New pink shirt



Which is a lovely, light almost lawn with a print of little pink and lavender flowers on an ivory background.  In order to accommodate losing weight while still having a lipodema deposit below my waist I had to let it out at the bottom, but thankfully I saved the scraps for quilting so I had the material to match. In order to accommodate losing weight I had to take it in at the top with tucks under the arms and at the neckline.  Four little ivory buttons down the top tuck made it look like a design feature.  I also added an ivory bias tape facing because this is a remade shirt and my original hem was not holding up.

But I love it.  It's pretty, soft, delicate and will be very comfortable for summer.

As an aside, I really hope the husband can get our camera to talk to my computer this week.  iPad pictures are just not the best.  If so I'll replace this one.
