Are you familiar with the concept of Shite Shirts? Check out their website
here.
How utterly awesome are they?
I love the concept
but they are men's fit shirts. Also I'm a little uneasy about the total randomness of the combinations. What if I got a yellow one? There are no words in the English language to express the enormity with which yellow does not suit me.
What to do? Make my own of course.
May I present my Shite(ish) Shirt:-
Front
Back
The pattern is Simplicity 1013. Full pattern review
here. Each piece is cut from a different cotton print (except for one cuff which is the same as the collar). Most of them are from the Moda range "Polka Dots and Paisleys", though there are one or two others in there as well, including a piece of vintage Laura Ashley fabric (the date on the selvedge was 1979) and a tiny scrap of 1960's fabric for the front pocket.
It's shite.
I love it.

How outrageously awesome! I once had something similar, all different plaids...but it shrunk - or I outgrew it, lol!

It is certainly different Christine ,but then why be normal. Clever girl
What fun! How clever to make your own. Very envious pof your skills.
This looks lovely!AriadnefromGreece!
What a great shirt!
My friend Louise the Young Farmer had one of those in various Laura Ashley patterns back in the 1990s! It was as unique as she was LOL
You did terrific work with this. And what a great idea - you'd never have to worry about someone having your shirt.
Wow totally different and unique to you - far better than worrying if you got a yellow one.
Fantastic sewing..what an awesome combo!
Looks like a fun shirt and the sewing must have been fun too:)
Aww what fun
Great shirt xx
This is the first I've heard of the concept, but I love it! Yours looks wonderful. Did you have that Laura Ashley fabric since 1979 or did you buy it vintage? Anyway, I think I would live in that shirt if I owned it!
What a fantastic concept, I want a shite shirt, too!
Congrats on your awesome sewing finish :)
Lovely idea, well done
I like it, looks so cozy!
stopped here and decided to stay. Greetings from Hungary,
