I've been wanting to try sewing my own shirts for a while now and I think this is a good first attempt. I based the pattern on I shirt I already have. I hand sewed the button holes because my machine has a stitch for it but only Good knows how to work it. In my model picture please excuse all the wrinkles, my cat slept on it the night before.
