I'm normally not one for florals but I really needed to make a reversible pullover/blouse for work travel and I found this fabric at Joann's. The floral is tonal and somewhat geometric, both of which I like, so I figured, why not? Try something new.
I used flat felled seams to make sure the seams looked "right" on both sides. I used additional strips of fabric to hem the sleeves and bottom and to finish the neckline. Instead of the same sides together, I put the "wrong side" of the strip against the "right side" of the shirt so when I flipped it to the other side and did a rolled hem, the hem was the same color as that side of the shirt. I also put a pintucked seam on the shoulders for the solid side just to give it a little bit more interest. The solid turned out a little more bland than originally intended. I also made sure to cut the back in such a way that this shirt reverses front/back as well. The "front" is a v-neck while the "back" is crew neck. No matter what type of necklace I bring with me when I travel, I'll be prepared.
