Embroidered Cotton Shirt

Pattern: Burda 06/2008
Fabric: Embroidered Cotton from JoAnns
Accessories: Pearl Snap Fasteners

I like this top, but wish it was a little more fitted, I should have taken it in at the side seams.

I adore the snap fasteners, they were really easy to apply, so much faster even compared to the machine made automatic button holes.

I spent a lot of time laying out the pattern pieces over the fabric for the stripes to match.

    A really cute top. Love the shirring at shoulder and nice job with the embroidery placement.

    Love that fabric! I can also see it in a summer dress.
    I like using snap closures, but have trouble finding a brand of consistently good quality. In other words, sometimes they attach and sometimes the prongs bend the other way or the rivet just collapses in the applicator. Would you mind sharing the brand you use if you are pleased with it? Thanks and keep up the good work, smart to sew for yourself.
