Ha! I love it love it, right away I said he made it from a sheet!!! I love vintage sheets, use to collect them. Looks like a great fit. Thanks for the review

I remember sewing this pattern for my husband (then boyfriend) when it was new. Looked great then too! Great job and good use of the vintage sheet.

Great shirt! Love the pattern photo in the review...I guess they recycled that number! I wish they wouldn't DO that!

You and your sheets. :-) Seriously, this turned out fantastic! The only thing I think is harder than a placketed shirt is a placketed shirt with a yoke! I'd rather make a formal gown. Nice job!

Another shirt nicely done. I make all my DH shirts, so I can appreciate all the work that goes into them.

Another really beautiful shirt!! I love that you have combined a Western style with a floral print - it's a great look.

Another great shirt Peter. At least I didn't have those sheets.

Seriously Peter, you need to change the beginner status. You are 2 for 2 here with the second great shirt in a row with details that are not beginner details!!! I live in cowboy country and I get worn out with all the buttons....I love the timeless look. Great job.

Great job! I agree , Peter, change your status. Thanks for the detailed photos...they are inspiring..

Cool! I love the combination of flowery fabrics and men's shirt, and the shape of the collar looks great. It seems that this pattern has kilometers of topstitching. Great job!

Peter, I love your reviews, however they do make me look like an amateur! Nicely done.

Congratulations on a great shirt! The style/pattern combo is really cool, lowkey and comfortable. Thanks for the great review esp. tip on updating the older style.

Men are lucky that they can use the same shirt pattern over and over. You are right, the fitted shirt is great on you.

Wow, it looks awesome! My husband has been begging me to make him a short sleeve button up. Maybe I too will have to try and track this one down. I love it!

You folks are great -- thank you for all the positive feedback! As far as being a Beginner or not, this and boxers are the only things I can sew, so let me try some pants and then let's see. This pattern is currently for sale in a 46 (Chest) on Etsy; I'd check eBay too: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12030494

Peter, you are totally inspiring me to sew shirts for my husband. He would love your shirt/fabric selection.

This is a fantastic shirt. My fiance is slim and I used a vintage Simplicity for him - it's the only way I can get shirts to fit him, nothing in stores fits either. Thanks for the tip on other vintage shirts, I may have to track some more down for him.

This is a great look on you ... love it !!

Peter, you do some wonderful wonderful work. The fit is fantastic and I love the dichotomy of the floral pattern on the western style 70s shirt! Great job - you are an inspiration!

Thanks again everybody. I'm actually away on vacation this week in Provincetown, MA -- wore my shirt to dinner last night -- but can't wait to get home to my sewing machine(s). How twisted is that?!

I love your shirt! I've been trying to talk my husband into letting me make him a western shirt. I hadn't thought of using a vintage pattern for him, he's very slim. Thanks for the review and the tip!

AMAZING sewing skills! FANTASTIC photos! I LOVE all of the detail provided!!! I too enjoy sewing with older patterns. I have patterns that my mother used for my older sister, then on me, then my little sister, her grandaughters...the 'classics' last forever. Now I have a grandaughter and guess what patterns I'm using for her??? They're close to 60 yo but little girl dresses reamin basically the same. AMAZING job, Peter! I really appreciate your sewing skills!!!
