Sewaholic Ladies Sewing Pattern Granville shirt
Few things look more put together than a quick pairing of jeans (preferably clean) and a well fitting shirt. Having discovered a shirt pattern that suits my lifestyle, I sewed a 4th Sewaholic Ladies Sewing Pattern Granville shirt :-).
The floral fabric was purchased from Ebay over a year ago and I can’t say what sort of fabric it is. It’s definitely cotton – not fine enough to be lawn and not heavy enough to be quilting cotton.
I have already regaled with the details of fitting here and sewed up two further ones in paisley and floral.
Sewing Construction
Construction wise, sewing it was a lot faster. There is an almost meditative joy in flat felling for me. For the buttons, I used repurposed Crew Clothing Co from an old old old shirt.

Self Care
In other news, I have realised that sewing is one of my favorite ways to refresh. When I am not doing things that I love, that feed my soul then…….well I’ve learned from experience that when I am depleted, I’m not the wife, mother, or friend I want to be. The more I feed my own soul, the more I have to give out.
The only problem is time. Since I can’t clone myself a la Multiplicity ( a great movie if you haven’t watched) or simply wish for more hours in a day – I must make the time.
We all know that doesn’t happen automatically. It needs to be planned, especially if you are responsible for the daily care of kids among other things. I find these stages of constant giving can be draining.  I haven’t yet quite figured out how I will do it but my thinking hat is on. Just the realisation was a huge shift for me. I now know I dont have to feel guilty about spending money on patterns or fabric or time in my sewing cave. Because it actually makes me a better person. On that note many thanks for reading this far into my ramblings.
Happy Sewing
