A Grainline Archer

After a few months break, I am sewing again!



I bought this pattern well over a year ago, and last summer I cut out the pieces and after a few seams, put it away.

Over the February Family Day long weekend this year, I took it out and had it finished within two days (and then it still takes this long to post!!)


I used an article from an old issue of Threads magazine, to give me ideas for using different fabrics.




I picked these shirting fabrics up from a cross border shopping trip to Joanne's in Buffalo a few years ago.


I must say I am really happy with the outcome and got plenty of comments when I wore it to work one Friday.


There will be more Archers. I am thinking of a Chambray one and I have a nice navy and white Stripe which I might use to make a sleeveless version.
