My last lockdown sewing finish is another Bonn shirt. This time made in a lovely silky rust coloured rayon. I chose the 3/4 sleeve version, and it is size 6C. I was worried about sewing the collar being a rayon, but out of the three I have now made, this shirt actually was the easiest to make, the collar and sleeves went on perfectly on their first attempts. However I had major problems with the button holes, for some reason my machine wanted to start finishing them half way through it's cycle, needless to say say there was a lot of swearing that went on with the multiple unpicking I had to do. Eventually they all worked out. Fortuitously I had buttons in my button jar that worked with the pale orange in the flowers.
I love how it looks and feels to wear, and am looking forward to warmer spring days when I can indulge my inner bohemian with shirts like this.
Stay safe, stay home, wear a mask. Kia kaha!
Love the shirt, very Bohemian!!! That's just the sort of comfortable but stylish shirt I used wear when I was younger!
