Mr. SDSC was so pleased with his last shirt,
that I thought I would make a couple more to practice techniques before
I start playing around with the pattern and making it a better fit. I
used the same pattern, Kwik Sew 3422, and other than being more accurate with edge stitching a using a new foot for my Pfaff for the topstitching (boy that foot is spot on!), not much else changed.
The first shirt is made from a gorgeous cotton with width-ways stripes,
so I cut the pattern pieces out accordingly - I did not want horizontal
stripes. The thicker blue/grey stripe is woven like satin ribbon and
has a different finish - it looks rather classy.
The second shirt is a plain 100% cotton - slightly thicker fabric (I
have a feeling it may actually be quilting cotton) and will make a
greater cooler weather shirt.
I am really enjoying making these shirts - there will be many more in the future!
Lots more details on my blog, and photos on Flickr - pop over and take a look!
They are lovely msart shirts
