Me and May Archer



Well, I'm pretty much lovin' my first Grainline Studios Archer Shirt. I'm not really a button-up shirt wearing sort of girl but this one has my vote. And while the jury is still out on this decision, I may even sew along with the 12 Months of Grainline Studio Archer Shirts  that  the beautiful and talented JStarr4250 has started.
 
Heck, it's 100% cotton. I may even enter it in the Natural Fibers contest on Pattern Review. Who wouldn't love a chance to win $100 from Schmetz!
 
This pattern is drafted beautifully and came together like clockwork. The fun part was picking the fabrics. Here are a few close ups:
 
Inside yoke:
 
 
Collar band:
 
 
 
Cuff:
 

 
 
And a view of the back:
 
 
 
This is a downloadable pattern so you get instant gratification when you plunk down your money. I was reminded what a joy it is to sew on cotton. I was also reminded I need to brush up my topstitching skills! Love my new shirt. Download this pattern and join in on the fun!

Have a happy and safe Memorial Day and God bless America and the folks in Oklahoma.

  3. Love your fun fabric choices! Just finished my muslin, too, and really do like this pattern. Can't wait to make it again -- for real!

  4. You say you aren't a button up kind of girl, but I have to disagree. This looks wonderful on you and is a perfect complement to your gorgeous coloring. I have seen some nice Archer shirts and this one is added to that list. I'm tempted but I promised myself to stick to my spring sewing plan (which includes many things from last year)!
