McCalls 6750 – Palmer/Pletsch – A Crisp White Shirt
Hello all, A number of years ago, I focussed my sewing on wardrobe builders; items which are considered basics and which will mix and match not only with each other, but also with what I already had in my closet. I did this for a year and really built up a solid wardrobe of very wearable items.

I did a big purge with the intent of changing the way I shop and sew as sadly for me, the last donation I made to our local Goodwill included garments that still had the sales tags attached.
