“The Shift Dress-Shirt” Butterick 3114

I’ve been dying to make Butterick 3114 since it arrived in the mail from www.oldpatterns.com The construction is super simple, just one front piece and two back pieces, all with double ended darts. I was thinking of making the houndstooth version exactly as it appears on the pattern envelope, but then I found this great plaid flannel shirting in the remnants section of Fabric Depot!

There wasn’t a great deal of the fabric, so I considered adding a large border to the bottom to make it dress-length. After a bit of consideration, Kaitlin and I agreed that it makes a fabulous shirt! Plus, I bought some great buttons that happened to match, and I didn’t feel like installing a zipper today :P

I finished all the seams with pinking shears and all the edges with matching bias tape, turned to the inside. I fitted the dress-shirt a bit more snugly than a traditional shift dress, but I can still putt it on over my head. The best part of this sewing project had to be tuning  into The Kinks station on Pandora while I worked. I felt like a teenager in the 60’s!!

What the FUCK does this shirt have to do with the Sioux? 

Again, with this shit?

“The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-644) is a truth-in-advertising law that prohibits misrepresentation in marketing of Indian arts and crafts products within the United States. It is illegal to offer or display for sale, or sell any art or craft product in a manner that falsely suggests it is Indian produced, an Indian product, or the product of a particular Indian or Indian Tribe or Indian arts and crafts organization, resident within the United States. If a business violates the Act, it can face civil penalties or can be prosecuted and fined up to $1,000,000”.
