Another Simplicity 1279 in Classic White
Need a necklace I just want to document #3 of Simplicity 1279. This shirt pattern is my boo and I really like the fit. If you follow me on instagram, in my stories I share a lot of how my projects look and my thoughts way before I blog about it. I’ve been on a shirt making kick and, as I work through my wardrobe essentials, this had to made. The only change I’ve made from the this version was adding the button band to the front bodice and leaving off the collar. I used Simplicity 8014 to give me an idea of how I wanted to do that. I…

Simplicity 1279 #2 In Chambray Twill
Ok friends, I’ve adjusted my new TNT button up shirt and I believe this is my favorite. I’ve been thinking if I should adjust the back pattern piece to a princess seam version as well, but I enjoy not having a fitted back so maybe I’ll adjust it later.

Simplicity 1279 (oop) Button front shirt
I’ve always wondered is there “too many” times you can make a pattern and these days I think no, well for me it’s no. You may not want to make the pattern exactly the same way each time, but things go so much faster when the fit is ironed out and you know the construction of the pattern. I’ve made Simplicity 8014 a ton of times and I actually couldn’t find the pattern so I grabbed this one out of the “pre donate pattern pile” (LOL). Yes, I have pre, pre donate piles as there can be stages to purging for me. This pattern had cup sizes and, multiple collars…
