Reworking a previously made shirt.

 Last August I made myself a khaki cotton shirt.

Original Version of shirt

Whilst I quite liked it I didn't reach for it a lot. Today I made two changes, first of all I lifted the sleeves slightly as I felt they were hanging off my shoulders. This small change has really improved the fit.

Then I went through all my scraps to find some of this fabric and cut out a pocket flap. I fund another button and added the buttoned flap to the pocket, its now a bit more secure if I actually put anything in the pocket.

Hopefully I'll reach for this more now!

Pocket for a Polo Shirt

 I had this shirt which had a logo on it (related to something I was involved in many years ago).

As the shirt was still in good condition I decided to add a pocket to cover the logo (for the photo below  I have coloured over the logo as its not relevant).

I chose a quilting fabric from Auntie J, which I interfaced and lined with plain purple fabric from Auntie A.

I plan to wear this with olive or tan pants as it doesn't particularly match the other purples in my wardrobe (purple is not a key colour for me)
