Hello, friends! It's been a while!
Turns out working for a public health agency during a pandemic is... stressful, time-consuming, and exhausting, among other things. Sure has a way of killing your creative energy.
This shirt is my favorite shirt pattern for Tim, McCall's 6044.
The fabric is a spongey, delightful teal wool Tim actually bought for himself on a long layover in Tokyo a couple years back. I sent him to Tomato and I still can't believe he's been there and I haven't. The wool is super soft and not itchy at all.

I finished his shirt with heavy duty snaps because my machines just would not produce a buttonhole on this thick fabric. The hem is finished with bias tape, as a double fold seemed like too much.
I think it's looking pretty good! I wouldn't say it got me fully back on board the sewing train, but baby steps...
that looks fantastic! what a great color and the snaps look sharp
ReplyDeleteBeautifully made shirt. Great cut.
ReplyDeleteYou're one of our heroes. Hang in there and breathe deeply. This too shall pass. For sure, Tim is a saint.
ReplyDeleteNice, very nice! Hope you get your sew-jo back!
ReplyDeleteGood looking shirt on a good looking man!
