When I found out we had to make a men’s shirt for “Symesterskapet” I panicked a bit, because I had never done that! (or a woman’s shirt!) With plaquets, collars and cuffs it’s quite complicated if you haven’t done it before, so I decided that I had to make a practice one first. My husband was of course really happy that I had to make men’s wear for once!
I searched for shirt patterns online for hours, but never found one that my husband or I liked, so in the end I ended up tracing one of his shirts, and just adjusting the pattern a bit for a better fit. It took me about 8 hours to sew it (excluding making the pattern, re-cutting the collar and a lot of time spent watching tutorials online, plus I didn’t put buttons in it until later). My husband got the shirt for his 30’th birthday in April, and wore it for the first time last Sunday.
He let me take some pictures but made me promise to say that he felt really weird and awkward taking them. The best pictures were the ones where he “pretended” to be a model in a joking way, so those are the ones you see here 😛
The fabric is from Liberty’s 🙂

Den er kjempeflott! Så deilig med mønster på en herreskjorte.
Takk! 🙂
Ja, det er synd det ikke er akseptert med så mye farger og print på herreklær…
