Are you loving the Archers that are showing up around the traps for Archer Appreciation Month? Just in case you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can read all the details on Rochelle’s blog over at Lucky Lucille, or on Erin’s Miss Crayola Creepy blog, or of course, on Jen’s Grainline Studio blog. OK. Now that I’d worked through my first Archer, I was ready for a second go at it, and wanted to be able to share a “good” shirt for #archerappreciation month. I’d seen a gorgeous J. Crew shirt made using 3 different Liberty Tana Lawn fabrics…

and I was so smitten with how it looked, that I spent a bit of time going through my stash looking for the possible fabric combos to make one just like that. Here’s what I came up with, my Butterfly Archer shirt. I’d been saving that piece of Alexander Henry Fulham Road Eton Butterflies in cream for ages, waiting for just the right pattern. I squealed when I realized it would be perfect for this shirt. I’m so delighted with how it came out. I wear it every opportunity I get, and when I look down at my sleeves, or catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror or glass, I feel so happy and proud. This shirt came out exactly how I wanted, and with virtually no mistakes or bits I’d rather you wouldn’t see. Know what I mean?
I’m already planning my next Archer. Either a chambray, or linen. Or possibly a white batiste. I guess I could do all three, yes? Helene xo
