I haven't done any sewing for a very long time combination of a new job and my thyroid problem and lupus both deciding to have a party at the same time !

Anyway starting to feel more human and getting used to the new job demands so decided to make up the Jane overshirt  from StyleArc that I have had ready for ages. It's a pretty straightforward shirt  pattern - or would be if my brain was in full gear! Just have the button holes and cuff to do and was pressing the sleeve when I realised I had the back piece back to front !! With the wrong side of the fabric out. :angry:

It's quite prone to fraying and as I have machine sewn the yoke using the Burrito method I really can't be bothered unpicking the whole thing which is what I would have to do and figure mean as I didn't notice until I was pressing it nobody else will  ;)

Next question is will my ever increasing tummy fit in it - combination of huge weight gain thanks to thyroid and inability to exercise because of the lupus - if not I will just leave the bottom couple of buttons open.  Hopefully will get the buttons this week and get it finished

If you like it the way it is, leave it, the final effect is your design not style arc's and unique to you

Welcome back.  :toast: I'm glad you're well enough now to play with fabrics again. Chronic health issues can be so annoying.
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

I would definitely keep it that way and call it a design feature.  Could you add something on the front - a pocket, say - that also has the fabric the 'wrong' way round?
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
