Many years ago I bought a length of soft blue/grey/teal babycord with a section of beading and embroidery across it.
I think I'd intended to make a gathered skirt, but as I don't really wear them it stayed uncut in my stash.
It has now been turned into a shirt. To maximise the embroidered section I cut the front and back with the detail running near the hem, the sleeves, collar and cuffs are plain, though I did need to line the cuffs with a contrast scrap of paisley cotton from Auntie Joy's stash.

For the pattern I used the Prima March 2020 shirtdress cut down to a shirt. It is a very economical pattern for short yardages.

I love this shirt! It's a spectacular use of the fabric.
what a beautiful shirt,luv the embroidered bottom
Lovely shirt! Great use of the fabric.
This shirt really ties in well with your SWAP concept and also hearkens back to your original inspiration of the beautiful paisley pattered fabric. Kudos galore!!
