Hello, Needlework Monday friends! It's a real pleasure to be back with you all. It's been a while since I last shared anything about my sewing projects, and I must confess I've been a bit absent due to a lack of time and, occasionally, inspiration. Sometimes, life gets so busy that it's hard to find time to pursue our passions. However, I've decided to revisit my love of sewing, and as part of this comeback, I set out to create something special. Today I want to show you a shirt I made using scraps of fabric I had stored away. This project has not only been a way to recycle materials but also an opportunity to let my creativity run wild and explore new color and texture combinations. I hope you enjoy the process as much as I did.
A while ago, I embarked on creating several shirts and tops using scraps of assorted fabric. It was a very exciting process, as I strove to combine colors harmoniously. I remember being very motivated at the time; I had made several garments in a short amount of time. However, since I started studying, I haven't had the opportunity to sew as much as I would like. I should also mention that the sewing machine I use isn't mine, but my mom's. This has also influenced my ability to dedicate time to sewing. I used to spend almost the entire day working on a single top, and since my sewing experience is limited—I only know the basics—I felt a little discouraged and stopped sewing. However, recently I realized I could take up this beautiful hobby again. I decided to make a shirt with several prints that I really liked and thought would work well together. I'm excited to share the process of creating this garment with you. Next, I'll tell you about the materials I used and how I made it.

Paso nro 1
To begin creating my shirt, I carefully selected pieces of fabric that were both patterned and color-coordinated. Among my choices, I have a piece of Mickey Mouse-print fabric, a piece of striped fabric, and a piece of red and white fabric. I decided the striped fabric would be perfect for the shoulders and chest, while the Mickey Mouse fabric would be used for the bottom of the shirt. I made sure both fabrics were long enough to cover both the front and back of the garment. Additionally, I will add a piece of red fabric as a stripe that will be located in the middle of the two fabrics. For the sleeves, I have decided that one will be white fabric and the other will be Mickey Mouse, creating a fun contrast. As for the collar, I will use red fabric to give the shirt a finishing touch. Now, with the help of a pattern, I began cutting the pieces of fabric.

Once I had all the fabric pieces cut, I moved on to the exciting stage of sewing the pieces together. I started by joining the fabric pieces together, making sure everything was aligned correctly. First, I sewed the shoulder seams, joining the striped fabric to the top of the shirt.

After sewing the shoulders, I moved on to sewing the sleeves. For this, I decided that one sleeve would be made of white fabric and the other with a Mickey Mouse print, which would give the shirt a fun, asymmetrical touch. I started by joining each sleeve to the body of the shirt, making sure they were properly aligned. As I sewed, I paid special attention to the seams so everything was even and wrinkle-free. Once the sleeves were sewn, I paused for a moment to admire the progress. The combination of colors and prints was starting to look really good.

To finish, I'm going to sew the collar. To do this, I used the red fabric I had selected earlier. When joining the collar, I made sure it was snug and complemented the rest of the shirt. Once the collar was sewn, I moved on to sewing the sides of the shirt. This was crucial for giving the garment shape and structure. I made sure everything was aligned correctly so the seams would be even. After sewing the sides, I tackled the hem. I folded the bottom edge of the shirt over and sewed it to give it a clean, professional finish. This final step really made a difference, as it gave the shirt a polished look.

When I finished, I couldn't help but feel proud of what I had created. The combination of prints and colors looked incredible, and I was excited to try the shirt on. I can't wait to share the final result and hear your thoughts. Thank you for joining me on this sewing journey! I hope it has inspired you to continue creating and experimenting with your own projects.
