Wow, the princess seams don't look odd at all, on the pattern envelope they seemed crazy but irl? Totally fine! How do you like them? And is there any advantage to them other than pure style?
It is coming out wonderfully. BTW, I found in my patterns to be listed a couple you might like, a mens shirt that is a small, but it is oversized and has some neat seam lines and options for a casual shirt and a jumpsuit, that could be a good basis to start from. I am going to post them later today. Did you get your order from last week? http://www.etsy.com/shop/LadybugDuds?page=1
I'm a native New Yorker and sewing fanatic! I started sewing in 2009 and today make all my own clothes using vintage sewing machines and vintage patterns, in addition to sewing for private clients. Welcome to the warm and whimsical world of Male Pattern Boldness, where the conversation is sewing, style, fashion, fabric, and more!

ReplyDeleteAnyway, which of your eight machines do you use for buttonholes? Are you satisfied with them?
Love the sheet shirt.

...and who says men don't look good in pastels?
ReplyDeleteDid you go all "Tommy Bahama" and pattern match the placket to the shirt? Hoo ha, gettin' a migraine just thinking about it...
