I know I have been enjoying it! I've had TONS of free time to sew and work on all these projects in my head. Some projects have been geared towards the fashion show in April while others have been more personal...
One of my recent personal sewing projects has been to use this odd fabric I have laying around. I originally intended to use it for a cloak for Samhain/Halloween, but that got scrapped. So I decided to play around with a shirt pattern I made myself. The end result is a nice fitting "Tunic" with a deep cut neckline (I intended this because I love things that are different than the average for mens clothing).
It's definitely a different looking top but I enjoy wearing it. It definitely makes it look reversible, or if your head was on backwards the garment would still look "normal."
I pleated the arms to form this "Triangle Pleat" which I "heat set" aka finding out that this fabric basically melts when ironed, hahahaha.
It definitely does not have a lot of stretch so moving around in it can get a bit uncomfortable at times. Constructing it was fun and definitely has me thinking about future options.
