homejewel said... What an incredible shirt - perfect for playing bass in a western swing band (I'd love to hear them!). It really looks great on your husband. Nice job! 5/1/10 12:57 PM
MagpieJen said... Oh that's awesome! Fancy yokes like that always looked like they would be out of my reach, but using an overlay on a well-fitted shirt is a great idea! Your husband looks smashing in it! 5/1/10 1:17 PM
ClaireEmily said... I love your embroidery - it is fantastic and the design is so clever! Great shirt! 5/1/10 3:28 PM
Rhoda K said... Nice looking shirt and nice hand embroidery work. Be careful, your DH's bandmates may put in requests for shirts ;-) 5/1/10 3:30 PM
mssewcrazy said... The western shirt is wonderful. That's a great idea to use the yokes and cuff from the vintage pattern. You better hide as there are probably lots of these in your future. 5/2/10 7:26 AM
Nancy Rhodes said... Fabulous! Should be no shock he wants another... pretty soon you will be the official band tailor... wonderful scroll design on the yoke too. 5/2/10 9:56 AM

Hilary said... Wow, what a fantastic shirt! I love the custom-designed yoke and your fitting looks perfect. I agree with Nancy Rhodes, you may regret making such a gorgeous shirt-the whole band will be lining up for them, lol! Thanks for all the pics-I love that vintage pattern, what a great inspiration! 10/14/10 9:14 AM
