This is the second time I have made this shirt for Mr Ooobop!, using Butterick 5007. The last one was quite literally a year ago. I added some contrasting detail this time. Under the collar, the inside collar stand, under side of pocket flaps and inside cuffs.
I also added some bias trim on the hem to retain some length but I love how it has ended up defining the shirt-tails and adding some more popping red!
I made a couple of adjustments namely to the chest, shoulders and sleeve length but the most time-consuming thing of all on this shirt was the topstitching and flat felled seams.
Defo worth the effort though! More info over at ooobop!
You did a fabulous job on the shirt and he is definitely rocking it!!!
Thank you. Only trouble is… he just wants more! :-l
He looks really really really pleased!!
He was indeed pleased. Which is lucky really!
Great fabric, great shirt and good looking guy – perfect! 🙂
Thank you Evis. He will like that! 🙂
You go girl!
What a stunning job! Nice to see some amazing man sewing happening! LOVE the piping along the bottom!
Wouaouh! I like it! And it’s great to have men around who like to wear “funny” clothes!
Definitely “keepers” — the shirt & the man!
