My New Shirt!

Since it's not a quilt, I thought I'd share it in ChitChat... This is the first piece of clothing I've sewn for myself in probably 15 years! Can't wait to wear it tomorrow. This is Simplicity pattern #1538. All I had to do by way of customization was move the darts down 1" and make the sleeve cuffs narrower by 1.25" each. Perfect fit!

Nice job! I may have to give that a try. I make many of my own clothes but haven't made a shirt in a long time. My favorites are 3/4 sleeve but your long sleeved one looks great!
