check me shirt
i made this shirt a few months back from this japanese pattern book and am finally getting around to posting it. phew, i’ve had a busy few months with freelance work. i love the fabric but the chest area is a little weird. it would be a great shirt if you were trying to hide that you’re preggers cause it puffs out a bit. if i made it again i would probably tweak those gathers in the front. i found the fabric at fabric depot during thier 40% off sale. it’s a vintage reprint of a 1940’s pattern.

Hi Becky,
I’ve been lusting after Japanese pattern books for a while. Did you find yours in Portland or order them online? I’ve seen some home dec and children’s stuff in Japanese at Bolt, but nothing for adults.
Thanks,
Kate
