New Shirt

I made this shirt today for my other half.  It is using the same pattern that I made the other ones from.  The fabric was off a market stall in Lewisham, London and cost me £2 a metre. Two metres was plenty enough as the fabric is a viscose and very wide.  I had to buy some more interfacing which cost me £1.50 for a metre but I have loads left over.  I already had some buttons in my tin so the cost of the shirt was about £4.25 if that plus a days work.

He will like this as he is always on about having a nice flowery shirt like you see the celebs wearing on the tele.  He liked the blue flowery one but this is a it more bold.  I can't wait till his birthday now in August to give it to him.
