So I decided to take some yardage that I dyed and just go for it. If it fails, I have instant scraps for quilting, right?
I cut two pieces using the back of the scrub top below as my pattern. I will adapt the front piece into a "dashiki style" neckline. (If I can remember how!)
I haven't decided if I will use the serger. I am thinking that I will sew the seams first and then use the serger to finish the inside edges. The neckline was done with a facing in the original dashiki pattern, so I am going to attempt to replicate that part of the design. If it works well, I may make a couple more. I think it would be fun in batik.
Oh yes, I have to sort out placing the pocket - because a guy needs a shirt pocket. At least this guy does.
Comments are welcomed. I will reply when possible.

You are not crazy - maybe - LOL. It's been years but I used to sew clothing for myself and my daughter. The shoulder seams on a kid's dress are about an inch long - haha. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished shirt - ;))
looking good so far I haVen't made my own clothing since high school but making a garment from my handwoven is in my future soon
You certainly have a good start. My husband won't wear a shirt that doesn't have a pocket! Good luck.
I’d love to have that hand dyed piece to work into my crazy quilt in progress.it’s lovely!
