Many years ago I bought a length of soft blue/grey/teal babycord with a section of beading and embroidery across it.
I think I'd intended to make a gathered skirt, but as I don't really wear them it stayed uncut in my stash.
It has now been turned into a shirt. To maximise the embroidered section I cut the front and back with the detail running near the hem, the sleeves, collar and cuffs are plain, though I did need to line the cuffs with a contrast scrap of paisley cotton from Auntie Joy's stash.

For the pattern I used the Prima March 2020 shirtdress cut down to a shirt. It is a very economical pattern for short yardages.
