I finally got my jacket pattern last week, and am still preparing all the materials I need, so in the meantime, I decided to celebrate by making a shirt!

This is my second boxtop from the indie pattern designer All Well Workshop, and my first time doing a ruffle.It took an evening and an afternoon. This blue gingham is a repurposed old curtain I found secondhand at value village.

I’m already starting a third boxtop, this time with no ruffle, but adding long sleeves, in a light pink linen I found also at value village. All of this is good practice as I warm up and gain more skills for the upcoming jacket.

I’ll talk about the pattern in more depth my next post!
