This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
The Classic Tailored Shirt »

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Men

Style: Holiday, Outdoorsy


Materials

Cotton Flannel

What was your inspiration?

The shirt class was a great reason to make something for my husband.

What are you most proud of?

I had to work on the fit. I made the shoulders narrower and the neck larger which was a good lesson for me. I loved doing the top stitching and mixing up the fabric.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Oder the shirt pattern Pam suggested. Its a good basic pattern if your doing a mans shirt and one of the only XXL options out there. I added the extra pockets and sleeve placket from another pattern.

That looks very good! Is this the first shirt you ever made? I am going to use the same pattern but I'm still waiting for it to arrive.

Hey Miss Janet!, That is a very special shirt, I must say!! I really like the combination of fabrics you've chosen, the details on the cuffs and pocket flaps, and the fit of the shirt on your husband. I am happy that you were pleased with the pattern, but chose to go the extra mile to add your special touches. Thanks for adding the pictures to the gallery...Well done! Pam
