I have been on quite the sewing kick lately. I have also been scouring the internet for shirt patterns. It seems like I find a million skirts, but shirts are a little harder to come by. I did find this tutorial and adjusted it to a shirt. I figure you could do that to a lot of dress patterns.
The great thing is that they are pretty easy and really cheap. For the top shirt I made my own bias tape, but for the bottom shirt I used the packaged tape. Making your own bias tape can be a little time consuming, but I plan on heading out to Hobby Lobby this week and buying one of the bias tape tools that I have seen.
I did improvise on one part. It said to sew the bias tape shut but my machine was not liking the idea. I was having an extremely hard time maneuvering the small piece of material through my machine. Instead I sewed the bias tape to the shirt up until the top of the bodice and stopped there. To close the remainder of the bias tape I used Heat and Bond. Worked like a charm!

These are so cute I really need to learn how to sew. I have a sewing machine and have had for a couple of months but it's still in the box.
