NO MUSLIN :0My Measurements are:

What was your inspiration?
I watched the entire online class, made notes and thought that I would love to make a nice classic tailored white shirt. Had a really pretty cotton and silk blend very sheer fabric with a small floral print and buttons to match.
What are you most proud of?
That I used her technique in doing all my flat felled seams. I purchased the special felling foot for my BabyLock Decorators choice and was not that impressed so off it came and on I went with Pam's technique. Perfect results with great control.
Did you see that collar?
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Open your mind up to possibilities. It;s not just a class on how to make a classic shirt. This class has lots of options where you can take your creative process. How about a jacket. Yes jacket she has some wonderful examples she shows in the classroom. How about using a silk dupioni? Denim?
After this class my next project is a unlined denim classic jacket pattern M5860 in a silk dupioni and a pair of AW#4200 classic boot cut jeans. Between this class on The Classic Tailored Shirt and the Unlined Jacket Class on Pattern review the jacket is going to be a breeze with Pam and Angela's class.
