Since I’ve made the Bruyere shirt for my mother, I’ve been holding of on making my own until recently. So this is my muslin Berlioz (the grey kitten in AristoCats) shirt. I need to make the bust a little bigger. Because when we took the picture above here, my top button popped open. Whoopsi.

Here is a picture up close so you can actually see the colors. It’s quite colorful; grey, white, blue, beige and some inbetween colors as well. The colors for me is a bit boyish, if you catch my drift, but I’m really happy with it.

Looky here! You can’t even see that the back yoke is a separate piece can you?! Happy sewing “accident”. Pattern matching to the point!
