SBCC Harvey #2 Batik

My stash distresses me. I don't even know what I own. I want to sew, sew, sew it away until it is gone and I only buy what I need when I know what I want and I have a plan. I have purchased too many patterns I now know I will not sew because I didn't know what I was doing. I have purchased fabric with no pattern in mind and no plan for what it would be used for. The result is this weighty burden. 

Still I buy fabric when I think I will not find its equal again easily, as I did when I went to the Sewing Expo 2019 and saw some beautiful batik-design fabrics (that's how I think of them). Some of the fabric was cotton, some rayon, some jersey (cotton, I think). The colors were so awesome I bought 3 bits. 

The white linen Harvey had gone together so effortlessly and fit nicely, so I decided to stash bust and sew another Harvey with one of the batik-y pieces, this time going for the long-sleeved version.

I am pleased with the result, although there are 2 mishaps. One is that the interfacing I used is heavier than I would like. The fabric--the rayon, I think (see, I bought it this year and I don't even know what it is) is very light and drapey. I had used a lighter-weight interfacing in the linen version, and it was perfect. This time I had something called lightweight, or featherweight even, but it was heavier than the other stuff. Oooh, I hope I can find it again.

The other is that I sewed the buttons onto the wrong side of the cuffs, or to be more accurate, I put the button hole in the wrong side after which there was no undoing it. Oopsie.
