I sewed a man's shirt for the first time. I used the Islander Sewing Systems #232 Hangin' Out Express pattern by Janet Pray. I really like her techniques for sewing and I'm finally getting better and better sewing with less pins. I still use them occasionally but not as often as I used to.
I made Girl M's friend the first version of this shirt. I sewed up a Large but the next version I will try a medium. It fits him but I think it's a little big.
The collar gave me the hardest time. Sometimes I think I just get impatient. I took a little breather then it went together fine.

AJ was happy with the shirt. I told him the sewing was far from perfect to just wear it fishing & around the house, but he said he was wearing it to school the next day!
I learned so much making this shirt and I am looking forward to making him another version soon.

I have a few pair of Firefighter dress pant to hem for a friend then I'll be ready to start another project.
Until next time................
