I like unusual shirts and recently took it upon myself and my wife’s sewing machine to start making my own shirts.
I ran into this rayon challis in the fabric store and decided I should have a tropical shirt of it. Converting my pattern to accommodate what I’ve heard about rayon challis involved turning the side seams and arm seams into french seams (after adding to the seam allowance on the pattern).
Surprisingly, it fits perfectly. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s the first shirt of this fabric type that I’ve ever owned.
You might be surprised at how well it can go with a well made pattern!
I like wardrobe by me’s patterns (this one is their tropical shirt pattern).
A lot of their patterns also come with process videos as well
Thanks! I was wondering about the pattern.
