Jumping shirt

I made a shirt to wear while showjumping this weekend at the A&P show! I am over the moon with this shirt. I based the design off one I already had, plus a few ideas I'd seen online, and some things that I thought would look cute (the collar button and binding):
At first I made it too big, so I unpicked the side seams and took them in, then made the armholes bigger to be more roomy for riding in. Everything else has fitted. This is my first time inserting a zip, or doing a button and buttonhole - and everything came out fine!
I am really pleased, and just have a few bits I want to hand-stitch to tidy up... but it's done! I can wear it this weekend. I am stoked with it :)
