If you read this blog often you'll know that I've made both of these patterns before and love them both. They're simple and look great.
The fabric I used is by Kokka - I have used it before in a different colourway to make shorts for my son. I really love it. I think it might be a bit busy for this shirt, but if anyone can get away with a busy shirt it's an 18 month old.
The only thing I did differently when constructing the shirt was to cut the collar interfacing along the collar fold line (a tip I got from the Oliver + S forums). This makes the collar much easier to fold, especially as I used quite a thick fabric.
Excuse the dodgy photos, they were taken at night, using a flash, as I need to wrap and post this present first thing.
The finished shirt. Quite busy, but I like it!
Inside. Constructing the yoke is fiddly but the results are so neat.
The hat. This pattern is really well suited to cotton canvas.
Fabric detail - because I love it!
A few of the robots got a head transplant where I attached the pocket.
Gorgeous as usual, great fabric :)
ReplyDeleteOh the prefect matching on those pockets - lovely!
