Shirts and Samples

Yesterday I had worked on some samples for the hobbit shirt, I found the sleeve and flat felding the sleeve quite challenging so I decided to make a few samples so that when it came to making the final shirt it would be easier and hopefully neater.
Today I have started my shirt. I have started with the neck and the sleeves as I had created samples of them previously. I found that my fabric was slightly thinner to work with than the natural calico I had been using for my samples, before it had been bleached. I think in the future if I was to bleach calico I would buy a heavy weight product instead as I know it will thin due to the bleaching process.
