I've not featured a customer make on the blog for a while and I absolutely adore this shirt made by Teri a fabulous Faberwood customer.

I'd already been thinking this fabric would be great for a shirt, so when Teri posted these photos I was immediately star struck, I felt like she had read my mind!
