Salvaged Fruit Shirt

 OK, the shirt I posted yesterday and its horrible awful unforgivable print repeat: I fixed it.

Disappointing Fruit Shirt

 I got a piece of printed cotton, from the craft thrift store last year, that I wanted to make into a shirt.  I just finished finally making that, using the modified Burda 7831, which, at this point, I can assemble fairly quickly.

I was delighted to find that the print repeat was designed so that the motifs near the selvedge edges fit together perfectly with a 5/8" seam, and that meant I could effortlessly pattern match the front bands, which just seemed like it would be such a fun touch.

But.

I was later extremely dismayed to see that, once everything was sewn and overlapped, that meant that my Most Loathed Sewing Thing happened: the pattern repeated directly next to itself on either side of the seam/opening, and there was nothing I could do about it

I don't say this lightly, but...😭

Continuing the Very 1990s Sweatshirt Theme

This time it used two fabrics from the last visit to the craft thrift store: an innocuous rib knit and an "I never would have worn anything even remotely like this back then" 1990s sweatshirt fleece, and I combined them both with McCall's 5070, an "I wouldn't've worn this back then, either" 1987 raglan sleeve sweatshirt pattern.

...and I'm honestly not sure if I'll wear it now, either

Cool Splat T-shirt

 After cutting the previous project, there was a large(ish) piece of fabric left that was just enough to eke out a little T-shirt for me.

Here's another project made (mostly) with fabric gleaned from the last trip to the craft thrift store.

This one's for the kiddo!

Relatively Quick Pink Shirt

More craft thrift store fabric, another modified Burda 7831, changed up a bit with some lace from deep within the stash

The Rest of the (Doll) Dresses

A few weeks ago, I posted a bunch of doll dresses I'd sewn, saying I needed to change my serger thread before I could sew the rest. Well, I did and I did.

The two lower right dresses are made from fabric purchased at the intervening visit to the craft thrift store, so this is a few more dresses than I expected to sew.  Still,  they're sewn, and I will offer them around certain doll circles in the near future, and proceed to sew things that can use white serger thread (I'm already partway through another modified Burda 7831 button up shirt, using the pink background fabric in the photo, which is also fabric from the last trip to the craft thrift store.)
