Another shirt, with quilting fabric

I really enjoyed making that shirt, I am now on a roll. A while ago I bought some wonderful fabric from Alexander Henry that is full of owls. How could I resist. I used a different pattern, same methods.Took my tripod out in front of neighbors houses, the ones who have lovely Christmas decorations.I do enjoy combining fabrics, not just in my quilts but in clothing as well. On to another house. Can I tell you how pleased I am with the sleeve slit, the pleats, and the cuff?  I have tried more complicated slits, it’s not worth it, as I get older I am learning that simple is often the best. This is probably more about the decorations that the shirt. How many times do you need to see a shirt.Ok, one more since I am very proud of how clean and professional this is.I do try to accessorize well. How cute are these owl earrings with the shirt?!?  I bought the earring, couldn’t resist.

Then I wore this outfit throughout the day and at the supermarket, the cashier commented on both the shirt and the earrings. I thanked her profusely, so the woman behind me said: I also noticed! Well, thank you as well!

I didn’t mention that I made the shirt, but yes, this is a big reason for sewing my own clothes. Not everyone will comment, but I know that people notice and I love it. I remember reading a book years ago how at 40 women become invisible. I was still in my 30s at the time. Well, guess what, 40 is in the rearview mirror and what can I say, I’m not invisible at all.
