I had plans to make a shirt. This would be for me. One of the joys of being retired is that I can make something for myself without any guilt.
So I cut the fabric into pieces that were 24 inches each - except for one piece which was shorter. That piece was cut in half lengthwise to make the parts under the arms.
Okay, enough talk here are the pictures:
Ignore that odd look on my face - I had to take "selfies" and I hate doing that.
Then there is the back with me wearing the shirt. I will have to wear a T-shirt under it. I am a little bit modest.
I decided to take it outside and get some pictures on the hanger.

I have a nice piece of this left over. I am deciding what I will make with it. And I still have a warp on the loom so I can weave MORE!
