I have entered the one pattern many looks contest

Pattern Review are holding another competition - One Pattern Many Looks and I have consolidated the 8 shirts made (so far) to enter the contest before the closing date at the end of this month.

From the basic pattern, here are the changes I have made:-

Added Flat Felled Seams - all shirts
Collar Stay - some shirts
Pleats in the back - some shirts
Contrasting fabric for collar band, cuff and front bands - on selected shirts
Replaced the basic cuff with a French cuff - on all shirts so far (for the last two I want these to be very casual so will put on basic cuff).

If you think its worth a vote then please vote for me :-)

    Love the shirts for Mike. Went to PR to look at all the contestants and I can't vote. Will check back later to see if I can. I am logged in to the site too.
    Waiting to see the last two shirts.

    How wonderful to see them all together. Great result!
    Good luck in the contest. And will you be sewing the next two first or perhaps a bra?

    Thanks everyone - I am not too optimistic, but saw the competition and thought I have definitely got the milage out of one pattern with these shirts so why not give it a go........of course my bigger prize is my handbag :-)

    Wow! These are some fabulous looking shirts! I've been wanting to make a shirt for both my son and my husband, so I might have to get this pattern. Yours turned out really nicely.

      Nancy it is easy enough to do and there are no darts to cope with either. Give it a go - thanks for your compliment.

    Adding my congratulations for your contest win and on finishing this lovely collection of shirts. People will start asking Mike for his autograph. He will look like a film star. You are truly a couture seamstress the way you handle all the details. ---Anita
