Finished it!

I haven't tried it on yet, but, everything's sewn that's supposed to be sewn.

Note to self:  Five layers of cotton is not really enough--INTERFACE THE PLACKET.  Next time.  At least I caught myself before I ended up making any buttonholes off-center, because I have learned that I cannot eyeball stuff.  Rulers are my friend.

I do want to make a skirt to go with this, because it seems like, whenever I make a shirt that does not match any skirts I have, and then I make a skirt to match the shirt, then that the skirt actually works well with other shirts I have...or might make...  Yeah, yeah, I know, that shouldn't seem as weird as it does to me.  This idea of "make things that might go with other things, as well as being useful for everyday wear" instead of  "HEY MAKE THIS BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL BE KOOKY FUN!" is still a new and strange thing for me.

Poking along

Felt rather uninspired the last week (cyclical chemical side effect, whee), decided I should make SOMETHING, but, when I confronted the fabric stash...there were so many somethings I could make that I didn't know where to start.

I decided, therefore, to try to be...random.  I turned my back on the cloth, stuck my hand in the "cotton of 3 yards or less" section, and started rifling back and forth until Chip meowed at me for attention, which put my hand on this

Oh.  Hmm.

Mixin' stuff up

So, combining these

and these

results in...

A "Wearable" "Muslin"

So, Simplicity 3799 from 1951.  Decided to finally give it a...try...

Hmmm...

No cuts/commitments have been made...yet...
