Digiticious

I just had to make another version of New Look 6621!



I got digitized, mathematized, integerized, you name it!

Reverse the digits!

I cannot get enough of this pattern!
Back of shirt

From my very first PR review, Heather's Numbers Dress from 2 years ago.

I was inspired by Contrariwise's integer dress from the same fabric. I found the fabric on ebay for $8.50 a yard. Then I intensely searched the internet for this Alexander Henry "What's Your Number?" fabric. This is the first time I ever heard of this famous manufacturer for quilting cotton fabric. I did not have luck, but I found lots of groovy designs on several websites. So, I resorted to ebay and placed the next higher bid. I asked for more from the seller (5 yards!) and purchased 2 2/3 yards from what was remaining on the bolt. That's all she had left! It was better than nothing. I paid about $31 with tax and shipping.

Modifications
I sewed a "12" instead of a "14". I like the fit of the 12 better, especially in the bust area and more fitted in the hip area. I notice that the style of this shirt reminds me of Butterick 4985's, except that the Butterick has the front facing instead of the band.

If you have not seen this video, this is hilarious! Mathematicious!, set to the music of "Fergilious", which sounds like a rip-off of late 80's hit "Supersonic" by JJ Fad. A trip down memory lane for the late 80's/early 90's fans: Fergilicious, Supersonic comparison
