Another Olya Shirt hot off the sewing machine. All summer when it got cold I reached for my first Olya. With the weather cooling down I wanted another. With the plaid I placed the cuff, lower front panels, and back yokes on the bias which limited the need for pattern matching to just the very top of button band. This Paper Theory’s pattern is so comfortable and also is great for layering. Construction is a bit different. The fabric is a cotton oxford from Burkholder’s Fabrics in Denver, PA. #sewover50plus #burkholdersfabrics #olyashirt #papertheorypatterns
