Cotton Linen Patchwork Top — Embracing the Journey of Moving Forward

Three months of dedicated effort went into the sample creation. A contrasting placket cotton and linen short sleeve shirt. Embracing the journey of moving forward. Before finalizing the pattern, a small sample was created. The right half of the placket was enhanced with an additional layer of double-gauze fabric. This was intended to add depth and dimension. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZZE-AosxPpWTR8Ew9RsXt7lo7fn_LNCll2q7ZBNKoc_iK-DDQGslyULHFN_8Q14Ait9FZUN0pjFTcjcWCSi5_bm4CbsNok5xMYOiFqZrXYSWSs_-JkFXxQdLM4NEQxkp6jrBrW8G3RG2ZdSRl0KhDhIhrSKZXxtRHaT8SzDZAJ3qoUcqSpeVNTDs77Q/s2860/IMG_1730.jpg The finished garment brings a sense of delight.
