Black Handkerchief Linen Shirt — The Ellsworth Shirt

The American Beauty Shirt — Butterick 6771

By: Katherine Tilton | 20 Mar. 2023 | Patterns | Shirt B6771

Such a good thing when the fabric tells you what it wants. American Beauty Italian Cotton Woven did that even before I decided I wanted to use it for a shirt.

Three different stripes arriving from three different angles in three different colors along with that beautiful bouquet of roses was just too fabulous to miss.

By: Katherine Tilton | 09 Nov. 2022 | Patterns | Coat Jacket B6919

This is my happy coat. Every time I put it on I smile. My version that I took to Paris is made from Cast Iron Charcoal Stretch Rainwear. Too bad it only rained one day! The luck of good weather. I love the way it goes over everything and dresses up even the most casual pair of jeans.
