FABRIC SWATCHES

Find complementary plaid fabrics in various weights,

and grab a different plaid for each piece of the mix-

and-match plaid look! You’ll also want to pick up an

extra yard of each for matching the plaid stripes.

You can also just thrift a flannel plaid

button-up and add the embroidery.

FINAL TOUCHES

While you’re at the

fabric store, pick out

some embroidery

thread colors that will

stand out on your plaid

fabric and choose a fiery

dragon to embroider on

the chest of your blouse

pattern.
