Retro Shirt
Shown here: a shirt for a teen boy, fabrics chosen by the client:
I learned a bit since the last time I made a man’s shirt. For one thing, I use Pam Erny’s interfacings faithfully (NAYY, just love her stuff and the assistance she gives!) which gives better results. I am also better at trimming and grading and techniques of underlining and interfacing specifically.
You can see more photos and read more about construction in the Flickr tagset.
And while we’re on the subject, my favorite (so far) retro-flavored shirt I’ve sewn: Ready Set Robot, a shirt for my son two summers ago from fabrics purchased at Cool Cottons in Portland.
Shirts made-to-measure are clean finished on the inside (no visible seams nor serging) and guaranteed to be well-loved! I look forward to working with a few new fabrics… maybe next time I’m in the big city (of Puyallup) I’ll pick up something delicious to make a soft and sturdy shirt!
Materials & materials cost (not including overhead of sewing machine and equipment maintenance, renting and heating sewing room): variable; Time to completion of sewing: ~3 hours (variable).
