Here’s a make that should have ended up on the blog a long time ago: Sew Liberated’s Joanie Top! When this shirt came out last year, I sewed it up right away. It’s everything I had been looking for in a short sleeve button up and has that classic, timeless look that I love.

This fabric had been sitting in my stash since 2018, just looking for the right project (and this was it)! I remember that I got it at District Fabric, when they were still here in Seattle, because it was one of the first outings with my Seattle sewing group!

I wear this shirt all the time and it has become one of my favorite things I have made. It’s the perfect spring through fall short sleeve button up. I get so many compliments when I wear it and I want to make a bunch more. I’m just looking for the right fabric. A solid gray fabric (like this Brussels Washer Linen) would get a lot of wear in my wardrobe or maybe another fun and colorful plaid!
