The Roommate is getting yet *another* fun shirt. He picked out the fabric, and I got it cut out last night. I'll mark the pattern pieces today & get started sewing.
It won't have pearlized snaps, like the Western African shirt had. Instead, I bought red star buttons. The contrasting fabric for the cuffs & the yokes is great, too.
I did the pockets first. On the right you can see the flaps (left is buttoned, right is open with the red contrasting on the underside of the flap).
I can't wait to show it to you!
Music? How about Back Door Santa, Clarence Carter!
Oh how I wish I could get my man to wear such wonderfully silly clothing! He wears black and grey. And occasionally dark purple. And no prints. Doesn't leave me a lot of options!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Not only will he wear all the silly stuff I come up with, he doesn't notice my mistakes, either!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful. From one Christmas shirt designer to another, both thumbs up!
