Black shirt with asymmetrical hemline; Butterick 5786. Not hard to sew, but this one took time. Example? I was putting the cuff on #2 sleeve and nicked the body of the sleeve with my scissors...my bad; had to recut and redo with what extra fabric I had leftover. I did 1/2" buttonholes before I had my buttons. I needed 10 buttons to complete the shirt. Joann's in Temecula had such a limited assortment of 1/2" buttons in stock and, except for these, none with 10 of anything in black, or wood, or coconut, or shirt buttons...
nada! Staring at a button rack for a half hour
does not make buttons appear. These will do, but one day, if this shirt wears well as I expect it will, I plan to replace the buttons. This is garment #2 of my Fall wardrobe, which I am building one by one.
What next? Well actually, I have pants on my mind, and I'll be putting great effort into finding just right pattern, with just the right fit, to make the perfect pair of pants. I'm thinking of a lovely pair of lined, woolen pants to go with a stylish jacket of the same fabric, for travel and holiday wear.
