One Stray Pea

I’m not really sure why I haven’t blogged this one. This shirt has been sitting completed in my sewing room for a couple of months now. The fabric I chose to use Amy Butler Seeds in Olive from the Belle line.This is the fabric that came to mind as soon as I bought this pattern.

I was prepared for the low-cut of this shirt, as I had read about 10 reviews saying the same thing. I had some issues with the neck line, which I ended up just hand sewing (ugh, HATE hand sewing). I was really happy with the way this shirt turned out. I made the size 6 and I think it’s a good fit, and it didn’t require a lot of altering. I should probably stick with the Built By Wendy patterns as they do tend to run smaller. Perhaps the bust could have come in a little more, but that’s the story of my life!
