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

Were the instructions easy to follow?Very

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I really like the collar and collar stand on this shirt. I dislike the lack of a sleeve placket; I will definitely add one for the next shirt.

Fabric Used:
Combed cotton
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I flat-felled every seam by hand.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, definitely. I need to take more care in matching up the plaids at the front the next time, and I will definitely add a sleeve placket.

Conclusion: My oldest son's favorite shirt was worn to rags, and this pattern was the closest to the original shirt. It fits well through the shoulders.

	Peter in NYC said... Nice job! I'm curious to know why you flat-felled by hand -- or do you mean you trimmed the seam by hand and then stitched it with your machine? 2/17/13 1:11 PM
	KCraigs said... I trimmed by hand, and stitched by machine; what I meant by "by hand" is that I don't have a flat-felling foot for my machine. I like to think that I proved Mr. Coffin wrong when he stated that they won't look good if you don't have the foot (especially since this was my first time flat-felling anything beyond the side seam)! :) 2/20/13 6:49 PM
