Back in 2020 when the world stood still, I worked on a shirt muslin for my husband. I even got around to make a few shirts that have been on constant rotation and get their fair share of comments. Finding interesting fabric can be an issue. However a year or so ago, I ran across fabric:
My husband is a beer judge and is very active in the local brewing club. This makes the fabric perfect for him. I will be using Simplicity 5581. I am thinking that a wooden button will work well with this if I can locate them. Here is the finished shirt:
The brewer had a big smile when his shirt was finished. He was cooking when I decided to take pictures so it is a hanger shot. Changes that I made:
1. Added 1-inch to the length.
2. Added 1/4-inch to the side seams and sleeves.
3. Changed the button hole placement from 4 1/4-inches to 3-inches.
This is a great pattern if you can find a copy of it. It is from the early 2000s.
Happy Stitching!
