Anyway, this patchwork madras shirt is amazing. Good thing you paired it with grey. And indeed, “From the outside, you'd never know the difference.” Great job for this one. I'd give it an A+!Savannah Lesliehttp://www.fullybarredup.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-50045025644018630592013-06-11T14:06:04.137-04:002013-06-11T14:06:04.137-04:00Yes to the Button down collar.

A large cut of madras patchwork! Mine is in shades of tan and brown, not my colors at all. But I'm thinking I may make a pair of shorts anyway. Mine is very lightweight though so I'm not sure shorts are a good idea. I'll have to look again to see if there is enough there for a shirt for my husband.Beth O.http://www.myeclecticmess.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-32814795984648941372013-06-11T09:37:32.464-04:002013-06-11T09:37:32.464-04:00I'm a new follower and you have convinced me I...I'm a new follower and you have convinced me I should try sewing clothes again.

I did all the seams on a pair of white jean trousers I finished up over the weekend. <br /><br />I didn't realize that men's shirt patterns/instructions have the sleeves go in open (like your picture) until I made a shirt from a vintage cowboy shirt pattern. <br /><br />I have only one lady's pattern that does the sleeve like that; it's a Vogue unfitted jacket and the instructions include the faux flat fell.<br /><br />Fun, fun, fun on the patchwork shirt! Love it!WallDruggienoreply@blogger.com
