Hello Readers. I know this month has been a lot of animal prints and most of them were giraffes. But... I have one more giraffe to share. This long sleeve shirt was soft and stretchy but I just felt like it might be too much. Like too much giraffe print? Let's see how we can calm down a print that feel like too much.
Before and after.
This shirt was a little baggy and a little long on me and the skirt was a mid knee length, that wasn't great on me either.
I decided to size the shirt down a little.
The skirt got a little trim and a new hem for the lining and the skirt itself.
I loved how this outfit turned out. It was looking much better but...it was so hot when I wore it that I went back to the sewing room asap.
I decided the sleeves needed to be shorter and the length of the shirt could be shortened also. I wanted to use my serger and do a flatlock stitch. I am still learning how the serger can do different things.
I stitched the right sides together and then ....
Here is a close up of my first flatlock stitch. This will be great for other knit clothes too. Thanks for reading along, now go make something for yourself.
*Year End Note From Chickie- I love this shirt. It is soft and gets a lot of wear. I haven't worn the skirt as much. Maybe tan is not fun enough for me?
