thimbly things

I missed this last week, but on my desk today are pattern pieces, elastic, woven fabric in navy and green, and some shirts than need to be spiffied-up.  I love this Built By Wendy pattern.  Over the weekend, I finally tried it out (a year after purchasing it), and the results were not too shabby.

I shortened the sleeves from what you see here because I looked very much like a yellow triangle.  Then I wore it out last night, and it got stinky from a bonfire–so no pictures.  But I really like it!  Now I want to make another one in a more flattering color and a thinner fabric.  Meanwhile, I plan to use the pattern pieces to add new yokes to old shirts.  I’ll let you know how that goes.
