<\/a><\/center>I’ve decided to join the circus! Just kidding, but if I ever DID join the circus, I wouldn’t need a new wardrobe. So even though I am poking fun, I actually like this clown shirt. You can’t really see the neckline very well. My photographer is out of town this week, so I had to rely on the self timer and a stack of books.
\nI was trying to make a shirt out of one of my new Japanese crafting books (I’m too lazy to go look for it. If anyone cares, just let me know, and I’ll supply the ISBN and such). I made a muslin, and wouldn’t you know, the sleeves were too tight! Same predicament as the Built by Wendy pattern with the raglan sleeves and elastic neckline! So, I just extended the pattern pieces a bit, and it worked! I used some nani iro double gauze from my stash and shirred away. The top is super comfy and not too billowy around the torso (one of the concerns with a gathered, tunic-y top). The elasticized clown sleeves are about to push me over the edge, though, so I am going to remove the shirring and narrow the sleeves a bit. Maybe that will make the top less clown-like? That’s not really my goal, though, as I have nothing against clowns (nothing against the happy ones, anyway).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I’ve decided to join the circus!
