It turned out to be a bad idea, since this very fabric turned out\u00a0a bit too soft for a shirt, yet clung to my machine in a most disagreeable manner. I pains me to say it, but sometimes, even for a plain result, sewing is hard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2433 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Pattern-runway-pussy-bow-blouse-in-chambray-sewn-by-Carlotta-3.jpg?resize=525%2C786\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Pattern-runway-pussy-bow-blouse-in-chambray-sewn-by-Carlotta-3.jpg?resize=684%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 684w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Pattern-runway-pussy-bow-blouse-in-chambray-sewn-by-Carlotta-3.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Pattern-runway-pussy-bow-blouse-in-chambray-sewn-by-Carlotta-3.jpg?resize=768%2C1149&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Pattern-runway-pussy-bow-blouse-in-chambray-sewn-by-Carlotta-3.jpg?w=1069&amp;ssl=1 1069w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>Yet, once I was done with the sewing, I was very happy with my new shirt: surely it&#8217;s not perfect, but it&#8217;s very versatile. My laundry basket, this complex ecosystem, now has to count with a new specie, rival of the T-shirt. Poor T-shirts still are the dominant specie, but they sure have trouble ahead : this new kind may be more sophisticated, but it adapts easily to many new environments (it\u00a0seems fine for backpacking, but will also look\u00a0great at a job interview), and reproduces quickly: these pictures were taken last spring, but I&#8217;ve just finished my sixth shirt\/blouse\/you name it. The balance of my frail laundry basket sure is precarious!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2436 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Runway-pattern-pussy-bow-blouse-in-chambray-sewn-by-Carlotta.jpg?resize=525%2C786\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Runway-pattern-pussy-bow-blouse-in-chambray-sewn-by-Carlotta.jpg?resize=684%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 684w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Runway-pattern-pussy-bow-blouse-in-chambray-sewn-by-Carlotta.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Runway-pattern-pussy-bow-blouse-in-chambray-sewn-by-Carlotta.jpg?resize=768%2C1149&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/carlotta.land\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Runway-pattern-pussy-bow-blouse-in-chambray-sewn-by-Carlotta.jpg?w=1069&amp;ssl=1 1069w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pictures by <a href=\"http:\/\/noctvrna.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Noctvrna<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t wear that many shirts.\u00a0Well, that&#8217;s not as true as it used to be.
