I would like to offer my not-quite-right project to a signed-up member of SewRetro. There are a couple of problems with this one, modelled here by Esme in front of my monstrous fabric stash:
a) I'm tall. It's not. It was a test run to see how much I had to lengthen the pattern. The answer: a lot.
b) it's SCREAMING buttercup yellow. Not a colour I think I can wear. Maybe you can.
c) It's made from repurposed cotton with a little light mark here and there, hardly noticeable, but enough to make it un-etsyable. Thus, I offer it to you.
In my defence I will say that is is very nicely made (actually one of the best jobs I've done, which makes it all the more woeful!) from this fabulous bonafide 1950s pattern, bust 36" waist 28" (although I found it a bit roomy... a more voluptuous gal could probably fill it out nicely.)
The fine print is that I'd like the recipient to pay postage and be genuinely interested in the style and concept, not just up for a freebie.
Drop me a line if you want it - livebirdblog_at_gmail_dot_com.
Update: shirt's gone to a good home. Hurray!
