Yes, I made the Archer again - this is lucky number 9, if my count is correct. I really needed a nice basic white shirt in my wardrobe and I knew the Archer was just the pattern.
There really isn't too much more I can say about this pattern. I guess to say I love it would be the best thing to say. Here are the previous makes. The navy polka dot is my favorite and this paisley one gets the most compliments
Wait....... I do have one thing to say. On the pattern instruction sheet I put down the measurement from the collar band to the bottom of the buttonhole at my bustline. I also include the measurement between buttonholes. This helps to speed up the sewing process, I don't have to try on and mark each time I make one.

I feel like I have a nice set of white shirts now, this new Archer and my Butterick 6208.
What is your favorite blouse/shirt pattern?

Fantastic job! The fit looks perfect. And those jeans look great on you, too. Did you make those, too?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Justine, the jeans came from White House Black Market. I love how they fit and found another pair on sale for less than $30, so I have two pair now!
DeleteI could use a white blouse too, and I feel the same way about the camisole LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks and happy to know I am not alone on the camisole.
DeleteI really like all the Archer's you have made. This looks very nice as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda, it is a well-loved pattern.

DeleteSewing perfection! I'm with you- Archer will always be my first and foremost shirt pattern, although Granville is a close second. Do tell us about your jeans, please. Holy cow are those flattering!
ReplyDeleteIt is the best shirt pattern and I love making each and every time. I will have to try the Granville sometime. The jeans, a popular question
