This little cotton shirt was inspired by some of my favorite sewing patterns! I’m always impressed by the simple yet beautiful shapes and colors and fabrics I see in Japanese sewing books. My knit version combines crisp cotton and a soft color to make a pretty little textured blouse to go with all those pretty little summer skirts.
