And it begins....again



Another project has begun...imagine that!  This one I am determined to finish...SOON!  I'm excited about this shirt.  It is from Burda Magazine, March 2009 edition.  I searched for the technical drawing to add, but since burdafashion.com merged with burdastyle.com, I don't know how to find it anymore.  If you do, help me please!  Anyways, the shirt is a short sleeved safari-style shirt with lots of additional details like pocket, front yoke (gun flap), epaulettes, and sleeve tabs.  I plan on using all of the details in my design.


I'm going to use a beautiful blue (which is much brighter than the picture) Cotton Poplin I bought from Gorgeous Fabrics many months ago.  I am also mentally debating buttons.  I'm thinking matching blue buttons for the front button placket and pocket flap, and the gold-ish, bronze-ish buttons for the details.  Any suggestions?
