of uninterrupted time to work through his suggestions.

I did a round of visiting all of my local garment fabric shops a few weeks ago looking for chambray, and couldn't find any I liked for the shirt that I envisioned, though. :( (I did find some that I really liked for a shirtdress, though.) One shop even had something like 6 different shades of the Robert Kaufman chambray that everyone seems to like so much, but none were close to the picture in my brain. I do not want a pink chambray shirt, dammit!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12940774293224434567noreply@blogger.com
