Blue and White Striped Archer

Something new and different for me – another Archer shirt! As with most of the things I’m sharing at the moment, I made this earlier in the year.

The fabric was from Sew Me Sunshine and it a lovely lightweight cotton – perfect for Summer days that aren’t 40 degrees! I’ve also just started a new job and this can easily be dressed up as office wear.

I made the size 4, as always. I’m much too lazy to trace the pattern pieces again, but I kind of want to one day. But with this one, like the chambray one I made before, I sewed the underarm/side seam with a narrower seam allowance to make it a bit less fitted.

I do love how it looks with these cream Ardens, which were also made from fabric from Sew Me Sunshine. I’m about to go on holiday to Thailand and I’m going to take both of these, in case it’s a bit chilly, and for wearing in temples (as you need to be covered up).

I’m definitely thinking I’ve got an Archer problem. I’ve lost count of how many I’ve made. And of course, I’ve made a bunch of Kalles recently too! I do love making shirts, but maybe it’s time to make something else for a while! (Though I’m sure I’ve still got other shirts to share here that I’ve already made).

    Ah so gorgeous and classic! You’re reminding me I want to retry this pattern. I printed it and taped maybe…10 sheets?…so far.
