Throwback

So for those of you who've been here for some time, guess what? I still sew! And not just things for craft shows - actual garments.

Currently I'm making a shirt for my husband, mostly to prove to myself that I still can. It's been a while.

I swore at the collar, sweated over the burrito-wrapping of the back yoke, and almost cried over the sleeve plackets. 

So, nothing new.

I just pressed the side seams and sleeves and did the topstitching there. All I have left - all - are the cuffs, the buttons, the buttonholes, and the hems.

Oh, is that all?

I've attached proof of sewing, what I'm calling the Shirt of Many Colors.

And just think, when I met him, his wardrobe consisted of black, white, gray, and light blue. And they say you can't change men.

I had to laugh about your comment on your DH's wardrobe colors. I too went through the same thing. Nice shirt!
