Here is the front section cut out but not sewn together. I decided to put my purple colour in the middle to break up the blue/green I had going on
Here is the top sewn together (but not pressed). At this point it was that I realised that I made a good choice in the colour scheme (and happy I had to use brown instead of navy blue material).
Next I cut out sleeves. I sort of "franken-patterned" this top. I dug into my pattern stash and grabbed the first one that I saw had sleeves I had sewn before. Simplicity 4076 (which is apparently still in print)
I cut out the back and the sleeve at the same time.
Sewed the shoulders together
Then sewed on the sleeves (after that I forgot to take pictures). I sewed up the side seams, and hemmed the bottom of the shirt with a twin needle.
I ended up cutting out bands to go around the sleeves because they weren't long enough, as well as making a make-shift neckband for the collar of my shirt. It doesn't look "perfect" on the dummy, but I am really happy with how it turned out. however I really do need to get my serger in to be looked at, it's not running like it should be.
