Hola,
A springtime little post today about the 'All In' Easy Fit Shirt by Pattern Emporium.
This is another case of me being influenced on Pinterest and inspired to replicate a 'look'. I think I nailed this one! (It's as close to 'cool girl' as I'm getting).
It is NOT oversize (they have another version for that - Ocean Daze Overfit Shirt - which is also fab).
As with most Pattern Emporium patterns, there are a multitude of options for this relaxed shirt. Various sleeve lengths, ruffles, a dress version - another great pattern for the armoury. This is just your classic collared shirt with sleeves and cuffs.
The size I picked was an 18/20 exactly as per the chart - no changes made. I would lengthen the sleeves and widen the cuff next time as they were a bit tight on me. I always roll my sleeves up anyway though so it didn't really matter.
To achieve the embroidered front, I bought a load of floral applique from Amazon and carefully placed and pinned it into place. When happy with the result I then pain painstakingly sewed all around the edges in pink, green and khaki to blend in. This did take a while but I love the result. The applique is also 3D in places so I like it gives some volume.
The inside of the shirt is hilarious though...
As you probably know, I can't leave things alone so of course I had to add a little frog or two just for fun. And glitter bug buttons. I think these are quite subtle this time though! The shirt is so comfortable to wear, it's already been out in the wild the day after I finished it.
As this shirt is all things floral and garden, I had to pick an appropriate label - this time a little bee from Guthrie & Ghani.
If you're after a lovely relaxed shirt - this one is a great option. Let me know if you have a classic shirt favourite!
Wishing everyone well and thank you for stopping by - feel free to comment and come and say hello on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Bloglovin too xxx
