Girl summer shirts



When I asked our middle daughter what she wanted me to sew for her on our sewing weekend she replied "shirts", so I made her four Regem shirts. A few years ago, I still very much disliked using the same pattern multiple times in a row, now I really love it, as you probably judged from me using the same patterns over and over again in the recent years. But, this time I did not do four times copy paste, like in this post. This time I made four different shirts.



Let's start with the most plain Regem, the one with the mermaid/cat print. I would either call them mercat or catfish but in English both are taken by a different animal already. I love the boldness of the print and it did not need anything else than a contrasting neckband in my opinion, one that contrasted while still matching with the print because the tiny starfish have a similar color.



The second shirt, sewn in magical color changing fabric, is another rather plain shirt, but this time I finished the neck line differently. I did not want to distract from the print itself, so I simply folded over the neckline and sewed it in place. Even quicker than working with a neck band. Not all fabrics are suitable for this, especially if you fabric is very stretchy, you easily get a wavy line. This rather thin fabric had just the right amount of stretch for a fold over neckline.



The third shirt, has another sea print and I used the front color block option of the Regem. I wanted the back to be mostly sea animals, but I also wanted the sleeves to match with something on the back as well. I therefore went for a straight color block line on the back. My plain light blue fabric was almost totally gone already, so I had to make an extra seam. By putting it exactly in the middle I feel it gives a extra depth to the shirt.



For the last shirt I color blocked my heart out. The rainbows in the fabric were inspiring, and I color blocked a rainbow on the front. I did not have any yellow in my scrap collection, but she did. I probably could have found some plain yellow as well seomwhere in the room with 22 addicted sewists, but I love the crazy mix with the yellow/orange print.

    Je témoigne ici de la compétence d'un vieil homme vraiment remarquable.

    Je vous assure que j'ai contacté plusieurs marabouts qui n'étaient que des imposteurs, des menteurs, des escrocs – je ne sais plus comment les qualifier. Mais après de longues recherches, j'ai rencontré ce vieil homme qui m'a rendu le bonheur, celui que je recherchais depuis tant d'années. Il est vraiment merveilleux. Je souffrais d'une rupture avec mon mari ; il m'a quittée il y a un an et un mois. J'ai même perdu mon emploi. Mon père était gravement malade, mais en trois jours seulement, je vous assure, des miracles se sont produits dans ma vie grâce à ce vieil homme. Aujourd'hui, je vis heureuse avec mon mari, mon père est guéri, j'ai été rappelée au travail – et même si j'ai refusé –, je suis maintenant dans un autre service, bien meilleur que le précédent. Je ne sais vraiment pas comment remercier ce vieil homme. Il s'est occupé de moi gratuitement. J'ai d'abord ressenti une profonde satisfaction avant de le récompenser. Il est vraiment très bon.

    Alors, si vous avez le moindre problème, le moindre souci, n'ayez plus d'inquiétude. Contactez directement ce vieil homme. Voici son adresse :
