The square on the upper right hand corner is the color of the shirt I've been making. To follow up on the shirt:
I've got binding attached to one side seam of the shirt and am happy with the results. It should keep linen's tendency to fray to a minimum as well as strengthening the seam.
To back up a little, the pattern for my shirt is self drafted and essentially the robe pattern that Jude shared in her Contemporary Boro class.
A little more complicated version with directions by Cal Patch can be found at A Verb for Keeping Warm. I say complicated in that it is more fitted. Mine is four squares with a neckline. I also cut an angle on the sleeve squares just to see... The squares work for me because it is loose fitting.
For anyone interested in sewing clothes, Cal Patch's book is great even if you don't want to draft your own patterns. Knowing how patterns are drafted helps with understanding fit. The directions she gives for assembling clothes can be applied to any pattern.
I have more to say about the shirt...later. :)
