The Great Vintage Shirt Project - December - Last Month!

Simplicity 2195, Again

For the last month, I thought I'd pull out a pattern that I really like and make it again and in a nice crisp, white oxford with no monogram.  I made this previously (in March, I think) in a white silk/cotton oxford with a red monogram.

It is all cut and ready to go:


Hopefully, I'll have some progress to share tomorrow.  Once this one is done, I'll give a review of the whole project and some things I've discovered along the way.

Parting Shot:  Photo Op.  Normally, I am on the other side of the lens, but since my husband and I both took cameras with us when we went hiking on Saturday, he was able to get a picture of me framing up something at the summit of South Hancock.

Looking forward to seeing your vintage creation. Can't have too many white blouses.

Love the hiking photo! I'm a hiker too and like to slip in a few photos of my hikeson my sewing blog.

I like the version with the overlapping pockets.

Love your vintage shirt projects. I was wondering where you find your white fabric for shirts - I am having a hard time finding nice white fabric that isn't too sheer/thin.

Beautiful pictures!
