Cotton Crinkle Summer Shirt - finished

Finished, a shirt to run around in, it's light, cool, and roomy. It still needs a good pressing, and I'm hoping that going forward after washing it, I can just hang it up. I originally made ties to tie into a bow, but it was changed to what you see below, just a simple little knot. I like it better.

The body & sleeve hem were serged twice, so there's a little bit of a lettuce leaf finish to it. This fabric tends to stretch out after it is worn for awhile, but shrinks back up after it is washed. I will definitely take the ease out of the sleeve cap for the next version. The fabric was from a FabricMart bundle, and I still have enough for a short skirt

I love it! The color is great and the little knot is a cool touch.

This shirt is lovely. If it is already crinkled, does this mean you won't have to iron it? I am always interested in clothes that I don't have to iron. :)

Thanks Heather, I was thinking it might be fun to dye it a denim blue. (Darker colors having slimming qualities :)

Karin, It better be non iron! I only iron seams open.
