I am planning to make a shirt. I can sew but have never made a shirt before and for some reason it scares me!

Ohhh we need pics! I love continental knitting, when I relearned to knit (hadn't for 20 years) I learned that way and I am much quicker (still slow though!) @mamavan2

@clothmama it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought! A few tweaks if I do it again now I understand the construction, but nothing scary at all!

Thank you :widesmile:

Fishsticks designs everyday campshirt,
Simple but effective. There is an option to have a yoke as well- might try that next time.
