Ms. Eliza Bennet Shirt

Modeled after a Jane Austin heroine, I quickly fell in love with this shirt pattern over at Meanie Greene (click to get the pattern). Whimsical, polished, super comfy, what's not to love? I do admit I didn't totally follow the patter, yes I know you aren't surprise. You see it called for a side zipper.. and me and zippers, well we get along fine... except when the sewing machine gets involved, then we're enemies. So I decided to forgo the zipper + belt and used elastic instead (cop-out).

I was going to try and explain what I did to end up with this shirt... but the more I wrote, the more confusing it got... so I think it's better if I just keep my mouth shut.

Basically I used her pattern up to step 6. Then I got creative with elastic and creating a side wrap with button closure. (see the cute yellow button on my side) The end. :)
