Roger's turn !
I took a break from boring business paperwork to sew this shirt for my wonderful husband Roger. He's been seeing shirt after shirt being sent to my clients, so I thought he more than deserves a new shirt too !
The fabric is wonderfully unusual...a medium weight cotton shirting with highly textured stripes that vary in thickness. This shirt was a huge challenge to photograph, and the photo does not do justice to the beautiful fabric.
SEWING NOTES: Collar, Cuffs, and Bias Plackets interfaced with PRO-WEFT Fusible Interfacing from ~Fashion Sewing Supply~, Buttons from ~Fashion Sewing Supply~, Fabric from my personal stock of shirting fabrics collected over the years ;)
You have one lucky husband, that shirt looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just sewed a dress shirt for my husband and am ashamed to say that it was a near disaster! But, I am proud that I did successfully sew the sleeve plackets (gauntlets?) and have your blog to thank, it was an older post of yours that provided the information to attach them properly, and in a way that made sense to me!
ReplyDeleteTerrific shirt! As always. Wow, you really matched the stripe on the pocket perfectly. I like the detail of the bias cuff placket and front placket.
ReplyDeleteAll of your shirts are fabulous! Thomas Pink has nothing on you!
ReplyDeleteGreat shirt! Inspirational as always!
ReplyDeleteAmazing shirt, Pam
ReplyDeleteI love the bias bands! They really make the shirt distinctive!

ReplyDeleteThe bias bands really are a nice touch. He's fortunate to have such great talent in-house.
