Shirt Burda Style - progress

Very slow progress.

It's not being easy. The fabric is too dark and it's being very dificult to work with it.

I decided that after I mark it with the thread, I have to mark the pattern with chalk, so that I can see it better.

And I've been marking not the wrong side of the fabric, but the right side of the fabric. Thus, when I put right side with right side I align the lines.

Like this:

And also... I have a feeling that the shirt is too large. So that's why I haven't sewed anything yet. It's all basted.

When I have all the shirt basted, I'll try it on and ask someone else to fix it.

Next Project - Shirt Burda Style

This is my next project: a shirt. This will be my first shirt, with buttons.

I chose this, available for a free download at the Burda Style website.

I decided to do it, mainly because it doesn't have the usual collar of the shirts. I also decided not to do with the ruffles in the front. I'm not a big fan of ruffles.

For this model I'm going to have my mom's help, with the collar and the butons. I have never sewed buttonholes in the sewing machine. So, she will help me. I'm not sure if I'm going to start it before Christmas.

Today I stayed at home, not for the best reasons (my son is sick).

Tomorrow I have vactions. Let's see if I have the time to cut the fabric.

Ah, and the chosen fabric was this one.
