Studio 280 Stitches: Bookworm Button-Up - Make (Believe) from Pattern Anthology

Did you know that before this, I had never sewn a button-up shirt or used snaps?!?! Melissa was probably sick of reassuring me by the end of this test but I was so worried that I was going to do it wrong!! Follow the directions, you say.... Well, since this was out of my comfort zone, I did and was still worried. Why? Not because the instructions lacked but because I couldn't visualize it. After every step I was amazed at how this little shirt was coming together. If you've never sewn a similar shirt, you don't realize that your instructions are not quite the same as a standard tee. Haha, of course not!

Needless to say, I initially felt like I had bitten off more than I could chew and I really didn't want to ruin it. It was my mindset that caused me issues, that is the only reason why I would classify this as an intermediate pattern. You have to have the confidence to follow the instructions to complete it. It sounds weird but, that's where I'm at on this. I WILL make another one (several actually), and you need to make one/some too! There are some amazing details that make this shirt to die for!! Long sleeves, short sleeves, bow sleeves, roll-up sleeve tabs, several pocket options, standard back, overlapped back, high-low hem back.
