Pattern Description: mens long sleeve shirt

Pattern Sizing: i took apart a mens large 'billabong' brand shirt to make a pattern and added the long sleeves from a vogue pattern

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Were the instructions easy to follow? i did not use instructions

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

Fabric Used: quilting cotton from J&O fabrics, lined with a solid flannel

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

Conclusion: every Christmas my son picks out a cotton print for a new and unusual shirt. i sewed the lining and shirt as one piece. this shirt has a bit of weight to it because of the lining. i used black pearl snaps instead of buttons and buttonholes. this took me about three hours to make with all the pinning required with the lining but the finished product came out really nice and fits him well.

Three hours! I think it would take me three weeks. I love the red lining and the big smile says it all.
