Archer Button Up Shirts
I think what I’m sharing today are the last ones from last year’s make, finally! (Yay!)
Remember my first Archer button up shirt? It’s this floral one. Since I loved that one a lot, i made two more soon after that!
First up is the one made with light blue viscose denim.
I’ve lengthened the hem so that I can put this on over leggings! It’s such a comfy shirt…I think this is the perfect over-sized button up shirt!
Viscose denim is light weight, has drape, and soft! It gets wrinkled up in the wash, so I usually iron it after the wash.
I added additional top-stitch lines on the back yoke and around the armholes. I think that give it a very denim shirt-y look!
Another feature of Archer that I love: pleats on the cuffs.
Second up is a buffalo check shirt! All the heart-eyed emojis for this one too, I mean, isn’t this the most basic but fun shirt?!
This one is also lengthened at the hem.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m not a fan of pattern (stripe) matching.
My solution for buffalo check is to cut some pieces in bias! With this one, I cut the back yoke, front pocket, and cuffs in bias direction. It creates an interesting design and I didn’t have to spend hours trying to match the stripes!
I did matched up the front pieces though and that was enough for me!
I usually wear it with the top button open. I love these shirts so much. thanks Grainline Studio for this awesome pattern!
I normally like to post photos of me wearing the garments I made. I believe that those shots show the garments the best and I always enjoy seeing other bloggers’ modeling shots too.
However, as much as I like them, it’s also time consuming to set up a tripod and try to get a good shot by using a remote. Since I have so many projects I’m planning on sharing to catch up (let’s face it, these shirts I shared today were made last year), I’ve decided that I’m just going to share them even without the modeling shots. Like some people say, sometimes it’s better to be done (posted in this case) than perfect.
