Final Notes:
There is one fit area that I regret with this top. I did not study my previous muslin well before cutting out this top. I found with this project, the shoulder seams are too low for a “proper” fit. Having said that I will wear this shirt and will still enjoy wearing it. It’s not one of those things that bugs me enough to not wear the shirt. I would say this more as a note to myself that if I make the top again, I need to grade across three sizes (going down a size at the shoulders) rather than grading across just two (to improve the shoulder seam fit next time).

I did want to share a humorous thought with this project that will be a bit of an experiment for me. I don’t know about you but garments that I wear in the summer can tend to have armpit stains from deodorant and normal wear. That said, this shirt will be worn mostly in the fall and winter due to its thickness and warmth. Typical garments are not worn inside out. Both colors in this fabric are dark so white deodorant showing on the fabric would be a negative. This deodorant element will be a bit of an experiment for me to see how well it works to wear a reversible garment. Time will tell but I am looking forward to having two options of shirts with this top, especially for travel wear.

For reference, here are some pictures of the final details of this Pattern Hack:

I really enjoyed this project! It’s made me want to try more reversible hacks to other top garments as well.

I wish you all a very exciting time with your own handmade, reversible garments!
