Clementine?

Overall this shirt turned out better than the previous shirt, but I think I like the other one better.

I made Simplicity 4077, blouse E without the ruffle on the button placket. The pattern directions for the button placket were so insanely confusing that I originally just tried making it up. I finally realized that in the pattern's convoluted language and the diagram that magically goes from not sewn, to sewn with the buttons attached was instructing me to sew on the placket and then turn it inside out. (Why not just say this, why show the button facing sewn on two of its four sides and not just say: "turn inside out"?) The pattern calls for five buttons, but I used eight buttons in four groups of two. I hate how blouses puff open at the chest, so I tried to avoid that by adding an extra button in that area. It seems to have worked so far.

The fabric is brown with white dots from JoAnn. It was super cheap and says, "do not use for children's sleepwear". I assume this means that it isn't sprayed with anti-flammable chemicals rather than doused in lighter fluid...

Do you remember how Will Ferrell in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, didn't know what to do with his hands during his first post-race interview? I feel like that when taking pictures of shirts. I've taking some pictures without something in my hands but my arms just hang there and look out of place. Hence, this time: would you like a clementine? They're delicious.

Also, two shirts means I can get a serger now, right?
