I have been quilting more than sewing lately. But when I was buying quilt fabric for 70% off at Joanns this week, I found some cute doggy fabric. I thought it would be a good shirt for picnics, wine tasting, and other fun outings. Red usually isn't my color, so this is a departure from the norm for me. However, the thread that matched is called tomato 🍅, so not too bright.
Since this is going to be a "fun" shirt, I am using Simplicity 7330 which is my "go to" relaxed -fit shirt pattern. This pattern has both a notched collar and a collar with stand. I am making the collar with stand. It will be medium size with short sleeves.
I also decided to use my Bernina 1120 to sew this shirt. This is a wonderful machine that is smooth and powerful.
There were two events this weekend Joe and I attended. One was a local artists show and the other was a wine tasting fundraiser for cancer patient transportation to the treatment center, which is an hour drive from us.
Perfect places to wear my shirt.

Great job on the shirt. I keep buying fun fabrics but they languish in my stash.
