Title: Closet Case Kalle Shirtdress
Post by: Fabric Lover on January 14, 2020, 19:43:07 PM
I registered for a workshop at Sewisfaction in December based on making shirts using the Kalle shirt pattern but it had to be postponed due to illness of the tutor. As I had cut this for the workshop and patience has never been my strong point

@Fabric Lover: your fabric looks like an animal print, why not enter the dress into the Jungle January contest?

That looks great, you didn't need the workshop!

Very nice. You can wear it as a dress or as a tunic, too.

I love a shirt dress, and this one looks lovely.

I may have to just look at the pattern.... ;)

@b15erk  Jessie, I would mention two things about the pattern. First that it only comes with short dropped shoulder type sleeves, you have to but a separate pattern for the sleeves which isPDF only. Second the shoulder seams are quite a way back, when I make it again I need to bring it forward by an inch or so, and I’m not particularly round shouldered.

@Fabric Lover: Jungle January (https://thesewingplace.org.uk/index.php/topic,9018.0.html), but you will have to read the rules to check for eligibility.
