I've liked so many versions of the Kalle Shirt and Shirt dress by Closet Case Patterns floating around on sewing blogs and IG that I finally made my own! It's a straight size 10 with the back lengthened by 1 inch and the front by 2 inches, side seams blended to match, and finished with bias binding.

| I rounded the collar inspired by and using Lauren's tips from her blog at Guthrie and Ghani |
 |
| As is true with most patterns, the appearance of the Kalle is much influenced by the material used. I knew this stiffer cotton would lend the garment a boxy shape, which was the goal for this one. However, I plan to make up another in a more fluid crepe for a completely different look! |

| I like it with my newly altered white jeans for now...but it should layer nicely in cooler weather! |
Definitely fun to make and wear! Happy Tuesday, Y'all!!! - les
I love that color on you! Pretty fabric and nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a fun make - except it was during this garment that Bernie became more persistent in his problems!!!! But Nina has been a real treat! (Poor ol Bernie!!!)
