"Shirred" Delight

To update my spring/summer wardrobe, I created the short sleeve version of Burda 7942 with shoulder casings and ties.

Shoulder ties and casings
A rectangular piece was sewn from the top to the bottom of each sleeve in three parallel rows. I sewed four pieces (cut on the bias) of ties (right sides together and turned them out using a safety pin) and inserted them through the casings with a safety pin.

Conclusion One of the few patterns that I revisited because I liked the style and fit and the ease of construction. The ties and the shirring at the shoulders added a distinctive flair to the short sleeved version.
