"Polish folk shirts"
I finished this one! Yes, I did!
I originally posted about the top back in June! Here.
The actual pattern is a free one by Moda. The link is here. Thank you, again, Moda! The original pattern is called Sunshine. Once again, I’m so grateful for such a fun pattern that Moda is willing to give to us! Such a gift! We love you, Moda! (Ok, if that isn’t a bit sappy, then I don’t know what is! It’s almost as bad as saying “Thank you” to Google home when they give you some info you asked about.)
It’s a fun pattern to do! I loved it. I didn’t grow tired of it and I could easily do it again - seriously. While making it, the neckline was a bit tedious, but they explain carefully how to make the collar, and it got faster the more I did.
It would also make a wonderful memory quilt pattern from some loved ones’ shirts.
When I quilted this quilt, in order to help the collars stand up, I quilted under them and around the neckline like this:
I noticed that this helped the collar stand up much better after washing. I swirled my way around most of it.
I even made this one the size that their pattern called for. I purposely chose NOT to make a large quilt - wanting to keep it to a small enough quilt to use in my living room - for display. It’s adorable and I’m in love. I hate to be such a softie when it comes to quilts, but it seems like the ones I really like, well, I really like them!
Enjoy!
Here are big pics of several of the shirts.
Just click on the arrows that will go left or right. Otherwise, they will change automatically.
In the end, I’m terribly pleased with this quilt.
If you think you can’t do it, then just try ONE shirt - following their pattern closely. I think you would be able to do it as well!
And there you are! Your eye candy for today!
Have a great day wherever you are reading this! Stay safe!
