Tag corduroy
This week I made a shirt from heavy, wide-wale cotton corduroy from Jo-Ann Fabrics. It was a wildly different project from my previous stuff, since the fabric is very thick.
Except for the addition more fulness to the lower sleeve and cuff area, I didn’t modify my usual pattern at all to cut this shirt. I used an odd piece of printed cotton for the inner yoke, since I wasn’t sure about doing two layers of the heavy cord. Instead of flat-felling the scye and side seams, I just serged them. This was, as you can imagine, an extremely enjoyable change of pace. Oh, and as you can see, the bottom of the shirt is cut straight across, with a sturdy ½” hem.
Finished, with buttons! Can’t wait until it’s cold enough to wear this!
This is pretty much all I strive to be, sartorially speaking. (via Maxminimus)
