I thoroughly enjoyed making this overshirt, the instructions of all the Modern Sewing Co patterns are all very detailed and logical. I used a medium weight light pink denim from Merchant & Mills for the project. The sleeves are a perfect length which is quite unusual for me, my only tricky bit was easing in the fullness at the sleeve head, but I think that was partly my own fault as I had graded sizes between the neck area, yoke and back and possibly didn't amend the sleeves!
Couldn't make up my mind between denim jacket type studs to close, or buttons and buttonholes, but finally opted for candy stripe pink and white buttons, larger ones down the front and smaller ones on the cuffs. I took Hetty's advice and went over the buttonholes twice, which definitely makes them feel sturdier and less likely to fray in the future. All in all I'm delighted with this make !
I really enjoyed sewing the overshirt pattern. The clarity of the instructions was an absolute lifesaver for me - watching and replaying (multiple times) I successfully made a Shirt that I enjoy wearing.
