Pierrot: The Body of the Shirt

Pierrot's Shirt

Hi! 

So, my father used the patterns we figured out the other day to make the body of the shirt, and it looks pretty great! I'm very pleased with the shape. 

As you can see, we extended the sleeves a little past the hemline of the shirt to give it a more floppy appearance. We also widened the body of the shirt from the (already widened) pattern by about 4 more inches, but even with all that widening, I would say that you could widen it even more if you wanted it to look really billowy.

The neck.

The picture on the above is showing where the drawstrings for the collar are positioned inside the shirt.  They are in the hem of the collar and come out in the back on the inside of the shirt. Then you just pull the strings and tie, and you have a lovely scrunch!

I could just leave the shirt like this, because it looks pretty good, but I'm also going to have a collar, which will be discussed in the next post, and some fun pom-pom buttons!

Happy Halloween!
