I've decided that sewing shirts may not be worth it. They are just a bother, not nearly as much fun as skirts or dresses. Maybe I'm just not good at it. Who knows?
This is my latest attempt at sewing a shirt for Miss K. I altered a McCall's patterns and used elastic thread instead of putting in casings and then elastic. It was very full around the bottom and too short. Miss K is quite petite and she has a hard time keeping her pants up, so her shirts have to be long enough to hide the slouching pants and showing diaper. I added the bottom ruffley part with more elastic thread to help solve this problem. I think it turned out okay. I also think it's easier to buy a shirt at Target. Oh well.

There are many sewing projects that are "learning experiences" This is a cute "learning experience" and it looks just right for digging in the dirt (sorry you went to so much work for a garden shirt, but I can see a garden trowel in Miss K's hand!).
