Shirt Off My Back: Weaving Complete!

The fabric is OFF THE LOOM!  Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Here is the "whole nine yards"!  It's actually more like three and a half yards, but who's counting?

I zig-zagged between the pieces and cut them apart--SCARY! 
Here is an idea of what I will look like in the near future with my schnazzy new shirt on.  Can you picture it?
(please excuse the "space face")

That's a "wrap" for today. 

Next steps: 
1. wash and dry fabric
2. finalize shirt pattern
3. maybe make a "practice" shirt from commercial fabric
4. serge and cut out shirt pieces
5. sew shirt
6. maybe embroider design on neck opening
7. wash/dry/iron shirt
8. do the "Look!  I made this shirt from scratch!" dance
