這是我第三件 Olya 襯衫
這次用的布是有淡淡細紋的棉布
剛完成的時候感覺我選的布有點硬硬的
可是穿一穿覺得還是蠻好穿的
我覺得是我三件 Olya 裡最好穿的一件
雖然我也很喜歡第二件 Olya但是感覺起來這次的更好穿
跟第二件用麻布做的比起來不會感覺太夏天
所以一年四季都能夠穿!

Fabric

This is some cotton from my big Fabric Mart Fabrics order during Thanksgiving time 2021. It’s pretty thick. Nice and weighty yarn dyed cotton that makes a really nice thin stripes.

Pattern

This is number three in my Olya trio series. I actually cut the fabric for this Olya shirt at the same time as my linen Olya and finished sewing it about a month after I finished the linen Olya shirt. I think I’ve said everything I’ve had to say about the Olya shirt in terms of the pattern itself. But since I’m writing this over six months later, I will also add that I absolutely love my Olya shirts. While the pattern leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion, I love wearing the finished products!

Construction

I did pretty much did the same things I did for the linen Olya. My notes are written pretty haphazardly but I vaguely remember having batch sewn this with the linen Olya. I skipped the chest pockets again, which I will do if I make another Olya shirt in the future. I had picked out some special black buttons from Stonemountain & Daughter for this shirt but ended up deciding that the black buttons were a little too intense and ended up just finding some buttons from my stash (from a Wawak bulk button bag).

Summary

I thought this shirt seemed a little stiff when I first finished it and didn’t know if I would wear it much. As it turns out, I absolutely love this shirt! It’s even better than my linen Olya shirt. I wear it everywhere — to work, to dance class, to walk around outside, and so on.
