So I bought the pattern and some lovely blue cotton chambray from my favourite on-line fabric shop, Fabric Godmother (http://www.fabricgodmother.co.uk).
I haven't made a shirt like this for years so took my time and followed the sew-along instructions on the Sewaholic blog (Thank you Tasia for making it all so much easier).
Here is the finished shirt. It's a little larger than I thought but that is my fault for not believing I could possibly be smaller than a size 10 (I don't think I've ever been that small). Also my husband thinks the sleeves are too long but I much prefer longer ones to being too short. In any case, the boyfriend look is in!
