Seems a long time since l made a shirt for myself with long sleeves. Buying cheap material does not pay. It was a devil to sew but I just loved the blue flowers.

Very nice. Yes it is true, you have to look for good fabric, afterall you do put some time in sewing it, so you hope also to wear it a while

You sound just like my husband. He gets cross with me when I buy cheap material. I have sent you a PM
Regardless of the fabric the shirt looks fabulous. It's such a pretty blue too. Love Chris

Thank you Chris. I am determined not to buy cheap material for shirts 👚 any more. I just love a bargain.
Your blouses always look so neat, Sarah. I don't know what the problem was, but you mastered it and it came out great.

Thank you Toogie. Fraying was the worst. Thank goodness for the overlocker (serger).

Stella, it is certainly man made material.
