New Pattern Lust: The Archer Button-Up From Grainline Studio


ArcherButtonUp02

My love for Grainline Studios is no secret and I have every single pattern by Jen Beeman in my “to sew” queue (sadly, I tried to make the Tiny Pocket Tank lately and didn’t pick a good fabric for it…lesson learned for next time).  So when I saw her newly released pattern last night, The Archer Button-Up, it shot waaaay up to the top of my sewing list.

Dig that back ruffle, isn’t it divine?  This could have been just another button-up shirt but the ruffle takes it beyond that and makes it a much more fun addition to your wardrobe than just another closet staple.  Plus, it makes a masculine shirt much more girly, yay for that.

I’d love to make it in a purple or pink plaid (if my plaid-matching skills were up to par, that is) or a Liberty of London cotton lawn.  Yikes, sewing queue, you seem to be growing every day with all of the indie patterns I want to sew…this is truly the Year of the Indie Sewing Pattern for me.

Do you love the new pattern?  What kind of fabric would you use?

    I have never heard of these patterns before, but that one looks great! I'll have to check out the other designs.

    That is a neat pattern. I looked at the front, and was thinking, what is so different, but the back, now that is cool!

    This went straight to the top of my already-too-long list. I'm going to try it in a Liberty lawn too! Can't wait to see yours.

    I freakin' LOVE this pattern (like all of Jen's)! I basically live in slouchy boyfriend shirts, so this is the perfect style for me! I have two project deadlines to finish this month, then I'm so making this! What fabric are you planning to use?

    I love this pattern too. The ruffle is what sold me.
