August & September 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We visited Lady Heyes Antique & Craft Centre in Frodsham just before our wedding anniversary (18 years). The deal was Paul buys me fabric…. and I make him a shirt. Win win in present buying in my view!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He picked three of the brightest fabrics available, but unfortunately there wasn’t 3m left of one of them, but we got two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I got round to cutting out, I spotted there was only 2.5m of one of them, which meant I didn’t quite have enough to make the shirt. This resulted in a trip back.. as there wasn’t any of that fabric left, I ended up getting a contrast, which turned out a really good effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My go to pattern for his shirts is Burda 6874. I like this pattern. After some problems the first time with the collar and collar stand lining up correctly, I am now very careful cutting, and with seam allowances, so it works out fine now. The other thing I dread, but am much better at now, is the sleeve placket! I always seem to do view C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
