Beautiful Linen Shirt

I purchased the Cara Top with the Workshop. I made it in a 4 ounce white linen and it looks absolutely professional. I love the drape and the stand up collar! I did not make a toile, so it's on me that I had to adjust the sizing as I went along. I felt so confident with Hetty skillfullying demonstrating each step as we went along. My only issue is that the underarm gaps at tad more than I prefer, making it perfect for layering over my white linen Array Top. My shirt is a combination of size 8 and 6. I am 5'5" and weight about 119 pounds. I will definitely sew this again. My sister tried it on too and she just loves it!

Beautiful shirt I’ll be making again

Second modern sewing company project (after the Cara top). I made this as a gift for my mother, and added the collar from the Cara top because I liked that style so much. Apart from a silly mistake I made sewing on the collar (over-confident, and didn’t rewatch video thoroughly), this variation worked out well. I’d love more hacks on how to add different collars to things - what about a Peter Pan collar hack? Overall just an amazing product, the workshops make the whole thing so achievable and fun. Thank you Hettie so much!
