Fourth Shirt

Well, here is the fourth shirt finished at last.  The buttons took an age to come because of the snow but they came yesterday so I managed to make the buttonholes and sew on the buttons.

The shirt is made out of a small gingham check which only cost me £1 a metre so including buttons and interfacing the whole shirt cost less than £4 to make.

Shirt Number 2

Here's the second shirt.  The fabric looks better made up than it did on the roll.  Definitely had my eyes going funny while cutting it out but it doesn't look too bad now its finished.

I have cut out the next one, think I will cut the other one out as well while the pattern is out of the envelope, then I can just get on with the sewing.

First Shirt

Well I have finished my first man's shirt.  Never even tried doing one before.  It's not as perfect as a shop bought one as I was still finding my feet with it but it looks ok, I am quite pleased with the result and think the nice buttons make it look better.  I folded it up nice and wrapped it in some cello then Xmas wrap.

I have got quite a bit done on the second one, got the sleeves in and the cuffs on, just button band and collar really to do on that one.   Still haven't started cutting out the other two yet, need to buy some more interfacing when I go up town.
