I found some material with an interesting pattern just right for a short sleeve shirt. One problem with buying material at a thrift store is you don't always get the yardage presented. The tag on the material read 2 1/2 yards. I decided I could make another McCalls 3 hour shirt in a short sleeve. However, when I opened up the material at home, it was exactly 2 yards. What to do now? I looked through my stash and found a Simplicity 7330 pattern which is also represented as a 3 hour shirt. It needed 2 yards. I thought great, and started cutting.
Speaking of cutting, My friend Larry gave me a rechargeable cutter called Zip Snip. It worked great for cutting the material. I can't believe how much easier than scissors this cut the material.

Thanks for stopping.
Best of luck with the shirt!!!! Must see where I can buy Zip Snip... Looks handy
ReplyDeleteI took an intro to quilting class & we used a rotary cutter that was similar to your Zip Snip. Definitely easier than using scissors.
ReplyDeleteMy hands aren't as good as they should be. This tool sure makes life easier.
