Inder

Thank you Sandi, you are awesome!

I have done that soooooo many times! 🙂

No, don’t worry, a lot of us were so excited to have shirt we jumped in and sewed it up!

I am sorry you are sad Roxy.
If you look at the picture on the pattern packet, the shirt is untucked and only just reaches the waistband, thus the style.
I did a length comparison shot here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/4773996320/in/set-72157625212212623
If you want to tuck, it does need some length added.

I made two versions with longer sleeves, they have a more casual feel, one is a farm/play dress.

The sleeve cap is not that gathered but I can understand what you mean by then looking ‘poofy’.
I would consider narrowing the sleeves down to the sleeve hem, tapering them, but I probably would leave the sleeve cap be.

I haven’t made the sleeveless version but I would fold the binding completely inside unless I was using a contrasting fabric.
Like Nicole I found it really roomy while the Birthday Party more fitted.

I have made both tops but it would be beyond me to do an ‘easy’ tute to swop them over.
I am not sayings its not do-able, I am just don’t think it would be a simple task.

Not like we are hassling Liesl…..poke, poke.

I think Inder is right!
(But a soft blazer would be most acceptable)

I would have loved to!
What a pain we are cataloging rams Wednesday and we are already in Horsham……
Thanks so much for thinking of me.

And the Op Shop was amaze balls!

I have just left and spent sooooo much money, oh dear, fabric doesn’t go off does it?
