New Look Shirt

When getting ready for a party last week I realized that I had absolutely no shirts that fit.  I have gone down a size and I now look like I am swimming in all of my clothes.  The simple solution would be to take everything in, and there is a pile of stuff to tailor. I am not a simple kinda gal though. So I decided to make some new shirts and I found just the pattern!

New Look 0137 is a cute button down that can be altered several different ways and this polka dot fabric would be just perfect in it! I think the shirt has a vintage 1940s feel.  Super easy to sew and I will be making some more of these bad boys in the coming weeks.

This was the first time I made loop button holes and thanks to the tutorial I found the other day they were super easy to make.

    I can't seem to find this pattern anywhere, I've fallen in love with it after seeing your version. Could you please help me out? I'd be forever grateful.

    Josephine, I either bought this pattern from Hancock or JoAnns, I don't remember which. Have you checked either one?
